Mail order bride from the adverts on here.

Just one question - are they always self assembly, this one seems to be leaking red stuff and I don't seem to have been sent an allen key.

Nothing personally, I think I signed for a pile of computers earlier in work but the techie's whisked them away.

I'm waiting for an oval narrow/wide from CRC, bit of a stab in the dark for me, but I thought I'd give it a go - I didn't pay CRC for faster delivery so this side of Xmas would be nice.

New Ultegra cranks in 165mm length following the wife's bike fit session on Tuesday. Shiny carbon Rival ones in 172.5 to go on classifieds when I swap them over in the hope of clawing some of the cost back. (Also had to have new bars & stem plus new bar tape...)

A rather nice short sleeved road jersey from Torm. Thought I'd give them a go having read about them on here I think.

Also a couple of carbon brushes for a washing machine motor came via DPD this morning. Fitted them over lunch. An absolute bugger of a fiddly job.

idiots

despite being on the drivers van, and him driving it round all day, it hadn't been scanned on so wasn't in his delivery log, so didn't attempt to deliver when in the area, so now its off back to the depot, i can collect it between 7 and 8pm, or have it redelivered before 10am tomorrow

idiots

We had a Stumpjumper come last week, along with some tyres and a digital shock pump. Then a helmet and front brake.
So far this week it was some Pikes yesterday and LED bulbs today.

Currently waiting for:
- 29er Bontrager Mustang front wheel for £23 off eBay
- some cheap long-pull brake levers + hoods
- £13 of eBay's finest 160mm front disc and cable caliper package - I'm sure they'll be great 😆

These items will largely complete my bastardised Inbred CX 69er drop bar hipster bike, that's if any of it actually fits together of course.

I was expecting some more bits for the latest bike build, but what actually turned up were some very cheap troy lee shorts I bought off sports pursuit quite some time ago. They are whiter than Richard Hammond's teeth. I am going to cut quite the rug when I don these bad boys!

Yesterday I got a Magic Mary that won't inflate tubeless. And a Samsung S7 and then realised I got my contract end date wrong by two months which means I can't get a PAC code for another 4 weeks without incurring a hefty early cancellation charge. Balls.

Hopefully today I'll get some Ultegra QRs for the roadie so that my disc brakes don't kill me to death. And some blue 2 degree float SPD cleats to wreck my knees that much quicker.

Nothing because Edinburgh Cycles and Wiggle have both let me down with slow/non-existent dispatch 🙁

Fingers crossed that Amazon do deliver though as I am looking forward to receiving my new Fitbit Blaze.

Nothing, because even though I ticked the box on the DPD website to ask for it to be delivered to my neighbour (who is definitely in all day) I've just had an email saying they couldn't deliver it and are taking it to their nearest collection shop. Which for me is a 30 mile round trip. ****s.

A Netgear GS105E managed switch for me to use in pen-testing and a pair of leather gymnastic grips so that I can try and _not_ remove most of my hands when I do a lot of pull ups.

And some coffee.

Ordered pre price hike, I might add. Middleburn rings, I mean. Just seen the latest posts on the Bike Forum. Only ever bought my Middleburn bits from them, and won't be inclined to browse for anything else going forward.

A new set of grips straight from frog bikes FOC as Mini-me no.1 wrecked the first set, to be fair he rags the bike everywhere, so it was rather nice of them.
