Stick with me and my freshly trimmed ears and at least people will see that you know beautiful people.

Gosh, if the website photos are anything to go by clientele is well fit! ted and his asymmetrically hairy ears should fit right in! I wish I was a beautiful person!

Ted is very TOWIE OD he just puts that funny accent on from his time in Surrey (as himself and Jiber took great delight in pointing out to us all last night!)

Though this would have been better for the cock-womble encounter with eco-bike-warrior himself this morning, how I showed so much restraint and didn't lump him on I don't know!

The three of us are the most dapper members of the peloton. He just can't get his round the fact that we don't accessorise as well.

and tyres if I remember

Jiber's Rose has co-ordinated bottles, valve caps, cages, bar tape, saddle, cables, cranks and outfits and accessories to match.

Well, probably, it's a while since I saw him on it.

Yes correct the tyres also match as they do on the Pinnacle.

Ah but he doesn't have a Cath Kidson flowery seat cover to keep his seat dry does he!

tedshred · « **Reply #311 on:** 28 January, 2016, 01:56:43 pm »

No, but he probably has a luminous yellow Gore one at a guess.

As a Gore ambassador I would expect no less...

I can't wait to hear what Mrs T says about that one!

tedshred · « **Reply #315 on:** 28 January, 2016, 04:27:49 pm »

It's sort of for her. Except she already has a bike with a basket so maybe it's for one of the girls.

If I can fit on it and I am allowed to keep it, I will ride it on an MEMWNS night, maybe the night we go to the Yacht Club

And never forget the get out clause is 'Oaky made me.......' I thought you might take it for a spin up TMNH!

Double oops.

I appear to have bought a second Elephant Bike

The Retiree · « **Reply #318 on:** 28 January, 2016, 08:11:16 pm »

As you have all this money to throw around make it a hat trick and buy me one please

tedshred · « **Reply #319 on:** 28 January, 2016, 08:16:38 pm »

I have had to agree to sell two bikes to pay for them. They are also in girlie colours. Will still ride them though.

The Retiree · « **Reply #320 on:** 28 January, 2016, 08:45:07 pm »

Why not you and OD will look lovely riding along with your matching Cath Kidson seat covers and flowers in your hair

Really?!!?

How splendid is that!!! You'll have to let another member of the peloton ride the second and I'll bring Penelope as well. rr occasionally of this parish also has one so that'll make four!!! This is majorly exciting! You see, I AM INSPIRATIONAL after all

By the way, I am awheel tomorrow morning early on. Details HERE in cased you missed it.

DL is apparently a regular at the Cath Kidston store at Covent Garden and has volunteered to source a couple of saddle covers.

Do you happen to know what frame size your bike is ?

Oscar's dad · « **Reply #323 on:** 29 January, 2016, 09:28:01 am »

I think they are one size fits all. Mine is a tad too small, not that it matters. It's not as if I'm planning on doing the BCM on it but don't let that put you off trying

Having researched their online store it doesn't appear they do them anymore, OD must have a limited edition.... best you get onto Ebay for a pair
