Nice saddle and matching tape project by Mick at Busyman
Shut up legs...
Amazing work from Studio485 - The poster is available to buy here. I'll let their intro speak for itself:
Jens Voigt has always been a cycling hero of Ben’s. Never going much for personal glory, always pulling himself inside out and back again for his team leaders, he is a hardman's hardman. Inspired by Jens Voigt’s work for Andy Schleck on the slopes of the Col de la Madeleine in stage 9 of year’s Tour de France, with a Friday afternoon to kill & the desire to put some ink on paper, it seemed the right thing to celebrate Jens with a quote of his that's become his calling card.

What in fucks name is going on here? Jordan - I don't know whether to thank you or not for bringing this to my attention...

The raindot polka hat is real nice - this is definitely going on my shopping list. I'm not sure on a release date or pricing for these yet but I'm sure there will be more coverage soon.

Wheelmen&Co have just released this collab tee with ilovedust (SFGFC). Real nice type tee - I'm looking forward to see the hip pack collabe they are working on too.
Gear Ratio
I had an email from a rider today about what gear ratio people run around Leeds. He is also from a hilly area so any feedback would be good - Leave your ratio or any tips as a comment

Thanks to the guys (and girls) at iminusd for sending out the sticker pack - the chain pattern in the background is real nice.
TDF 2010
Had a pretty good hungover afternoon catching the end of this years tour with Ben. No surprises on the whole - Cav's pace is unreal at the moment. WOuld have been awesome to see Schleck in yellow but there's always next year. Lances one off RadioShack jerseys were real nice too - its a shame he didn't bother to get the UCI to approve them so they could have raced in them - I guess Livestrong gets a little more publicity this way which is great for a charity

The Grand Finale
The yellow looks all but sealed today unless a crash or mechanical failure manages to uproot Contador. The real race is for the green jersey with some top riders in contention with the famous Paris cobbled sprint, the decider...
