What the hell can i get for christmas, what are you getting?

Wife and family are asking for my list but all i can think of is an RRP Neoprene mudguard.

I don't need anything for the bikes or indeed for anything else so i need some serious inspiration.

ta

Well i need loads of stuff so if you ask for it i'll have it

World Peace? Leatherman? Some original art?

At least a 12 hour shift.

I know how you feel swisstony. Keep getting asked and there's nothing I want.

More time to ride yer bike

Thats all I want

Ask that they donate money to charity instead there are all sorts of charity schemes for this that you can have something specific done in your name – toilets and wells – that sort of thing

I've asked for riding socks, riding gloves, wire on DVD and some after shave – to be honest I'll be happiest with the socks!! 😮

stonemonkey, what do you want then

leatherman's a good idea will look at those

I don't do too badly for ride time

money towards a new tattoo

My mum's got me a 700mm flat bar. I keep hinting to my wife that I want a cross bike. She keeps telling me to bugger off.

My mum has just re-newed my Subscription.

socks, another light( for the head), new WATERPROOF jacket, and some 3/4 bib tights, new stem current ones 10 yrs old and second hand when i got it and a ray mears knife blade and how to build your own antler knife book.

Really dont NEED anything apart from the socks

TJ, that's a good idea, i've others those gifts in the past

Bushwacked, good call on the Wire

Interesting Barry, it's always been in the back of my mind to get another tattoo though i think i'm a bit old now.

We're just buying for the children this year and at a £5 limit.
Everyone's happy with that.

you're never too old mate…

£10 limit for us. I love it, no more expensive tat that I'll never use and the presents I get are usually booze or food…

Stuff all that – Got my stuff on the way already!!!!!!!!!!!
XBox Elite, Forza, Lego Batman etc and a new Camelbak Mule NV

I don't even need any socks!

The limit sounds good but my wife would never agree, she had no problem in writing her 2 page list!

Well I'll be getting bladdered for xmas. 😀

As we don't have kids we are doing i present with a limit of about £10 which i find makes it more fun and difficult to choose, I'll prob go for an inner tube and repair kit and yes i know thats two 🙄

i'm not planning on doing christmas this year.

FFS it's only f***ing November!!!! Give it up with the Christmas sh!T, at least for another 3 weeks, please

Is this for real? I haven't asked for anything for Christmas since I was about 16, let alone made a list

although….

A road bike and associated bits like a pooter and some pedals

How sad is this – my Xmas present (to myself/from my wife – all the same) is a Dyson ball vacuum!!

I have a penchant for vacuuming don't you know!!!

DrP

My Mum's getting me a Henry!

I'm asking for a life. Touch wood it's on it's way. On a more mercenary level I'd like the following:-

A new laptop with a broadband GPS dongle.
A Colnago Cross Prestige – my god what a beautiful bike!! It'd get it.
A fanny magnet
A hurrendously expensive pair of cycling shoes. I have a number of pairs of cheap shoes which are great but I just want to say F you to cycling shoe snobs.
The charisma of Paul Newman.

going on a couple of skiing trips at the start of next year and i need a new helmet so asked for one of those! Nothing else i want or need really!

The budget idea is the best way of doing it really!

on one inbred sliding dropout for a little rigid singlespeed project I'm then getting banned from here as you have all ruined me and taken me to a place I thought I'd never be—-nicheville 😆

I've asked for a dirt worker

A pleasant flight

Le Creuset Casserole…… And I'm a 40something bloke 😳

Freddyg – I'd love one of those too.

One of those driving experience days. In a rally car or something.

The mind & times of Reg Mombassa

Subscription to National Geographic (what my parents get for me every year), its a good read, very informative with very nice photos.

£10 limit in our house too, 'cos I spent all the Xmas money on a 456Ti frame!

Was hopeing for the GoPro HD But cant wait for that long so pre-ordered
already, but have settled for a Gravity Dropping seat post instead 🙂

An SLR and some guitar effects pedals would be nice, but to be honest just the feeling of being happy is good enough for me
