Ahhh a fellow Bolton-ite!

Argh! I've been rumbled

Hmmm <rub's chin> One mile from that ASDA..., Sharples, Halliwell, Tonge?

Now then, if I told you that I'd have to kill you, and I don't want the hassle at Christmas

I bought a cheap compass from Decathlon which I wouldn't mind mounting. I have an extension bar to attach standard sized gadgets to but the compass has extremely small diameter. Any of you tinkerers have an idea?

I have seen this before but you know what, I missed an opportunity of suggesting a relative to get me this for Christmas! Doh

Good spot reminding me of these funky gadgets.

Looks good, but what is 'hybrid composite' material?

The cynic in me thinks its just plastic, but happy to be corrected.

Nice bike, but I thought this was going to be a thread about the new boutique style shops selling high end Boardmans. I passed one such shop today in Derby.

No, I think plastic is very much what it is... no reason why it shouldn't be strong enough though.
I've been looking at the K-edges and I'm struggling to justify the price.
You can pre-order the SRAM from Wiggle now for thirteen and a half quid, so I may take a gamble, and worst case it can go on the winter bike.

I have the CXP and have been thinking about changing them.

why did you change the wheels?

CXP33 are nice rims! Do you have the CXP22 or 23?

Here is a snapshot of the changes my boardman has seen in the last 18 months
Fresh from the shop with a cheap wired computer and m520 pedals.

Bar tape changed to black as it went grubby and a wireless computer added,pedals changed to a 600`s.cassette changed to an 11-28 along with the stem being dropped .

And today, garmin 200 added and wheels changed to r501`s, stem dropped another spacer.

you forgot to mention the bottle cages too

I have just got a 605 and found it sits a bit too far back, so I was going to make a mount that would move it in front of the stem and also mount a couple of lights onto it.

Interesting. I wonder if that's symptomatic of you having too short a stem for your position? I've got a 705 and it sits on the sttem and it's in a perfect position.

Indeed!, i did not think mattered as they are just bling, the cheap ones broke
