Those shoes are smart. They're the kind I'd go for; useful for riding, useful for work, too!
 
Finally ordered a 5D2.

Great purchase! 👍



Finally bought the lens I was looking for to use on my Nikon D300:

It's going to serve me well in landscape, at the pits during races and interior shots when tripod is not an option.
Beast of a lens, material and build quality easily matches Nikon's or Canon's top stuff in these focal ranges. Super smooth zoom and focus rings too, it's a pleasure to use. :drool:
 
I'd read about setting the tension lose to begin with so will definitely do that, any tips for the cleat placement?

Start off with them in a fairly central position with the cleats under the ball of your foot, that usually works for most people. You'll need to ride them a few times though to find out if you experience any knee pain, then it's a case of sliding them or rotating them to iron that out.
 
Took advantage of being paid, by spending some of it in the Fred Perry shop.

You bought two pairs of shoes in one day?! That's verging on metrosexual that chief ;)

That'll explain why you want SPD rather than road cleats, I pretty much run all my expensive clothes purchases past my wife. Even my 4 year old complains about how I dress him!

Nice one 👍

:lol: Most of my expensive clothes purchases are made by my wife! I hate shopping so much I show her what kind of thing I want on the web and she goes out and buys it/ orders it (I don't trust myself with the bank card, especially knowing my past binging habits). :)
 
My Goodwill scores for the weekend:







I'd have done better but some other guy beat me to the vinyl rack. :grumpy:

I do all mine online but I did have to make special trip to try the shoes on for size...then bought them cheaper on tinternet. :p

Well, I am 33% gay! Allegedly.

I've yet to take that test, I exfoliated once so I'm worried about the result.
 
I think you might be right!

Somehow I think exfoliating once is the least of your (wife's) worries...

Feels strange to be clothed, does it?
 
Took me years to figure out what "Attitude" was actually about....

Never read it, never seen it in that ccontext either!
 
Bought myself a pair of these. £15.

I decided to collect Coldplay's albums, mainly because I love their songs. To start off, I bought Viva La Via + Prospekt's March for $22:

Twenty rolls of:

For an insanely good price I might add too. The same amount from my usual film shop would be around £160, I got this for £64. Then I checked Lomo's site and saw they were £9 a roll. :lol: Still need to restock on Tri X as well...

$40. $50 with shipping.

Bought it because currently my only way to transport my laptop is with this giant bulky backpack. Only reason I needed the size was because I took my Xbox and/or PS3 to friends houses. Now that that's not a problem the size is an inconvenience.



That and Steampunk Twilight is awesome.


Should be here on the 1st.
 
@thesrdic- That is some nice looking Amber 👍
