There's pictures showing Keiran's face, I noticed last week. He should be charging a comission.

BTW, $19 seems a pretty good price.

$19 is a good price, but i don't want to ride around covered in "CELL", and i'm not sure of the life you get out of the stuff for $19.

That's why it's $19. Your Vastus Lateralis is their advertising board! :D

Keiran still wears it

I've got T7 on one of my pairs, but I don't give a ****.

BTW, why do I need to submit twice ?

I think that the problem is caused by the migration of the users, the cookies that are used are the same name, but of course this forum uses a different sql table.

I would recommend that you log out of the forum, delete all dhbc.org.au cookies (including test.dhbc.org.au) and then login to the forum again.

In IE, you can only delete all cookies, select Tools -> Options and then click "Delete Cookies"

In Firefox, select Tools -> Options, select Privacy and then click "Show Cookies". Type "dhbc" into the search and then delete all cookies with a title that includes dhbc.org.au in it.

James, you've forgotten about Safari. It's under Preferences -> Security -> Show Cookies. :wink:

I forgot to add at the bottom of the email that I have no idea in other browsers.

I only have firefox and IE on my computer at home (and the same at work).

I don't know where the settings are in

Opera
Konqueror
Netscape

I am sure there are others out there, but I don't know them either.

ps - in either case, the cookie solution doesn't resolve the issue, I am continuing further investigations.

Problem seemed to have disappeared now. Not sure if it's my deletion of cookies or something you've done at the backend.

The reason why they don't show the head is you have to buy that seperately.

The knicks are actually very very good, most comfortable I own. The jerseys are a bit loose though.

I am glad Lindsay got this back on topic, it was beginning to read like an IT users forum and I was completely lost.

Must say that $19 does sound good even if the design does sux.

I might pick up some knicks to use for commuting / gym. The Audi ones I'm using for commuting are on the way out.

Mike, you looked quick this morning.

Pity i only like bib-knicks. Though my last pair were some prorace ones from probikekit and they're comfy enough for the $50 price. Need a few more pairs though, but i wanted to test them to make sure they were suitable when i first ordered.

Talking about bib-knicks, can anyone recommend a taylor where I can get the straps over the shoulder extended. I had it done at the taylor at summer hill and he used crappy cotton and in the end I hadn't specifed enough extra materail, so it needs to be done again.

Find one of those Asian shop run by a seamstress. They are usually quite good with their needlework. You should find them plenty in Ashfield.

I wouldn't go to one of those tailors. Suites maybe but not worth it for this kind of work.

Gees, you wear them down fast. Mine is still working away although I really needed extra small. The small feels loose after a few washes. Good enough for my morning rides.

I always find there's enough stretch in the straps for me, or maybe i'm not fussy enough. I wear size 3 and haven't really had an issue with straps being too short, though they probably are.

I'll check out Ashfield shops on the street.

I wear the audi bike shorts in the gym as well, straight after the commute.
They seem to be loosing their shape a bit.

The bib knicks aren't designed for my body shape. I just need to make them longer.
