The post man's been ...

[whitestone]

A drill stand, some collets and some drill bits for a Dremel drill. Might be able to use the Xmas pressie from five years ago now

[johnnystorm]

I thought they'd just pass my details onto Raleigh who'd post something crappy from the UK. Perhaps they thought if we don't do any pr then who will in Britain!

Probably not far off the truth...

Aye, it's a sorry state of affairs.

[whitestone]

A box from somewhere in Wales

[benp1]

Woo hoo - some basic black pogies

I commuted home last night via some openish, greenish spaces (like Hampstead Heath in North London). It was a really nice pootle but it was seriously cold and pretty foggy. I actually had to stop and warm my hands part way through. Only problem is that was on my Arkose though so it had drop bars

One of those iHarbort batteries johnnystorm recommended for buffering/ charging stuff off the Dynamo when on the move.

Got some soldering to do now to make up a cable to connect it to the feed from the hub...

[Nevis]

Ktm saddle pack. Super quick delivery from some where in Europe. About £35 all in.


And some scuff guards for my roller skates

[RobMac]

New XT chainset, triple (mmm very retro)

[FLV]

hubs, rims, spokes, cable brakes, cassette and chain, 38C tubless tyres

Frame and fork.

First impressions of the KTM pack ? I'm toying with the idea of using one with my AK airlok tapered

[Nevis]

Initial impressions are quite good. Build and materials kind of reminds me of altura bags.

It's not lightweight @ 460g.

There's no rear light loop which would be handy.

I have an airlok taper too so I'll give that a go.

May try a get a photo of it fitted.

A pair of Lucifer socks and a Beanie from Ground Effect in NZ

[ianfitz]

i had a Wildcat custom framebag in the post today

[Fat tyre kicker]

Surly extra-terrestrial tyres, a Paramo waterproof smock and another A/c cage with a Salsa dry bag

[FLV]

hubs, rims, spokes, cable brakes, cassette and chain, 38C tubless tyres

Frame and fork.

Here is the result of the many parts from the postie.

I've tried cross bikes before, a surly straggler (weighed more that my mountain bike) surly cross check (more of a tourish type bike really)

I'm giving it one last go (road riding once helped me to get reasonably fit after all).

This thing should work well on the roads and easy tracks.

[Ian]

A small assortment of cables and a Cycle2charge.

Also a pair of Japanthers to replace my porous Shimano MW80 boots

[Dan_K]

External battery pack, HH lifa short sleeve base layer (I seem to have 8,000,000 long sleeved ones...) and some Tenn zip off waterproof trousers. Expect a dry heatwave now folks!

[Scattamah]

A bunch of sale stuff from PlanetX...crab claw and summer gloves, some Lizard Skin lined overshoes and a long sleeve jersey with Reg Mombassa art on it. I have a feeling the crab claws may not get a run until next year given the winter has been uber mild. Everything else will get used in short order.

Patagonia Nano Hoody - black. Revelate Jerry can - bent.

[Bearbonesnorm]

Some Vee tyre 29" 'Rails' ... look a little like a Race King but with a more defined edge block. Not heavy, set up tubeless okay and £7.99 each.

[Ian]

A pair of Endura MT500 waterproof shorts - sufficiently cheaper than Gore Alp-X shorts to be worth a pop.

fab new framebag

[Mrhoppy]

A wildcat lion and an osprey escapist 25. And quite excitingly the electronic postman sent an email saying my borah bivvy bag is in transit too.

[Taylor]

Cumulus quilt 150 from Slovakia arrived today.

[jam bo]

Mountain hardwear scrambler waterproof rucksack turned up from sportpursuit.

Looks pretty good and feels comfy. Quality looks good too although it certainly seems a lot greyer than the black photos on the website.

[jay91]

Alpkit bomber bars
