Please say they haven't stopped the Haribo!

Anyway, just got this:

And this:

on BOGOF, then another 20% off when I got to the till. Bargain warmth for my head!

And also a pair of these for under the baggies:

Was going to get some proper cycling tights but then these are only £9 and do pretty much the same job.

I know, I'm filled with self loathing about it. But I forgot to order some with everything else, was in Halfords for some copper slip, and it turns out they're a bit of a bargain. Plus it will irritate my riding buddies

I have asked my secret santa (via a shadowy intermediary) to get me a Surly chain tug for Xmas.

Just let yourself enjoy it.

Just bought some Gore Power Thermo bib tights and a Gore skull cap to go with my existing Gore windstopper gloves. Sooner or later I'll have a full Gore outfit.

N0bodyOfTheGoat

From On-One: long front brake bolt (99p), 18T Alfine sprocket (~£7), 100mm 40 degrees oversize stem (£10...to hopefully make the Felt F5C rideable again without back pain).

From Rutland Ebay: Polaris Vortex gloves (£12); Mr Crud Racer Mudguards (£19); Met Testagrossa (£35)

Crap video, but you get the idea. Can't wait to try them out on the ride home tomorrow.

Blur LTC from the every fantastic BikeTreks, replacing my Blur LT. Great bike, rails like its going out of fashion. Suspect I need a new fork to replace my aging Van32!

Picked these DJ Glovesup from http://www.fawkes-cycles.co.uk/.

A further long list will be getting put together in the run up to Xmas!

4 inner tubes from parker international.

As long as you don't need long valves they're only £2.50 each. I'm loving my new low profile rims 8)

N0bodyOfTheGoat

A 2009 Tricross Singlecross for £350 from Hargroves, after a test ride.

One of those Garmin 705 bundles that is on offer today only at Wiggle. One of the more expensive impulse buys I've ever made... :oops:

Fireblade96

One of these:



It's lovely. Far too nice ( and rather too thin) to wear on the bike.

Good to see you're supporting Brizzle to host the World cup over Portsmouth by buying the W & G jersey

Fireblade, I looked at those On-One jerseys with a lot of interest. Ultimately the bike-suitability (and my uncertainty about advertising "On-One" in such big letters) made me decide not to. Bargain, though!

I love my Crud Roadracer mudguards. They really are doing a bang-up job. Possibly the extended ends, both front and rear, could be a touch longer (there's room after all), but overall, a very satisfied customer.

I got a pair of these a few weeks ago and stupidly went out with them recently in the most ridiculously wet and windy weather. Hands were so wet and cold I got pins n needles and could barely hold the bars or pull the brakes. My fault entirely.

I've also had a red pair for a year or so and they're good when the weather is dry and a little cool for fingerless.

The Running Man

Well : just spent a small fortune in Total Fitness in Bath :

Ultegra groupset : (going for a compact as well in case I get to Ventoux next summer)
New seatpost : (to be decided once we've had the calipers out to measure the size)
New saddle : (going to take a couple on test which is really good of them)
New helmet : silver Propero

I suggested putting it off for a little while before buying it but SWMBO said she couldn't see any point if I needed it so it's all ordered and the guys will do the build in a couple of weeks.

Hurrah for TF
Hurrah for my smashing missus

Can't wait now

itboffin

My P7 light is not only late but not even in stock any more, at this rate I'm not going to need it this year :evil:

Also I may have bought a saddle from a complete stranger or just given my money away to a complete stranger online time will tell :?

Been riding it over a year now.

PS - Received Haribos with yesterday's Wiggle delivery.

Guys, can someone remind me what the very cheap and very excellent cycling glasses several people recommended a couple of months ago were?
