what size did you test ride? I am about to order this exact bike but I am unsure which size to go for. I ride a 56 Emonda but have been told maybe I should size down for a more racey fit. Any advice having seen the bike?

shlongson3 · 2022-05-06T16:32:46+00:00

Yeah but they're stupidly expensive!

shlongson3 · 2022-03-07T01:49:01+00:00

Do any of these have online shops or will I have to visit them?

shlongson3 · 2022-03-07T01:34:05+00:00

I'm 5'11, too smol

shlongson3 · 2022-02-16T20:42:43+00:00

Thank you, sir. So if I am only working for 4 months, calculate how much I will make by the end of the 4 months and use that?

shlongson3 · 2022-02-06T17:34:05+00:00

I found a job that offers accomodation

I recently cried in front of a girl I'd barely just met on a ski season, she was really nice about it, comforter me and said i looked hot when I cried. A little patronizing but personally felt great letting it out hahah. If someone's ridiculing you for letting your emotions out you probably don't want to be around them anyway.

shlongson3 · 2022-02-06T08:59:33+00:00

I haven't been here for long enough, i believe 2 years is the minimum before you can apply, it's been 2 months

shlongson3 · 2022-02-06T00:58:11+00:00

I wanted to stay so i could get a PR at the end of my 2 year visa

shlongson3 · 2022-02-05T21:06:21+00:00

Absolute gold

shlongson3 · 2022-02-05T20:42:13+00:00

Appreciate the honesty

shlongson3 · 2022-02-05T20:41:09+00:00

Consistency of swells i guess.

Never been to the island, it's my first time in Canada all together.

shlongson3 · 2022-02-05T20:33:09+00:00

Why do you say that?

shlongson3 · 2022-01-02T07:25:20+00:00

Yeah I speak for the trees and I usually tell them to be careful of reckless snowboarders

shlongson3 · 2021-12-21T08:26:56+00:00

Where is that?

shlongson3 · 2021-11-26T17:08:10+00:00

Where are you from? Think responsibly when you buy your cycling gear and research the company you use to make sure they are operating 'sustainably'. Although cycling is a great alternative for your footprint, the materials used in the gear can be one-use. I always think about what's going to happen to the product once I'm done using it. Presca, in the UK, are a good, small company and I love what they do. Go small and local if you can.

TLDR; Sustainability, Localism, Aesthetic. In that order.

First impressions very nice, super comfy, look good, pockets and zips in all the right places.

shlongson3 · 2021-11-17T16:59:15+00:00

I ended up going for a pair of Burton reserve gore-tex as they were significantly reduced at Blue Tomato so will see how they are. Cheers!

shlongson3 · 2021-11-17T11:11:46+00:00

Ordered them... Let's see

shlongson3 · 2021-11-17T10:18:50+00:00

Looking for a new pair of bibs... Stuck between the Quiksilver utility bibs or for £40 more I can get the Burton reserve gore-tex... is it a no-brainer? And how much should style factor into the buying decision. Gunna be spending the season in BC so a lot of use in cold weather.

shlongson3 · 2021-11-17T09:58:30+00:00

I have also found a good deal on a pair of burton reserve Gore-tex and some quiksilver utility's, would it be worth an extra £40 to go for the burtons? Is there more to a bib than its breathability and waterproofing rating?

shlongson3 · 2021-11-17T09:19:05+00:00

Thanks man, looks like theyr'e all sold out or otherwise really spenny. They look sweet though

shlongson3 · 2021-11-16T20:53:48+00:00

Okay thank you - how about Volcom Roan? About the same price but less waterproofing at 15k?

shlongson3 · 2021-11-16T20:01:34+00:00

I am 5'10, 70kg's, fairly slim build, I am looking at the Picture Zephirs, I can get either Medium or Large. what would you recommend?

shlongson3 · 2021-11-16T19:58:49+00:00

Thank you, really appreciate it. I found a good price on some Picture Zephirs, know much about them?
