What did the postman bring you today?

dhb bib shorts and a Castelli short sleeve jersey. Optimistic purchase earlier in the week thinking the weekend will be warm enough to wear it.

KMC X10L chain from Wiggle….wrapped in some German catalogue pages? They appeared to come from the outdoors/bike section tho!

Only 280g for £20…my SLX chain was 370g for £18

Went to a couple of shops myself, got gels & bars from one and a new set of nice light (100g) Pro lock-ons and some Parktools self adhesive tube patches – which they threw in for nowt – incase I need to put a tube in tomorrow on the Dyfi and there’s thorns or summit in my tyres

Got a gusset lil chap chain device.

First impressions of it is ok, will fit to bike and see how it goes.mostly all metal which is good

Going to write a review on the bike monger website, find it odd after spending 30 quid on it there are no reviews on it.

Today he brought me Aerojacket wheel covers from the US…

… a poor mans TT back wheel 🙂

Nothing today, but I’m waiting.. waiting….

Postman has just arrived with an armful of packets!

Genuine fake TLD shorts bought as a punt as i wanted something like fox huck shorts in a non stretchy material, red and not over £60 – Only thing that seemed to fit the bill and very impressed

Oury grips from On one for £13 and and a cheap shock pump to replace the last one that went bang, KA Tec bearings with some free DU bush’s, at least thats what i presume they are!

And two lengths of XTR cable from CRC to finish the road bike build! Ages since ive had such a dump in one go!

Noodles!

Some new roadie kit for my Green Machine look!

Aye,yir a brave man tommy,so yi are. 🙂

Complete 10 speed set up for my 96 Zaskar, don’t often get bits sent to work but the home deliveries are getting a bit frequent…

today m675 brake caliper turned up from germany 2 days 😀
see m665/m675 mix thread.
yesterday: nice cnc jockey wheels tomorrow mech hanger (with luck) no photos no flkr etc no idea but you know what they are. expensive week (for me) all approved by the boss!!

The first bits for a new build, which is always nice 🙂 Kinesis FF29 frame in sick green and some Hope X2 Race brakes with floating rotors.

Ordered from Winstanleys yesterday morning and arrived in Aberdeenshire at lunchtime today.

Unfortunately the box also contained an FSA headset, a fancy FSA K-force carbon seatpost and some Merckx EMX-5 carbon (road) forks. So I guess that will be another trip to the Post Office to send them back.

Anyway, time to start a new bike thread I guess.

Nothing today, but yesterday he arrived with a shiny new Cnoc 14 in bright green for my eldest. Fantastic little bike and about 3 weeks earlier than I was expecting.

Last week he brought a Rothan also in green for the youngest. Exciting times! If only the weather would improve….

20 pairs of Bolle safety glasses- should take me a while to lose all of those!

There sure is a lot of green on this thread 🙂

Happy donkey time!

My nice eBay bargain:

Berghaus Faroe windstopper soft shell. Brand new, £24 🙂

Not expecting them to bring anything, but the sun’s out and I’m having to wait in for the courier to come and pick up a frame – bet he doesn’t turn up until gone five too!

My (used, but new to me) Orange Gyro turned up!

Thanks to the guy above posting coffee too, you reminded me to order mine!

That is properly lovely.

Arrived this morning. Having spent £1000’s over the last year or so building/restoring/upgrading four bikes, I decided it was time to stop. I lasted all of 7 weeks and 4 days then I saw this….

I was essential that I purchase it as it very nearly matches my Crank Brothers Cobalt champagne wheelset. Yeah I know, sad 🙁

is that chap wearing a corset?

Nope just my manly (and twisted) frame 😳 😉

Nowt to do with bicycles.
A hand-shower / Muslim shower / hand-bidet thing, for washing one’s undercarriage instead of using loo paper.
