[#1348514]

Pair of merino wool glove liners for £8, and an attempted endura MT500 shorts purchase from LBS, but they only had Large not fat boy specials. Not exactly single handedly defeating the credit crunch, I'm sure you've done better. Bits are good, bikes are betterer though..

Some Specialized '10 Dexter wind/water resistant gloves

The Specialized concept shop in harrogate had pretty much every other glove they do except for that glove in my size. Evans (even online) only seem to do the summer specialized golves

They haven't satisfied my urges to buy bike stuff though. Must .. buy .. something ..

I am trying to abstain from spending on bikes for as long as possible. Nothing since the first week of January. God it's hard work

An old 2003 Kona Unit from the classified, an on one double fix hub, and am just in the middle of buying some 29er rims, so a fixed 69er looks like it's on the cards (one of the 29er rims is going to a mate)

Judy butter and red rum lubricant as I'm building up to the rite of passage that is servicing my own forks. I feel that there's a fair bit more building up to be done yet though, mind. The exciting bit's next - some circlip pliers. Woohoo!

I couldn't resist the Thor's in the On One sale, and the rest due to knackered parts (except the £4 'vanity' purchase).

I don't think I've made a purchase this week, never mind a bikey one.

The joys of no longer having a salary to worry about!

Two Ritchey saddles (one for MTB one for hack/commuter bike), and a pair of full finger Oakley gloves, OK these are not strictly bike specific, but for £13.95 from the Oakley store at Cheshire Oaks they're cheap enough to use on the bike, and if they get shredded they're cheaper than a lot of other full finger gloves out there.

Some second hand bars to replace my old Reetard ones which will snap sooner or later given the gouges I've taken out of them.

This afternoon, I'm going to order some oil, some grease and some Fenwicks. And a crappy style saddle clamp so that I can fit a proper saddle to the exercise bike 😀
