To replace my broken shifter when I got SMIDSYd (Back in November :-( oh how I've missed my bike, and I feel so unfit now... )

but anyway... Shiny & new !!!





Shimano are even kind enough to give you a full set of inners & outers. Didn't expect that! Lucky I am so disorganised, and haven't bought any cables yet, even though I need a set. Double hooray. 8)

Please don't tell me you paid £250 for those???

You can get DA7900 for £270 :shock:

No, I didnt ! I was a bit :shock: when I saw the sticker though!

sad thing is, I wouldn't actually be surprised if they were that much - Shimano prices have been crazy for a while now.

I have one of these to fit.

Does that label say "Warning! Campagnolo products are rubbish! You're an idiot, what were you thinking!"

I have a Surly Tuggnut.

Good luck with that, those chainrings are made out cheese and the anodising will begin to start flaking off after a few rides - I'll never touch a low end Campag Chainset again.

My Castelli Mannaggia Jacket has just arrived. OMFG this thing is a work of art! Hope it works as advertised* on the bike.

*Of course it will; it's Castelli.

Just spent:

£12.00 - Pro New Classic Overshoes in ChainReaction sale.
£18.50 - SealSkinz Mid-Thermal Waterproof Socks.
£16.98 - Canterbury Mock Turtle Base Layer (Cold) with thumb loops.

And I bought a buff the other day as well.

Nothing like a load of new cycling kit to keep your motivation up through the winter, eh?

tavyabe

just bought a box full of these at £2 each from wiggle

I just ordered a pair of Halo Aerotrack rims and a pile of DT Competition spokes. Now all I need is a few Peronis and that's my Saturday night sorted!

Yes, I know. Very sad indeed.

18650 battery charger
dc plug things
battery holders
SSC P7 spare battery pack :shock:
specialized 1st base layer
battery booster pack inc air pump
ipod dock for the inevitable TURBO session

Where for the Sealskinz?

Jamey

We should total up what we all spend here on Bikeradar. I bet we could negotiate some discounts as a group. We must spend a good few grand a month just on random bits'n'bobs.

EBay, but all the others on there were the normal price (about £26). Not sure if I got the last pair or if he had more than one.

Here's the guy's shop:

Cheers, I'll keep an eye out.

I take it you need sizes other than small and XL then? It could be that's why they're so cheap, because he's only got the lesser-demanded sizes.

Would be only about the second time having freakishly large feet has actually worked in my favour if so.

Well i never, the stuff I ordered yesterday afternoon from Maplins arrived this morning :shock:

As did my teeny tiny camera, which cost £12 posted

Ok it's not bike related, but I've just taken delivery of an Apple bluetooth key board and 'magic' mouse, both things of absolute beauty.

Got my Gore Bib Tights and Gloves from Rutland Cycling.

Amazing quality - like everything Gore to be honest - and top service, kept me updated the whole time about items out of stock and also got a voucher for next transaction!

gabriel959

Got a 2010 calendar from Prendas



Also got some of these to go with my new Zipp bars



And also got this upgrade for my Alu bike

Roastie

...some Fi'zi:k bar tape, rim tape, some M6 screws, Avid BB7s and Shimano Centrelock discs...

Funnily enough, also non-bike related, and also a thing of beauty, this arrived today...

oxoneil

I've got a toaster like that, quality product, but my latest arrival is the DealExtreme light I ordered on 17th November. Finally turned up yesterday. TBH I'd kind of given up on it arriving.

Bright? Oh yes.

Today my battery holders arrived from the USA with a import tax of £12.15 to pay, pretty steep I thought seeing as the good only cost £29.76
