    Advent Calendars, associated in my mind with 25 (or 24 if it was a cheapskate calendar) very small mis-shapen chocolates of dubious taste, although I do remember Singletrack doing an advent calendar prize a few years back and giving away a selection of bike related goodies, albeit not to me.

    I had somehow missed that things had moved on until last year when my son put in an order for a toolkit advent calendar and this year my daughter has gone for a fashion and cosmetics version, which got me thinking as to what consisted of 25 or so parts that I could get into the house on the basis that “It’s just an advent calendar.”

    So

    1) spokes

    2) hubs

    3) pedals

    4) rims

    5) tyres

    6) saddle

    7) seatpost

    8) shifter(s)

    9) rear mech

    10) bars

    11) stem

    12) grips

    13) rear brake caliper

    14) front brake caliper

    15) brake hoses/cables

    16) bottom bracket

    17) gear cable(s)

    18) crankset

    20) cassette

    21) chain

    22) brake levers

    23) front mech

    24) brake rotors

    25) frame

    Now can I get it all in box I can fit under the tree, and still fit the tree in the front room?

    That is pure genius!

    I might trade out a front mech for a fork, but good idea 😉

    Daughters have bought me a gin one.

    I like the bike parts idea but have been trying hard to downsize.

    I have a spare fork, but accept that it may be essential for those building from scratch or seeking to market this new niche product.
