    I've always got a couple of rolls of electrical tape that i use for finishing off bar tape (they always give you such a stingy amount with you buy bar tape). That worked fine for stopping the fraying on my brake cables. Got some nice red ferrules in the post yesterday though :)

    In some sort of attempt to not be tripping over bikes all over the place :)
    Had a rather rude neighbour around to complain about the noise, after like 5 minutes of drilling (at 4pm). Sigh.

    He'd love living here then. When our neighbour was getting a new bathroom installed they started working at around 8am and occasionally were still hammering/drilling after 9pm :evil:

    Well, I always plan any DIY work to happen around the middle of the day, so I won't disturb anyone too much.
    Try not to do anything before 10am or after 7pm. Which is a bit annoying at times, as I don't get in until after 7, and I often want to go out over the weekend. So it's generally not at the most convenient time for me.

    It proper winds me up that he's so hypocritical though, given as he listens to his TV on max. volume at ALL hours of the day. It's rare that I can't hear it blasting through my walls.

    Some Northwave boots for the commute as I am fed up with cold/wet feet and crap overshoes that don't last.

    Oh, and a 90mm Ritchey Pro stem off eBay to tinker with the position on my best bike.

    the shimano ones look nice too...they have like a neoprene ankle seal so water doesnt run into the boot

    Fed up with cold feet, I popped down to Pearson Cycles to get some warmer overshoes. I was planning on something mid priced like the Endura ones everyone talks about, but got talked into getting these:

    A bit more than I was planning to spend, but they are dead toasty, and I got such good service, I couldn't say no.

    from you that's high praise

    I was thinking of the brooks ones but stumbled upon than one. I can fit all my bits n bobs in there for the ride. I was also toying with a man bag but thought a saddle bag in his case would be better

    Lots. While Wiggle still (just) had their 15% off offer going I bought some socks, and some more socks, and some lights, and some wool baselayers and waterproofs for the wife and and and.... before I know it the basket is knocking on 400 quid... and I'm not even buying a bicycle/frame!

    Oh well, 'tis only money, what else am I going to spend it on?

    This month? The following:

    Deda Newton bars
    Deda Zero 100 stem * 2 110mm & 120mm
    Lizard Skin bar tape
    Lake shoes (with carbon soles)
    Cheap cycle computer
    C02 cartridges
    Cliff Bars
    Kool Stops
    A set of brake calipers - not those some unbranded ones from GB cycles
    Two short sleve tops and one long sleve top from this site
    Garmin Edge 705 - but canceled the order due to delivery complications - will reorder at the end of the month

    Oh and a water bottle and cage.

    I bought a bike computer app for my phone, means the bar mount I got for it will come in useful now, all I need now is to get my bike down from Scotland to here and I can starting riding it!!

    New bike mount thing for the raleigh banana turbo trainer shed so I can mount my 705 where I can see it and it isn't covered by the sweat thong over the bike. From that rosebike place in Germany,

    Also my local Asda (Newton Abbot) is stocking the full range of SiS products so treated mysef to REGO as it will be cheaper than buying thank goodness shakes after every ride/training sesh.

    Oh DDD - Never buy Co2 from Wiggle, always buy from tyre inflators. Guessing you paid around £3.60 for 2 cartridges @ wiggle. tyre inflators will sell you 5 for £2.94 of 10 for £5.50 - so far better value!

    Eh? Do I read this correctly in that you use a £250+ GPS bike computer on your turbo trainer? Is your sense of direction that bad that you can get lost on a static bicycle?
