dhb bib shorts and a Castelli short sleeve jersey. Optimistic purchase earlier in the week thinking the weekend will be warm enough to wear it.
KMC X10L chain from Wiggle....wrapped in some German catalogue pages? They appeared to come from the outdoors/bike section tho!
Only 280g for £20...my SLX chain was 370g for £18
Went to a couple of shops myself, got gels & bars from one and a new set of nice light (100g) Pro lock-ons and some Parktools self adhesive tube patches - which they threw in for nowt - incase I need to put a tube in tomorrow on the Dyfi and there's thorns or summit in my tyres
Got a gusset lil chap chain device.
First impressions of it is ok, will fit to bike and see how it goes.mostly all metal which is good
Going to write a review on the bike monger website, find it odd after spending 30 quid on it there are no reviews on it.
Today he brought me Aerojacket wheel covers from the US...

Ordered from Winstanleys yesterday morning and arrived in Aberdeenshire at lunchtime today.
Unfortunately the box also contained an FSA headset, a fancy FSA K-force carbon seatpost and some Merckx EMX-5 carbon (road) forks. So I guess that will be another trip to the Post Office to send them back.
Anyway, time to start a new bike thread I guess.
Nothing today, but yesterday he arrived with a shiny new Cnoc 14 in bright green for my eldest. Fantastic little bike and about 3 weeks earlier than I was expecting.
Last week he brought a Rothan also in green for the youngest. Exciting times! If only the weather would improve....
20 pairs of Bolle safety glasses- should take me a while to lose all of those!
There sure is a lot of green on this thread 🙂

My nice eBay bargain:
Berghaus Faroe windstopper soft shell. Brand new, £24 🙂
Not expecting them to bring anything, but the sun's out and I'm having to wait in for the courier to come and pick up a frame - bet he doesn't turn up until gone five too!
My (used, but new to me) Orange Gyro turned up!
Thanks to the guy above posting coffee too, you reminded me to order mine!

Had a bit of a dodgy week:
Full 2x10 SLX for a new Stumpy FSR I'm building up.
Charge Spoon.
Exposure Joystick for a bargain price.
Lots of gear cables inners and outers.
A dodgy PF30 to BSA adapter that I don't trust.
50 meters of turf (which is dying as we speak).
Reverb for the missus.
Sold a laptop for ~£600 on ebay recently, that cash didn't hang around long. What I find most appaling is that out of all of the above I got NO haribo.
One of these....

Expensive. But hopefully, very effective at ensuring Mrs Slack's 'new' bike remains in her ownership.

Just had some 661 Rage kneepads arrive, which should make falling off in the woods a bit less painful 😉
On One Lurcher frame. Frame looks great but it's missing the drop outs. Email sent. 🙂
to go with the Scott that arrived earlier and allow me to transfer all of the rest of the bits off my cross bike;
