Bar your bike(s) which cycling related object(s) do you treasure the most from your collection?
I am in love with both my Sidi Genius 5 Pro's and my newly acquired Catlike Whisper Plus in white.... oooh yah!!

They make me feel like I'm 9 again coveting my old new Star Wars figures :lol:

    My photo of me nearing the summit of the Ventoux, bronzed, glistening with sweat, hollow eyed and grimacing with the effort.

    If you had asked me ten years ago if I would ever do that ride, I would have laughed into my pint and lit another fag.

    Fast and Bulbous
    Peregrinations

    Technically i don't think you can covet something you already own ;¬)

    but pedantry aside, i think the only cycling related thing (that isn't a bike) that i have a soft spot for would be my Chateau d'Ax top. In red (not the later green) it's still one of the nicest cycling jersey designs there have been.
    Music, beer, sport, repeat...

    My Kuota Kharma which was an Xmas present from my wife 4 years ago.
    Carlsberg don't make cycle clothing, but if they did it would probably still not be as good as Assos

    It was my bad, I was humerously implying you were a former Paris-Roubaix champion. However, my memory having caught up to my fingers I now recall it was Flanders that Jacky won with a trademark 220KM breakaway. :oops:


    As you were!
