A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game

Need to buy:
Single speed chain
Front Brake caliper
Brake lever
some style of handlebar that is useable - pista bars are too extreme for commuting!0 -
Pair of Durano's to replace Marathon Plus's
Front light - not sure whether to go for a 'torch' or push the boat on something from Exposure
Contemplating a new bike - may Alfine equipped
Don't really need anything else, such a bummer.0 -
I'm thinking of getting the SCR stuff fast in and amongst the general stuff and then tackling the Kharma the closer we get to the end of the year/In the new year...Food Chain number = 4

I do need a new rear light, as now I have two bikes I need one on each. I never remember to swap things around. Now, as always that does open up some decisions - Do I just get the simple one, or do I get the new MagicShine rear light and blind all the drivers coming up behind me. That does sound like fun...

I may get some Mk2 Roadracers, as they do seem significantly better than Mk1s. Other than that, I don't need anything, and I won't be able to afford any of the things I merely want for quite a while.0

You're drafting me Sir!
You can get the flip flop hub from Fixie Inc - if you want to pm me I'll give you all the details including the spoke lengths that you'll need. They also sell other ratios on the rear Gates drive.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.0 -
Once I get the CtW sorted at work (should be next week) and my leg is better (god only knows). I plan to get
Trek 1.5 or Trek Pilot 2.0 - or something else nice - depends on how the test rides go.

http://www.evanscycles.com/products/tre ... e-ec020778
Plus suitable locks and lights (undecided as yet)
then the Dahon becomes the winter bike/ cargo bike with the addition of some Ortlieb Panniers

and probably some new tyres

The commuting bike might need a new chain or something in the next few months, it's not a problem
On the other hand, at the end of the season the audax bike was needing a new set of bearings in the BB or a new BB, a new headset as even Hope headsets don't last forever and a lot of work on the wheels. The front wheel has some kind of sharp edge on the inside rim and/or needs a new rim tape and will spontaneously puncture at high temperatures. High temperatures occur when the brakes are used a lot. When descending a long fast road for example. Not good. The rear wheel has a shit hub in it and I just started building a better one last night.
However, when I was cleaning this bike the other night I discovered a crack in the frame, so now I need a new frame. Or to put it another way I may as well get a new best bike.
Pictures of the crack here
"Goodbye Setavento"
The Hewitt Alpine looks like a nice bike0 -

Cheers, I'll PM you for Fixie Inc details. Was thinking about Surly hubs before because of the width. Currently running an Alfine rear hub I built up a couple of months before, just need another challenge I guess. Not sure yet if I'll use stock District rim or if I'll use a completey different set.
But don't wory about drafting, I doubt I can find your rear wheel from Holland 0 -
For the SuperSix
SRAM Force groupset
Some nice wheels, maybe Soul S2.0s or some nice handbuilts
Some nice tyres
For the winter trainer Peugeot
New front tyre
Maybe a Centaur rear derailleur and Cassette
Possibly a new paint job
New forks
New headset
For the hack
New chainset
New chain
Have no cash until end October/November, though. I can see this being a long and drawn-out process.0 -
