So the Nine Streets turned over the 100km mark since buying it on my way home from work last night.
Very impressed with it so far and loving all the extra quality touches like the decent light set, the mudguards and of course the fabulous paint job.
There’s also something very satisfying about being first away from the lights compared to all the other bikes: something to do with the lack of inertia on the small wheels.
I carry my suit in the Henty Wingman and wear one of my running jackets – currently a Virgin London Marathon training jacket – and on my legs, it’s a pair of “Gore Wear C5 Windstopper 2 in 1 Trail Pants“. These are water resistant as they’re from Gore and very comfortable.
Intriguingly, they say they are:
“A lightweight and windproof 2in1 pant that can be converted between trail-ready baggy shorts or a full length pant when the weather takes a turn for the worse.”
Except I can’t find a way of actually converting them to shorts, other than by – presumably – cutting the bottom bits off or rolling the legs up inside or outside.
I’ve asked on their Facebook page: let’s see if we get a response.
