Original Sin Quickie Classic 1

Advantages: Excellent performance, very comfortable
Disadvantages: You're slightly paying for that quality

......they're called 'the players' Kenneth, you big eejit. Having managed over my 36 years to construct a body so biased towards the right side as to make J Edgar Hoover proud, the gradual emergence of a large hole in my football boots strategically placed directly over my starboard big toe was something that needed addressing. Some might suggest that some warm milky tea and retirement were the appropriate course of action, but as fully paid-up member of the Rage Against The Dying Of The Light Brigade, I opted for the 'replacement' option. And so it came to pass that my not-that-dainty-Size-Tens were easing their way into a pair of Adidas Team Mundial Astro Turf G. Classics. The selection had not been arbitrary.

...of the product at hand! I have always been a fanatic about keeping my bicycles clean and well tuned. From BMX to road, to mountain bikes, the key to enjoyment on two wheels is to make sure that the bike is properly maintained.

White Lightning is available in liquid or spray bottles. It also comes in a "Race Day" version. My experience is limited to the original formula... Read review
