if so what did you get..... 8)
I couldn't bring myself to ride an Apollo, so no.
What I didnt get is a christmas bonus
had a go on the office bike 😉
😯 😀
an imaginary bike would the be? 😥
whats a bonus??
Yes, what is this 'xmas bonus' stuff?
My bonus is having a job in the first place, so I shall be riding the bike I bought five years ago.
I cashed in my shares, and with christmas money have about 800 quid. thinking about a deposit on a scott scale, or a Cube
Genesis [url= http://www.genesisbikes.co.uk/bikes/mountain/alpitude/alpitude/specifications/ ]Alptitude[/url] pick it up tomorrow-cant wait! new bikes are fast.
Built up my Jones today = I'm still grinning 😀
Whyte 901 for me. getting it in Jan all being well....can't wait!
christmas ****in bonus ?
not a bike but new XTR dual control brake /shifters
ec90 carbon bar
Thomson stem
Charge spoon
Happy Christmas to me 🙂
my bonus was redundancy so i can see my fleet dwindling
I could but the wife won't let me 🙁
Nope but I did buy a new Hydrapak, a Blackburn pump and a set of clear lenses for my Giro glasses.
I treated myself to a Genesis io as an early present. The first ride was a bit of a shock to the system, but each subsequent one has been a joy!
I miss my iO.
Wahoo!! I didn't get a bonus, but am using some left over redundancy money from last yr to put towards a 2010 Stumpjumper FSR Elite.
It'll be ready to pick up from about the 10th Jan.
To go with it, I'm probably gonna get myself a hardtail frame that'll suit my Reba Team forks & swap all the bits off the old Stumpjumper onto the frame. Probably going to get a slot dropout Inbred.
The icing on the cake is that I should be getting my insurance excess back after the woman who crashed into me's insurance company have finally backed down and agreed to pay in full. So that'll be £250 going towards it.
EDIT - sorry, went into smug git mode there for a moment. I am quite grinny when I think about the new bike though, it has to be said!!
I don't get an xmas bonus, however the missus is getting some 'relocation expenses' in january...chance of her letting me have some for a bike are pretty much zero I would think though. 🙁
What do we need a fridge/freezer, washing machine or hoover for! 😉
2010 Cove Hummer Frame.
Merry Christmas Me
What's a Christmas Bonus?
I have got a Blue Pig frame sitting under the tree and boxes of shiney bits in teh garage waiting for me though 😀
No Bonus, but did get my new Giant TCR Advanced 3 this morning! Present to myself care of Uncle Visa 😀
No Bonus. I used the overtime that came in to buy myself a SC Superlight frame. I'm building it up today.
Just came on-line to work out what to do with the cable routes. More tea and I'm back to it.
christmas bonus?! christmas bonus?!....do they still exist?
Yay we got a christmas bonus this year too, but its not big enough to buy a bike with. (well perhaps a Tesco special)
Save it fo a rainy day. Well I would.
No bonus here (I always seem to join companies just after their particular 'boom period' and hear stories of bonuses past... 🙁 ).
However have just signed up for a second bike to work, so will be picking up one of these

then knicking all the ultegra parts off last year's BTW, putting them on the Cannondale, punting the old one with the Cannondale kit on it and using that money to buy one of these

before getting dumped for breaching the unspoken limit of three bikes in the flat...
Who needs bonuses when you can be this inventive with BTW? 😀
I assume the title is provactive
what bonus
new pads and cables today!
Bought myself 6 new inner tubes today and even those had to go on the credit card. So no - no new bike for me this Christmas!
I got some well timed share dividends through. I could have been sensible, but instead Treated myself to an Intense 5.5. Its ****ing ace!!!!!
ho ho ho indeed! 🙂
No Xmas bonus as such, but come January will have whole years worth of 'on call' money coming (we can choose to either have it in monthly pay or as an annual lump sum) 😀
Being an nurse I don’t get a bonus, but when I opened my pay slip this morning I did notice that I had been paid £38 for “proffessional Fees” – so come April when I have to renew Nursing & Midwifery counsel registration (without which I can’t practice) I only have to find the other half great – mery bloody christmas
No ****in bonus here - self employed
Also, wouldn't know what to get...
Oh, perhaps a custom curvy Black Sheep 29er, front suspension, XC set-up. But that would probably take half a year to finalise...
Working for the NHS no xmas bonus for me but if im not given my notice in januray the good news is the hospital are going to do the bike to work for the first time 😀 so if they let us maintance workers join im hopeing to get a cx bike.
Not exactly, but I have treated my 16-month-old daughter to a s/h Charge Blender.
Well, I needed something with a clear seat tube for her baby seat and got it for a song on ebay.
Bonus?? just had to take a bloody paycut!! due to relocating closer to home, i get less pay! not happy, wasn't mentioned when i transfered!!!
My bonus this year is being the only one in my household not to have the "Flu" at the moment
Do have £500 tucked away to buy a secondhand geared HT if one comes up in my size.
Yup 😀 a red un
Hmmm, xmas bonus = No
and given I've just had to go self employed in order to keep my "job" with the company I've also not had any income for the last month or two so no presents here either. Still it hasn't stopped our MD taking his 5th foreign holiday of the year, 2 weeks skiing in the Alp's. Its alright for some 😡
skidsareforkids: once I got over myself on the whole real riders can ride rigid thing, putting suspension on the iO made it a right laugh.
Christmas bonus! Hell they cant get my wages correct normally nevermind bonus ontop. I would love a superlight to go with my heckler though 🙂 Maybe next month, Got about 5 months backpay to come 😆
I got one with my tax rebate, thanks to Sly69. I'll get some pics up when I find the cable for the camera.
I'll actually get to ride it tomorrow...... ye ha!
