You are having a large s**t, n'est pas, Hastings?

Outrageous prices. This saddle's the one that gets me, £590 for a saddle. A very nice saddle. But five hundred and ninety f*cking quid.

£108.70 for the wire basket. I need to repeat. £108.70. For. A. Wire. Basket.

I can get one of those free from my local supermarket.

I have just seen the cost of the rear panniers as well. I can only assume they a sewn together by nymphs using magic silk.

I guarantee these items lasting less than a minute on a bicycle around my way. They cost more than many cars in my area.

they do have silly prices... i had my eye on a brooks messenger bag a few years ago as a potential xmas pressy for a friend, who's surname is brooks... then i saw the £200+ price tag!!!

Yebbut yours will have Netto on the handle and not 'Brooks Hoxton' - gotta pay big bucks for sh1t like this, and it's got some wooden bits in it too!

Not quite as pricey but in a similar vein:

Crombie WW1 coat

No jacket, no matter how good, and I bet it isn't spectacularly better and may be worse than my old Parrot jacket, is worth that much money, unless you are a total fashion victim, in which case you have approximately 1000 Euros more than sense.

I'll stick with my more stylish budgie jacket thank you.

Surely you wouldn't consider fitting thos to your bike without some of these too.

 

[Beebo]

The thing is that someone will soon be cycling down the Kings Road wearing that stuff soon. They wouldnt make it if they didnt think people were stupid enough to buy it.

Some folk just have more money then sense!

In some cases that would be true of them even if they only had a fiver.

You can fool some of the people all of the time and those are the ones they're after.
