Without being nosey did you get it at a discount to RRP?
Yes, quite a big discount really! £201 comparing to the RRP. But it was my insurer who paid for it when my '92 Marin got stolen...

Nice to see it getting enough use to scuff the decals off the cranks

They disappeared in the first two weeks of riding

But I do quite a lot of miles. Just to say that I'm already finishing the second chain (it has just passed the 0.75% mark yesterday)

The original deore got killed in four weeks... Sram 971 seems to be much more durable.
