It is a Sherpa, I have a load red hope parts to finish it with and as I much I loved the green I didn't want it looking like a Christmas tree.
Really like the grey now I've seen it in the flesh, such a nice finish to these frames.
New QR clamps for my lights!
Am not putting a picture up as they look crap compared to carbon wheels, XT goodies and new bikes, but at least my lights will now sit a bit higher and no longer be illuminating my brake hoses. Small pleasures!
YT Capra CF Pro LE in Blue.
And its not even mine! 😯
Hopefully picking up my new ragley frame tonight

Beerbabe frame bag, fuel pod, saddlebag and chainstay protector for the Fatty. Someone at work opened the package by mistake, saw the rubber and Velcro and assumed I'd been ordering bondage gear.

I saw it as a serious looking eagle-type bird, looking in the other direction...

Pedalbobs for keo pedals. Quite simply they are brilliant! Want to ride with normal shoes? Get a set. You will need to slacken off the tension slightly.
Very impressed.
A pair of Spesh turbo cotton tyres for the new Zipp 404's. Well the postman actually brought them to my local LBS and I picked them up from there, along with a new tub of arse lard. Doubt they'll see any miles for a few months though.
Confusingly a garmin edge 520. An order I cancelled back in September and got my money returned on.
They are welcome to come pick it up.

nice tyres them, done about 1000km on mine, holding up well so far, used them in some awful conditions, seem to grip well probably not the best tyres to use at this time of year, but its nice to use nice stuff 😀
A "Come All Ye Faithfull" Christmas Card from our local Church 😀
Not today but yesterday, some ridiculously expensive ladies shoes (xmas present), and a Macbook Air from the classifieds. (also xmas pressie. To me.)
A nice shiny though very pink Bronson frame to build up, and anti glare sunglasses.
UPS man brought me this (the amp) today 😀 [img]

I just received an enticing looking box about 18" long, 10" wide and 5" deep, plastered with Campagnolo logo's.
It contained........

Not terribly exciting.
M8000 shifter, deralieur, chain & cassette!
Evans cycles are offering a £20 voucher on £100 spend or £10 on a £60 spend. I split the order down so will end up with a £30's of vouchers.
Problem I have now is I ordered an I Spec II shifter so now also need new brakes 🙂
Shimano saints or XT's? I'm a bit of a unit so i'm leaning towards saints at the minute
Whoop, new set of forks, some wider bars and set of new XT brakes.
I am most pleased.

Rather aptly, a delivery from Thursdayshirts.
POC Trabec Race helmet and a Topeak digit tyre gauge for the fatness.
A gravity dropper. 😀
And a Macbook tomorrow! 😀 😀 😀

Today the postie _finally_ showed up with presents for my niece and nephew. Well, the larger part of them. That means less to wrap up, but it does mean that I'll need to drop off the remainder in the new year.
Green Ringle Holey Ti Skewers. Nuff said.
9:zero:7 fatbike frame and fork, in a very nice anodized black...
Two Antur Stiniog day uplift gift vouchers 🙂
A new set of XT brakes for my FS build, some On-One carbon bars for the same and some mk2 Nukeproof Electron pedals (the plastic ones) for the same build...i reckon this is going to be a seriously light 'all mountain' bike given that it's still an Alu frame....can't wait, just need mechs and shifters.
Plucking up the courage to brave the elements and take it for the set-up ride.... Mine's better than the one in the picture because it says "Limited Edition" on it as well!

I have absolutely no need for this at all but the technology which apparently makes it actually work as described impresses/baffles me so much I bought one just to see the magic happen.
This week saw two different front racks (for two different bikes), a packet of Alpkit Zip pullers to replace the (formerly missing) ones that I found on the very same day on which the new ones were delivered ... and a copy of English Country Lanes by Gareth Lovett Jones (a [1988] book about just poking about in the countryside by bicycle).
Back from the Powerpod setup ride (hailstones and gales 😀 ) and in a nutshell the guy who invented this needs burning as a witch.
