Received my Shimano shifters in the post yesterday from Rose Bikes in Germany. Inside the main box was another box...inside and wrapped in bubble wrap was a lovely 5" diameter china bowl with Rose Bikes and a logo on the side.

I'm always pleased with my Haribo's from Wiggle so over the moon with this! And they were £25 cheaper than anyone else I could find!

    Yeah, I got one of these when I ordered some spokes from them. We need a breakfast club to make sue of them.

    They also included a Shimano XT rear mech in the box that I wasn't expecting either.

    Do you need to buy an n+1 to fit the mech to?

    Be warned, you might not get a bowl. I got a little backpack.

    I was estimating at 5" by the way. It's probably an egg cup :wink:

    Done. I'll venture to the back of the garage tomorrow and double check what it is. No idea how many speeds it covers.
