This be my (well the kids which will go from the 14YO to 9YO daughter to 5YO who currently has the Isla) gorgeous beauty. Not sure how long the x5 would last though and hopefully i might be able to fit on it for shorter rides too. Its a S though so doubt it even with the spare 29er wheels its coming with
Proper excited...

Re: The post man's been ...
I've been waiting for a parcel for ages, and one arrived this morning containing some Avid disc brake calipers. Unfortunately my order was for an 8 speed shifter, and it was for a bike with V Brakes.

Sweet! Makes me want to get another fat bike. Must resist...

Don’t like Planet X as a rule, they’ve messed up all my three orders in the past and were slow to respond. Never again!
Fast forward a good few years and in a moment of weakness, I tried them this week for inner tubes (and added in some rather colourful arm warmers)
All turned up, all correct and in good time too considering what’s going on in the world.

You know what it's like with bars ... after much deliberation, a pair of stainless US spec BSA B44 bars turned up. Right nice and bendy they are.

Maxxis minon dhf 2.3 to replace a 2.5 .
And a ss chain
The 2.5 felt very slow on a 35mm rim not sure if the 2.3 will be any different

....with a pair of WTB Rangers, light version. At £30 a pop thats almost cheap for a plus tyre. They do feel quite thin but weigh the same as the chupas with which I've never had any sidewall probs. At that price I figured its got to be worth a punt....

Re: The post man's been ...
Finally got my axle adapters from Hunt today after they'd initially told me I needed the wrong ones. Now just waiting for some new mudguard stays from SJS and my ti Camino should be ready for a test run.

The stem cell bag arrived thanks Stu... Nice surprise for the little one that 'hot dangle mug lips protector'... Daughter loves it and she's whacked it on her tea mug
Re: The post man's been ...
My mudguard stays arrived so I can refit the Bluemels that were on my alu Camino onto my ti frame (the mounting points are different so I needed new/longer stays). Also another Tour de Yorkshire jersey from Milltag. I can't remember who linked these on the Bargain Alert thread ages ago (thank you) but I bought one then and liked it so much I've got another. There's only limited sizes left but they're nice full zip short sleeved roady jerseys for £13.95!
Re: The post man's been ...
Another Thermarest arrived today. R value of 6.8 and very comfy... weights 1.9kg though!
It's a Thermarest Luxury Map, planning to use it for kipping in the back of the van or any other car based camping

A big cardboard box containing a big tin box, that being an old Camping Gaz De Luxe Super Bleuet from Stu. Thanks mate, she's a beauty! The seal is fine. Can't wait to spark her up.

A set of T handle AF allen keys to replace the AF allen keys that I can't find anywhere. They look alright, they've got orange handles.
Glad it turned up okay Tim.
