    seat post pannier rack, something quick and simple to put onto the bike for my pannier bags to get to and from work.

    Thanks Cori!

    It's a bar end plug. I like to plug my bar end, don't you?

    Talking of Wiggle, what is this talk of Haribo bears arriving with Wiggle orders? It's never happened to me...

    I'll believe the "Wiggle confectionary myth" when I find sweeties in my packaging (I may undertake repeated ordering from them, though, for the sake of thorough research).

    I have three packs of Haribo in my drawer - on a diet so can't eat them. But they're real...

    You bought them in Sainsbury's, didnt' you??? Until I see a packet in my Wiggle package I will remain convinced it's a big lie...

    I only get bottle openers, are they trying to make a point? :roll:

    Also people think it's weird when you happen to have more than one bottle opener.... all the time!

    I wouldn't normally pay the money for Rapha stuff, I know it's lovely but it's so expensive! Then I got some vouchers...

    I always stop men in Rapha plus twos to tell them how lovely they look.

    The trousers.

    Not the men.

    Well, some of the men...

    If you can afford £70 for some avg quality shorts perhaps you could see you way to buying me a couple of bottles of buckie :wink:

    Wiggle keep sending me Haribos...I don't really like them, I have quite a large stock now. Can I swap them for some bottle openers ?

    A Condor Acciaio, in pink :shock: with Campag Centaur Carbon, and Condor own brand wheels :lol: I just love Cyclescheme, it was a good deal in the sale and will be stonking value when I've finished paying for it on Cyclescheme.

    Campag will be a new adventure for me, i guess I'll finally find out what everyone has been talking about :wink:

    Nice buy Rich- just had a look at the Condor site. I like Veloce, Centaur should of course be better (as it happens, I have a alu Centaur crank to go on the Viner at some point).

    1. Just got a new Open Pro rim (on previous spokes and 9spd hub).

    2. I've also asked my mate to put aside an Ambrosio Excellight wheelset for my spring and summer use.

    Mrs CJ knows about no.1. Not so much no. 2. Not yet anyway. Have to pick my moment. :)

    Also hoping to swap the existing spokes and hubs on the present Ambrosio rims to DT rims in the spring because the former look a bit worn.

    I put a note on a wiggle order saying that i hadnt had any sweets for ages and also heard there were bottle openers now but i aint had one. On that order I got 4 bottle openers and 3 Haribo, worth a try :)

    £17 and a half quid for a 10p bag of Haribos. They better chuck the freebie saddle in otherwise there'll be tears on tuesday/wednesday.

    Lovely helmets, I nearly got one until they put the price up this year, so I got a sine thesis. Maybe next time though.

    Grrrrr, email from Wiggle saying my order won't be in stock until the end of February, so I shall order from somewhere else. Their loss.
