thanks for the tip CWNT

Bright yellow :shock:

Are they the solid colour ones or the translucent ones?

Northwind

Tubeless sealant and a new valve core for one of my wheels
A used XTR crank for the little bike (so the rigid can have the SLXs and I can finally throw the Isoflows in the bin)
A used Mavic 729 for the big bike for when it wants to do big bike stuff
A 3 foot crowbar for a minor trailbuilding project
A big lumphammer for general destructing.
A wee bracket to fix my mate's broken magicshine light
And a bigger Mmmbop frame

Just ordered a 2011 Cube LTD Team in White/Blue/Metal

Oh also a new set of digital luggage scales to replace the set I just broke, and a Casio F91W to replace the one I lost.

solid :!:

a bold move but it might just work! colour scheme is loosely based on my watch - gold, brown and a splash of yellow. these are my yellow.



if it's hideous i can just take them off.

Indeedy! That's what I like about them. When they arrive, you'll notice you get the yellow ones you ordered, plus a couple of sets of clear ones anyway, so if you do thing they look horrible, you can just use the clear ones.

I actually sent El Cap some yellow Livestrong ones a while back. Not sure if he's still got them. Think they went on the TT bike iirc. I'm sure he'll be happy to provide pics should you ask him.

thanks guys, i think it's going to look awesome. will start a WIP thread soon, just photos of the components for now, not enough time or space to start the build, i'm in the middle of moving house and the garage is full of stuff that should be in the loft. :roll:

Aldi 3/4 length brown shorts. Liner is very thin and I needed xl to fit my 35 inch waist.
Aldi sports socks. Very warm and comfy.
Didn't get the cycling shoes as they seemed very flexy and only had the red/White colour.
Wiggle DHB M1 shoes as they're 12% off, plus I have a £5 voucher and top cash back.
A felt F85 60cm from Merlin, got fed up with the Pompetamine in/out/in/out/in/out/discontinued/in/out/in/out of stock billy over the last 3 months.

but they are quite good and cheap, i made a blue/yellow one for the bike show in 2007 and got quite a few comments (possibly because it says god in massive font on the back?)

Nothing bling or interesting...

Uvex XP 100 helmet

cat_with_no_tail

Ragley Cheeky Saddle in White and blue (to replace the one I broke yesterday)

Blue Superstar Nano Tech pedals (because I've fallen out with SPD and my old V8s are hanging on by a thread)

A pair of Five Ten Marvel shoes. Hoping they work well on the bike, but if not, I may well just use them as regular trainers (because they were cheap).

Northwind

An Eskar 2bliss tyre for the Mmmbop. And some random plastic barend plugs to increase the order size for the free postage,also for the mmmbop

peter413

A self extracting bolt for Raceface cranks, hopefully it will fit

And a red Blackspire Stinger, was going to wait for the Superstar one but couldn't resist that red backing plate

Hands off, you can't have three faries who like red bits

Northwind

Have to wonder why you bought a blue bike really.

When we were on holiday someone said "I like how your bike is all red black and white, even the brake pads are colour coordinated" :oops:

peter413

No red option

El Capitano

4 X brake pads for the Focus. Stopping's become a bit of an issue...

Animal Off-shore watch.



Nothing too fancy, just a watch for knocking about with.
