Ere Colournoise,
Did you actually buy that/those pens?
I always wondered about fancy pens. Whats special about this set ?
Thomson elite seatpost just turned up 🙂
I'm just awaiting the arrival of my new pink ass saver
Today was a Daiwa Brazino seabass quest custom 80ml. Was hoping for a real to turn up aswell but something to look forward to on monday.

@chief9000 Yeah, I have a bit of an obsession with pens, pencils, etc. That one's from a new brand called TWSBI who are a bit like the Merida of the pen world - they have made pens for other brands for years but are now selling under their own name. Not stupidly expensive (40 quid) but nicely made, has a cool integral piston filler, fully strippable & serviceable, and comes in a broad nib size which many far eastern pens don't. Writes REALLY nicely.
Hey beagleboy,Where you get that science T shirt from? like it!
It's from www.shotdeadinthehead.com
I must be one of their best customers. 😳
An old classic album from the KLF called the white room, bringing back some happy old skill memories. Happy days 🙂
Nothing too exiting...
Pair of North Shore DH cranks for an old Cannondale, a Park star dangled nut setter, down race installer, a Marzocchi foot nut tool and a pair of Oskley Ful Cells.
Tomorrow afternoon will be a day or stripping down and servicing two pairs of bombers and swapping some forks over.
Clif bars, SIS go gels and a load of High 5 zero tabs 🙂

And in the same CRC box as above odi grips i got a decent pressure gauge as we service a fair amount of shocks n' forks at work not to mention the amount of times we have to inflate tyres so having a reliable pressure gauge is a must-have tool - my last gauge didn't do shock pressures.

I didn't find that saddle very comfy.....
Postie brought me xtr pads and bleed funnel thingy, gore bibs, 3/4s and base layer, proII bearings and tools and an a2z freehub.
Is it still too early to start with the big hammer?!
Go ahead DT, after 7 a.m. you can start making noise.
I've been using wafer thin seats with some success (Spesh Taupe & Romin) but still looking for more comfort.
What seat you using now DT?
Postman brought a Shimano UN55 threaded bottom bracket for me to put on my 12 year Scott G-Zero. This is the first new BB it's needed unlike my Zesty which is 18 months old and now requires it's third BB since new.
10 and 11mm facom spanners. shiny. and a suitcase - cuba here we come.
Currently back on my trusty Stella italia slr 135g...which is good for around 2.5hrs...after 3 starts to get uncomfortable. Reckon ill try one of those with a 'love groove' next something like a flite. I found the Antares very firm.
Banging has started 🙂
Postman bought me a letter to say hurty hand is broken and they didnt spot it on the Xrays at A&E .
