Caught Rob Penn's Ride of My Life on BBC 4. He bolted about the world buying bits to make his dream bicycle. Some good enough moments, but did a rather bad job of feigning super-loco enthusiasm at every turn (For fuck's sake Rob, it's only a fucking headset), as well as confusing most of his interviewees by pissing himself at really odd moments. He came out with a Campag Record groupset on a Rourke frame with Cinelli bars, a Brooks seat and a Chris King Headset and rode off into the distance with his wallet some 5 grand lighter.
Wimbledon-bound tomorrow, with a pit stop in Camden, followed by some summer rain in Anglesey with the Crash Gang.
Obsessed with Exciter's "I HATE SCHOOL RULES"
And the less said about the album cover, the better.

"it's only a fucking headset."
ReplyDeleteSurely the truth.... worth a watch, but I really thought he skipped BMX's in his little history lesson for some unknown reason.
