Thread to tell everyone what bike gear you've just bought !

Pair of these that may be too big - but worth a gamble at less than half price:
Where from?! Been looking for those to drop down to about £160ish...
But you *must* then have some bright yellow component on the bike... don't mess with the rules ladies and gents!
To be honest MM, I don't really go for Black and Yellow items, this is a bit of an out of character purchase, just ask anyone on here.
And as for a yellow saddle, bartape, pedals, cable outers, cable doughnuts and wheels with a yellow spoke and hubs; well you could't pay me to have them on my bike!
@Bluemoon - sorry buddy, yes it was Westbrook, Rutland also have them for £150, but sadly no 9's - 8 & 10 in stock though.
Might be worth a trawl of the German sites, pretty sure I saw one of them with the CXR shoes for £150.
And they also have the added advantage of stocking the half sizes, that frustratingly English sites seem incapable of doing.
Not heard of them, but this place has them for £173 - not sure about postage:

Thanks very much, only got an 8 or 11 left and I need a 9. The hunt continues.
I've asked them to match a pair of shoes for me in the past when I wasn't sure of the size, then when they didn't quite fit they were happy to swap for the right size...0 -

Congrats, and welcome to my world! Getting married in July and bike related purchases have been few and far between in the past 12 months!
But be warned, anyone trying to sell you anything wedding related should be viewed as wearing a balaclava - they're all robbing ba$tard$. An extra 0 seems to find it's way onto everything!0 -

I completely willingly and enthusiastically (yeah) went to a wedding fair last week. To me the experience was no different to being in the souk being constantly harassed to buy stuff I don't want.
I don't want a chocolate fountain, photography drones, a caricature artist or a photo booth at my wedding thanks!0 -

New bars for the Equilibrium

Had my only fast off in a pair of those - saved my hands from a lot of grief. Material was shredded in quite a few places over my body but the kevlar palms and polycarbonate knuckles had taken a huge amount of scrapping and just shrugged it off. My hands were about the only part of me that wasn't sore and bloody - although I was very lucky that was all that was wrong with me. Immediately bought a replacement pair.0 -

Nice! What size did you get. I opted for 42 on the basis that all my bars have been. But, they flare a lot and are noticeably bigger than my Ritchey 42 EvoCurve. I may have to trade down to a 40cmMy blog: http://www.roubaixcycling.cc (kit reviews and other musings)

Yup - I bought a Tesco BSO. Why spend £3000 on a great bike when I keep crashing them?ROAD < Scott Foil HMX Di2, Volagi Liscio Di2, Jamis Renegade Elite Di2, Cube Reaction Race > ROUGH0 -

Sit on them, drop them, scratch them, crush them in your bag - all done by me over the years.Waterloo - White City

These arrived at work today, maybe not £60 worth, but deffo £40 - lovely quality feel to the gloves, and the belt like strap to tighten them behind the wrist is easy to operate with gloves on.
Very impressed, £12.95 well spent.Felt F70 05 (Turbo)

Went for a 42 aswell, seem to be the same size as the standard Genesis ones on my 52cm Equilibrium.
Haven't tried them yet though0 -
Garmin 520, £180 ish from bike24. Moment of madness following a decent-sized tax rebate.0
