The short answer is no but that doesn't quite cover it. They do a straight insert which any optician can glaze. Depending on the strength of your prescription it might sit too close to the eye. I had to go for the curved insert to get around that problem but then a mad scientist in the Adidas...

£300-£400 odd :shock: :shock: :shock: Unless you've got a complicated/strong prescription like mine then the lenses should be cheaper. Over 300 quid is probably a rip off for converting frames when I paid 298 all in for new glasses regurgitating from my post on prescription sunnies...

Picked some up in John's Bikes in Bath on Saturday. Not sure how much they had in stock but they were expecting more in. Presumably because all the new Trek road bikes in the shop all have white cable outers this year and white is the new black...... http://www.johnsbikes.co.uk/

Never had to pay for a beer scooter myself but fallen foul of the beer monkey too many times. He visits you after you've passed out, nicks all your money, ruffles your hair and then cr@ps in your mouth. You then wake in the morning wondering why all your money has gone, you look dreadful and...

I was hoping we'd get a few more replies before someone dragged out Queen :!: Not heard much by Wheatus so nice one Perry

Working from home the last 3 weeks I've finally gone through my CD collection and want to listen to something new so let's hear those cycling related songs and music I thought I'd kick off with the mustachioed Wild Billy Childish and the Buff Medways' "Medway Wheelers"...

I've had my eye on this for a while but if we all chipped in we could have a retrobike centre next door to Coed-y-Brenin http://uk.businessesforsale.com/uk/Outdoor-Pursuits-Holiday-Accommodation-In-Gwynedd-For-Sale.aspx It's been on the market for over a year

...and buy a bike shop. http://tinyurl.com/byxfo9 for a selection Also, this one that doesn't come up under the above search http://uk.businessesforsale.com/uk/Cycle-Shop-For-Sale-7.aspx

Got through a few cycling books recently: Both the Alastiar Humphrey's books are good and as Jamiedyer says he has a good blog http://www.alastairhumphreys.com/ Also read the following recently The Flying Scotsman The death of Marco Pantini - well worth reading Put me back on my bike -...

John, I think not although it may depend on how you pay yourself through the company. I'm in a similar position to you but couldn't register Quote form the cyclescheme website "Please note that the scheme is available to UK tax payers who pay PAYE. Self-employed workers cannot take part...

Could do with some padding though

I'm after a very small frame or complete bike for my girlfriend who's 5ft nothing so probably something like a 14" Kona Hahanna or similar. Only needs rigid forks as it'll just be a run around for the country lanes near us as she's not into off road. I won't be seen out with her on the heap of...

I've got assorted NOS spares for ONZA pedals but sadly only one set of spare cleats which I'll have to keep for myself (unless anyone wants the lot including my pedals) Retention plate kit (part #PDA-1406) Titanium spindle kit (part #PDA-1405) Bushing/bearing kit (part #PDA-1403) Guide plate...

I reckon tea's for mugs! Any tea will do as long as it comes with a large slice of homemade fruitcake.

I recently picked up a Carlton (Raleigh) Grand Prix from ebay for a bargain price. The frame number dates it to May 1980. Raleigh cranks and gears, Weinmann 610 brakes. There is a little surface rust so I'll treat the frame and get it powderocated. I was after an old lugged steel frame and...

I've got a DNA frame from about 1999 I think. I put a few dings in the top of the seat tube removing a seized seat post and just haven't got round to getting it properly repaired. I haven't had a repair priced up yet and I'll be stripping it for a p7 build so it's probably going to gather dust...

My girlfriend got me a new wallet (though that was the ONLY bike related pressie. Boo!)

Not my thing and not really retro but would probably suit some of the more garish bikes here! http://brainfood.howies.co.uk/2008/12/s ... -for-sale/

I should also add I bought mine about 4 years ago now and still going strong (prices may be a little out). Cheers D_XZ for pointing out all the other extra features - they really are great all round glasses/goggles I do get some strange looks when I wear them with a clear or orange lens as you...

A little known movie from Belgium http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJhU7mcwBTQ&feature=related Quote from IMDB: "In the 70s, there was Merckx and there were the others. Ghislain Lambert was one of the others. This is his story, a quite simple one. The story of a modest Belgian bike racer. His...
