Ok then, it' on it's way, I've been asked what I want for Christmas. :wink:

I have no Idea.

Let's get a list of ideas together shall we?
At least we can use it as an excuse to drool over cycling stuff of all kinds :D

    The key with any list is the budget. A lot of people seem to go over the top, especially couples, spending mega amounts and buying multiple presents for each other.

    In my family the budget for any presents is about £30, so I normally just pick out some computer games and general exercise related stuff. Last year the list included some games (most of which I've not played yet!), a medicine ball, a memory stick, boxing gloves and a couple of other things.

    Christmas sounds like a right laugh in your house. Do you forego the Christmas meal in favour of Mickey D's happy meals all 'round?

    I know that they are Bling, but I have asked my girlfriend for a pair of Sidi Ergo II Paolo Bettini edition.

    In my head I know it's wrong, but I still want them: http://www.gbcycles.co.uk/eshop.asp?wci=product&wce=SHOSID08BET01&desc=SIDI+ERGO+II+BETTINI+GOLD+LIMITED+EDITION

    Im after the new Solo jersey: England Maxwell cycles Jersey which is retro and looks good (IMO) and my name is Maxwell, cheesy and sad I know but I just feel I have to get one, better than the new jumper, after shave, pants & socks that I would get If I leave it to the missus anyway.
