nice one Al.. You finally got it then.. any pics?

nobby nic 29ers and some rocket ron 29ers for more whizzy duties. At last lovely rubber for big hoops.

Other than that I’m reducing the bike collection again 😥

rather too much to list here. 😳

Er, I’m in the process of turning my old fixie into a SS cross bike (yes, I know – nichecore to the max).

I’ve recently bought:

*FSA Vero drop bars
*Stem – cheaop from Decathlon
*Tyres – 2 x pairs (Schwalbe CX Pro + cheap Smallblock 8s)
*SS chainring in 40t and 130bcd fitting – thanks SJS Cycles!
*quill to ahead stem adaptor (Spa Cycles – useful for such trinkets)

Not exactly glamorous, I know, but still a good hundred quid’s worth….

Aye now that i’m finally back on the mountain bike. Aye got a couple of shots but being a computer illiterate technophobic buffoon i don’t know how to post them!

Well since STW forum bivvy ride Dec 4th / 5th from Machynlleth. I have suffered serious ‘gear envy’.

Not something I’m too bad with normally but after gaffer tapeing a bit of foam mat onto my Karrimat I went and bought one of these :

And since I got the ‘p’ taken out of me for having 2nd hand jacket that leaked. I treated myself to one of these.

wee-al’s new bike

Finally gave in and bought the new DH bike for the 2011 race season, unfortunately my old forks dont fit (steerer too short and need a drop crown) so im going to be force to buy:-

These

Not bought anything for ages, bike related…………. 🙁

Last significant purchase was a SpokeShirts light in late September & bought a new KMC chain a few weeks ago, but not got round to cleaning off the storage grease & fitting it yet……

Bought this after nearly turning for home on Tuesday’s ride. I never needed one in the UK. I do here, and the winter proper isn’t even here yet 🙁
