...thread on which to post your wish list in the hope that it may be read by those who without a gentle nudge will likely buy you a pair of cartoon character socks and a bottle of sweet port for Christmas.

A nice waterproof courier bag please.
FCN 5 belt driven fixie for city bits
CAADX 105 beastie for bumpy bits
Litespeed L3 for Strava bits

Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.

    A new carbon road bike that fits me perfectly. I don't think I've ever had a bike that fits me properly. It must be a nice feeling.

    I have the same problem with clothing. Disproportionally long arms and legs as well as being above average height. I have to choose carefully or it looks like my trousers don't like the smell of my feet. Shirts are a bit of a git too, but easier to get right.
