Do you remember I mentioned something about loosing my bike lights earlier in the thread......ummm, errrr.... I think I might have found them...
Setting off in the car to drive down to the in-laws for Christmas, I open the glove compartment and what should fall out...all of my lights!
I've just spent about £180 replacing them all!
Oh well, I'll have some lights to compare in the new year, (and some to sell to recoup some funds).
So I will definitely be selling a Busch and Muller Ixon IQ (only need one of these). The question is, will I be selling the Hope LED 1 or the Dinotte 200L....
Well, glad to know I'm not the only one who does stuff like that at times of stress. The question is, have you told Mrs. Magnatom yet?

Mags,
How much are you wanting for the IXON IQ??? I may be interested!
cheers

First commute on the new route and new bike today! 
It certainly is a bit harder, more ups and downs, but I really enjoyed it. The bike felt pretty good, considering that the set up is approximate at the moment, and that this was my first outing with campag. I like the positioning of the gear levers. (The front chain-ring wouldn't change to the smaller cog when climbing out of the tunnel. I couldn't get the lever to budge. Not sure what caused that, as it worked when out of the tunnel...)
Took me about 40 mins in total which isn't bad considering I had to walk for a couple of short sections due to ice etc. I'll post a video of the rural part of my commute when I get a chance (it connects with my old commute at Anniesland).
