I'm looking for ideas for a birthday prezzie for a (male) mate who's a very keen cyclist. Budget is up to £80. I was thinking of the Hope salt and pepper set but open to suggestions.

How much are the King one's, I'd be dissapointed if I received a Hope set - not in the same league/cache IMO. How about something merino....

This is slightly over budget, but will get you huge brownie points:

How about a training day voucher, NP Racing do 4+ groups for £80 each?
Thinking of that for my own 40th............

How about some personalised kit, etched with his name. Betd will do this, as will Hope. Or personalised rotors?

King S&P set - where from?
Balding? She looks like one of the fat slags and you can get a few kebabs for £80...
Vouchers? DULL!!!
Lights? Nice idea but there aren't any left at that price - I'd have had a set myself!
I like the idea of the training day, don't think it's his cuppa tho.
Rotors / personalised kit is a great suggestion.

Add another 20 notes and take him away on a 'One Ton' weekend?
