Er, I'm in the process of turning my old fixie into a SS cross bike (yes, I know - nichecore to the max).

I've recently bought:

*FSA Vero drop bars
*Stem - cheaop from Decathlon
*Tyres - 2 x pairs (Schwalbe CX Pro + cheap Smallblock 8s)
*SS chainring in 40t and 130bcd fitting - thanks SJS Cycles!
*quill to ahead stem adaptor (Spa Cycles - useful for such trinkets)

Not exactly glamorous, I know, but still a good hundred quid's worth....

Well since [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/stw-forum-bivvy-ride-dec-4th-5th-from-machynlleth ]STW forum bivvy ride Dec 4th / 5th from Machynlleth[/url]. I have suffered serious 'gear envy'.

Not something I'm too bad with normally but after gaffer tapeing a bit of foam mat onto my Karrimat I went and bought one of these :

And since I got the 'p' taken out of me for having 2nd hand jacket that leaked. I treated myself to one of these.

Not bought anything for ages, bike related............. 🙁

Last significant purchase was a SpokeShirts light in late September & bought a new KMC chain a few weeks ago, but not got round to cleaning off the storage grease & fitting it yet......
