    I've bought 2.1" Nevegal UST, 2.1" Blue Groove, new front brake hose and a set of Fox F100 RLs in black, all for the Zaskar!

    Think I'm just about done now.

    ^ Quite chuffed with them, paid £16.19 for them at the start of this week, they've gone up to £26.99 now! :shock:

    ^ Had to get some new ones, my old Trek legwarmers are a bit Nora Batty now...

    I've been buying a square taper BB, a 7-speed cassette, An Acera 48T crankset... Oh, and a set of cables, a tin of nitromors, some 2-pack clearcoat and about a thousand scotchbrite pads, all for my old bike. Soon I'm going to party like it's 1999, and when I say "party" I mean "rebuild a bike"

    I've been particularily enjoying Wooly Hat Shop's Random Warehouse Picking, every single item was wrong so far :lol:

  • all ive bought this week is a new chain (kmc x9l-gold) and rear cassette (xt m770), neither strictly needed but does give me a perfectly servicable pair of spares for when or if i ever get the other bike built up!

    Got this a couple of weeks ago, too much snow and cold weather kept it indoors until today.

    A fantastic ride, no more hand and finger numbness, feels more in control than my old Univega and the suspension and brakes inspires so much confidence. I just need to get used to the the front and back brake levers being on the opposite side from my old bike.

    Some pics from Lenzburg.
