On getting back home t’night my postie had left a cd and heavyweight vinyl of Tunng – Turbines inside the door for me, along with an Aeropress coffee maker for my bro’s birthday on monday – tiz’ been a good night having a few malts and listening to Tunng and occasional forays in the new Boards Of Canada – Tomorrows Harvest album whilst speccing up a few nice touring build possibilities for a customer.

Might just sink back in the chair now wi the headphones, nice malt whisky and Tunng.

Some shiny 105 bits for a new project…

Hopefully I will finally have some nice wheels in the post tomorrow!!!!

I got a 2.5 minion dual ply this morning in preparation for my Alps trip! cannot wait!!

This…

… and these…

Excited 🙂

Also got a couple of holiday books. Racing Hard by William Fotheringham and Nicolas Roche’s bio.

No wheels for me yet 🙁

I asked the council for more bike parking. Today one has arrived right outside my shop front door.
No more parking outside Smiths for me.

A 10speed XT shifter, some gear cable and a BB spacer. Hopefully tomorrow will bring a box from Germany containing a cassette, clutch mech and chain to complete the 1×10 transformation of my Soul.

Finger crossed!

mrblobby, what wheels are those?

Some Nukeproof 800 mm bars

Yes they’re in a box
Yes I’m on my motorbike
Yes I’m going to carry them home (somehow)

Exposure Joystick 7
Exposure Maxx-D 5.

No solstice down here near Stonehenge. It’ll be too bright.

The wrong forks – colour was right – but I asked for 150mm for a 26″ bike, not 140 on a 29-er.

No response from On-One yet – and no answer on the phones. 🙁

4 x 6001 FAG bearings (for a hope hub), £18 off an ebay seller (not katec) which I purchased yesterday, nice

These with a bit of luck.
Best part of £200’s worth of treaders for £15 on eBay 🙂

Some light-bike wide carbon 29er rims .

mrblobby, what wheels are those?

The planet x 50/50 tubular ones. On offer right now, very nice they are too. 1474g for the pair on my kitchen scales.

A pair of Hope Hoops and a set of XT 10 speed shifters for my 29er build 😀

An Ultegra di2 groupset and Ultegra carbon pedals for my midlife crisis chariot.

A 27.2 – 29.6 Shim for the old Orange Clockwork my mate gave me last week when I told him about the Kona Unit i bought that was bent and had to send back. And an OS map for Ft Bill area.

Bottle Cage, Pump and spare tubes for my road bike, pity the bike has vanished into the shops stock system and hasn’t shown up yet.

A tubular and some glue…

Am slightly concerned by the “Caution Danger to Life!” cover on the glue pot 😯

Big box of DSP shock in 200 X 50 and 200 X 57, but no 190 X 50 ones which is what I need for the new bike (with a bit of shortening and tweaking 😥 due later this month though 😀

Another bill from BT addressed to someone we’ve never heard of, despite a number of assurances that it wouldn’t happen again.

A china carbon disc cross frame.

Brought me the very last thing I need to complete, or more accurately start, my new build! Many thanks to Coblck – suppose I’d better retire to the back room and make a start 🙁

It’s BT what did you expect but don’t worry our glorious PM has made the CEO a minister.

Shorter stem (70mm from 100mm) and Salsa fliplock to finetune my position – and a vulpine.cc merino t-shirt.

What I REALLY needed though, was the ability to change my disc pads proficiently. Now I have just a front brake for tomorrow’s solstice night ride 🙁

Bitchin’ 8)

A new Bosch washing machine and a Bimmer 🙂

One of these bad boys.

Shiny clutch mech & chain 🙂 for my broken bike 🙁
