Who's got a new bike, then?

I went into A W Cycles in Reading yesterday and was warmly thanked for sending a new customer along,
so who's the lucky bloke with the new bike?

I bought a pair of last season's Simano M057 boots in a size big enough to wear walking boot socks -
blissfully warm toes riding to church this morning

It is me. Thanks for the recommendation. Rikki was excellent help.

Aha! Well done, what did you buy? Should I be jealous, or insanely jealous?

I wonder if you wouldn't mind piecing out our imperfections with your thoughts; and while you're
about it perhaps you could think when we talk of bicycles, that you see them printing their proud
wheels i' the receiving earth; thanks awfully.

I don't think you need to be jealous but I'm not sure whether I should reveal the nature of my
purchase yet. I'm sure to be passed by expert riders who will make comments like, "Nice bike, shame
he can't ride it." I would rather remain anonymous on the road for a while!

Suffice to say, it's light and has the potential for speed, rider permitting. Just the thing for my
triathlon intentions. It's like nothing I've ever ridden before.

However, for a while I'm going to have a stiff neck looking out over my shoulder for crumblies who
threaten to pass me on fully laden tourers made out of cast iron drain pipes! ;-)

Heh! You're safe from me, anyway - my bike is made from aluminium drainpipe

That's even worse. I mean, when you pass me I'll see nothing but burning tar!
