Hello bumper.  Hello bikes.

Take a pew, sit back and enjoy.

Don't forget the standard safety warning.  "Don't accept anything from a person called Hummers... It will be unclean"

First post on here so hello from me  (& bikes)   

That's not the bike rack at Aston Jobcentre, is it?

[bumper]

Thanks for the welcome guys. I'll look out for Hummers   

not Aston Paul my own slice of little Britain  away from work and the wife, my bike/fishing workshop, both pastimes are not allowed in the house !!

Ay up bikes!  Ay up Bumper!

You seem to have a nice stable of rides - I hope you fit in well here...

[Frenchie]

Wilier, hum... Nice. Which model is that?

[clarion]

Saw a Wilier blurring past the Practice window yesterday.  Just the grin on the rider's face remaining...

I spent some time on Saturday stroking Willier goodness in Selfridges - but Mr R won't let me purchase another machine...

That looks like a really nice bike of bumper's, but Willier had a shockingly overpriced and badly-finished fixed at the Cycle Show last year.  It kind of put me off a bit...

[clarion]

The one at the show was a bit off-putting, but I had a colleague at ICE commuted on one, and it was very well done.

Hi everyone 

Wilier, hum... Nice. Which model is that?

it's an Izoard

stroking Willier goodness in Selfridges

That sounds very kinky. I think I'll fit in well here 


Regarding the finish, it's one of the best I've had on a bike. There's not a mark on it anywhere ( yet!!). The paint, stickers and lacquer are spot on. The finish on the Specialized is more dodgy but they're both finished way better than my last 2 C'dales were which was why I stopped buying them. 

The only thing with the Wilier is that you can't go slowly on it. I just have to hammer everywhere

Funnily enough a Wilier Izoard (Centaur) was also on my list of possible purchases.

Quality sporty road bikes made from baked-soot that come with Campag are quite rare...

I'll be waiting for the next financial year though so I can make the purchase through the cycle2work scheme and save on tax.

I find that with my Woodrup <-------

Well, to the extent that I can hammer

I am used the possible purchase of a soot-based bike (such as a Willier) as the impetus to lose weight.

That sounds fine perfect to me  ; mine would have to be Shimano equipped though...

And it is Wilier, with one l, BTW everyone!

Yes, good point. Speeling errods in brand names do annoy me. (Brookes anyone? *stab*)

[clarion]

And it is Wilier, with one l, BTW everyone, except Clarion, who is so cool and knowledgeable, he spelled it correctly, though, cast in his common role of cassandra, he was ignored by the following posters!

Fixed that for you

That Cyclesurgery in Selfridges, incidentally, won’t let you use your LCC discount there, but the kind sales assistant said I could transfer my new shoes to the Holborn branch (I work roughly in between the two) and get the discount applied there. So I did. Pesky Selfridges don’t allow the discount, apparently.

[Jasper the surreal cyclist]

I've got a Wilier.......

That's two of us in the 'how do you pronounce it' club then 

[clarion]

I rode with a chap on a Wilier this morning. Nice looking bike, even if the graphics are a bit busy.
