Pac Man Cuff Links

Preparing my outfit for the Brompton World Championship (BWC) 2013 I just run over a pair of lovely cuff links.

I liked them right off the bat. Perfect fit for my Pac Man fenders. Now I need a appropriate shirt – that’s one small step for man… one… giant leap for a Bromptoneer.

Less then two weeks until the BWC 2013. Got my train ticket from Cologne to Chichester. My Brompton is nearly ready to rumble. I will do a last service on the next weekend.

Hopefully my registration worked – I registered on the first day after the web form went online. Got an auto reply email from PayPal that Bikesoup Limited has received my payment. That’s it so far – never heard anything else from Orbital Festival (the organizer).

Update: uuhhhhh – sad news (at least for myself): can’t go to the BWC this year… <sniff>

The fenders I saw from Nisna Cycles were not the ones I own now, but very nice designs too – the Pac Man fender transports just everything a computer guy of my age ever dreamed of. They are one of a kind. Great craftsmanship. Perfect.
