Instant Schleckism


A trip into town for a spot of lunch with the beloved gave me the opportunity to escape for an hour and have a look at the new and improved Condor Cycles shop. I have to say it was very nicely done with plenty of light and space and a (albeit small) dash of creativity in the merchandising and display. Typically of me I looked around itching to spend only to leave empty handed (a combination of the paradox of choice and the 7 deep queue to pay - business is good at Condor obviously). One of the things that caught my eye was a pair of white Oakley Jawbones. Now, I have looked at these during le Tour and didn't think much of them in comparison to Radars (especially the Livestrong versions - I don't care how 'noble' your cause is Lance, you still look a twat in them!) but, in the flesh, they are quite intriguing. Sadly at Condor they were locked up tight in a glass case but back on sunny Oxford Street I spied them in a shop where they were enticingly unguarded for the casual try on. 'Oh, yeah' thought I once I looked in the mirror, 'it's all making sense now - instant Schleckism'. At £200 a pair there is no way that I am getting them but it was nice to dream of being the great man for a few moments.

  1. Surely a set of orange rimmed glasses a la Wiggo would have complimented that Tuscan sunset friseur of yours?Having said that,as with my Euro fighter white is most definitely right!And it would certainly give ones skin tone the vital lift!
