Mr T will be pleased...

There was a gold-coloured Dura Ace front mech being auctioned off earlier today. It must have
finished because I can't find it anymore; perhaps someone, somewhere is busy building the Bike With
Bling Bling.

Rohloff have two models (8 & 9 speed), but at a much higher price. But they are not listed under
Chains, you'll find them in the catalogue under Gifts!

Really cool.

Maybe one could rig up a bootle/hub dynamo running several lights attached to the cross bar that
illuminate the chain when cycling.

At least it has a purpose, unlike a stand....

A couple of years ago I wouldn't have contemplated owning a bike with a stand, terribly naff! Now I
have two, have realised I Was Wrong About Stands, and they both get plenty of use. They can be very
handy things. [un]Loading luggage where there isn't a handy kerb to park a pedal against, for
example, is significantly easier.

But it'd cost you 150 quid?

Ah, but Rohloff did gold chains as well. That's real gold, I hasten to add, not gold coloured. RRP
was of the order of 150 beer tokens.

Sounds as though a potential purchaser would need to be interested in
(a) cycling and (b) chunky gold chains, which means it's an ideal gift for Sir Jimmy Saville!!
