    Howdo,
    I hope this is ok, I don't use social media really. I'm running a marathon on Sunday coming and wondered if any of you kind folks might like to sponsor me!
    All the best,

    Its a 2012 model, barely used and extensively upgraded. I would hope that's apparent from the photos.I'm only selling it as I have my eye on something else. The condition is testament to how often its been used. Its immaculate throughout.

    I had some success with a body paint skin suit a couple of years ago. It cost way too much to perforate with rusty drawing pins so I took my cue from a historic JWCC skinsuit which had tabs of lycra on the tail for number application.
     
    I sacrificed some old armwarmers and with a shaky hand I stitched some lycra tabs onto my eyewateringly expensive skinsuit. The tabs were outwith the standard number size to accommodate a stretch when in the tucked position. There's loads
    of 'give' in lycra.
     
    It worked rather well.

    Important point, dont queue at the start, just steam right down to the front. We made that mistake before! Do wear mitts, (as someone who never wears them, but suffered the blisters after the Flanders) make sure you're Garmin is reinforced with insulating tape, do bend your bottle cages so they grip extra tight and ensure tyres are inflated to 100 psi max.
     
    These are just some pointers, nothing can prepare you for the Bergs. I like to think I could enjoy a pint after most bike rides but after completing the Tour Of Flanders I had something to eat, a pint then went to my bed. #everyone else went out on the lash....
     
    Enjoy!

    Jody,
     
    No need to spend that much on lighting. I have one of these 900 lumen! which I paid considerably more for btw; http://www.ebuyer.co...ike-light-mj808
     
    I use it for commuting on unlit roads. It performs admirably, in fact on full beam I get flashed by oncoming drivers, best to have it slightly pointing downwards.
    Alot of MTB types swear by them too.
    Magicshine, all the light you'll need.
