    I have just ordered me a Focus Variado Expert from Wiggle! I hummed and hawed over getting the Canyon, but in the end decided that the Focus was the way to go...

    Can't wait for it to arrive now :D

    Nice bike. There'll be no stopping you now. Bet you're hoping it arrives before Saturday?

    Apparently Jif is your only man for cleaning white bar tape.

    I'm jealous. I really have to get a better job that pays me more money.

    I like the white on the bike.

    But yeah, my white handlebar tape on my self-built fixie turned a manky shade of old underpants cream/brown fairly quickly.

    I'd forgotten about that one actually. Half the people put up stock photos of their bike though, which kind of takes away the novelty.

    We should start a 2008 version. Actual pictures only and if possible make it a sticky.

    Goddamnit!!!

    I ordered Tuesday morning, got an email today to say the credit card had been declined, to check with the bank and get back to them.

    I phoned my CC company, and they had authorised the sale, and 15secs later Wiggle reversed the transaction. Told them this and they said they'd try to process again... why can't anything be easy!

    -Also, the price of Focus bikes is going up on Sunday cos of the poor exchange rate, so I get in at the right time :)

    Mostly annoyed that they don't have a telephone number so you can talk to a human and get it sorted!
