Enough spokes to build two wheels and some Rohloff oil., not exactly an Ann Summers delivery but probably more useful.

"not exactly Ann Summers" - oh I dunno, I heard that Rohloff oil is pretty versatile stuff...

Sort of on the Ann Summers theme ....

Underpants!

When fitting the saddle that arrived the other day to the fat bike I noticed that one of the clamps on the seat post (Hope Eternity) was broken. Hmm, I'll ring Hope.

"I've an Eternity seat post and one of the clamps that holds the saddle is broken. Do you have any spares?"

"You mean the underpants? It's what's we call them."

"Ah, yes, they look like Y-fronts."

"Hang on, I'll check." ... "Yes, got some of those. Let me have your address and I'll send one out."

I guess if you call your seat post an "eternity" you have to provide spares.... :lol:

Not so much the postman but yodel brought a new pair of tyres for the road/adventure bike.
Vitoria from Planet X.
Only ordered them Fri lunchtime so I'm very impressed with the delivery times!

No photos as they are black and round etc.

Cheers Rob

Wasn’t it called that because of the time taken to bring it to market? Years and years...

...And delivered a lovely and snug sea to summit women's down bag at half price thanks to the bargain alert thread.

It's an early 50th birthday and christmas pressie from my fab wife, and I'm allowed to use it before the big day! :-bd

...and dropped off a Kestrel (thanks RG)...and the returned bibs that I sent back to Sports Pursuit. They've rebagged the same offending item and sent it back. Crazy kids. The loveliness of the Kestrel overshadowed the SP ballsup...so it wasn't so bad.

Scarpa HS12 cream - my boots got a battering in the alps so this cream is well needed!

Otterbox defender - need some proper protection for my new iphone, especially as my kids use it for geocaching and they're clumsy!
