Is that one of those puzzles where you have to move one bit of pole and it makes three triangles instead of two or something?

No, it's Sooty's wand.

and delivered me a new warrenty replacement frame. and it is so nice.

My coat finally arrived, looks and feels nice

Warm too, but guess any coat will feel warm today…

And more importantly, it fits well

Got a Zefal Z adventure bottle cage today, looks and feels nice. Reasonably priced too, should hold my Nalgene bottle on the frame well.

Alpkit Brukit. Not really very small, but will do nicely for family camping this weekend and when my son and I go bikepacking next month.

Mk4 Stooge F+F plus moto bars delivered by an off duty postman today to my work.

New disco slippers. Specialized Recon 1 in a dashing shade of burgundy. After 60 miles on flats on Sunday I've gone back to the dark side of SPDs. For non-bikepacking activities at least!

With a tyre that appears to weigh 200g than anticipated/claimed. Hopefully the extra grip will make up for it Going from a 750g tyre up back, so adding 500g rolling weight isn't really helping the heart!

Brake pads and Hutchinson Tundra's in 700x40 size. Tyres look like they'll come up big, and tread is decent. Bit of a last role of the gravel bike dice (possibly), to put mid size tyres in 700c that will be fit and forget, leave plenty of clearance for mud and mudguards, do well in most conditions off road, and fine on it, all year round.

I've always wanted a MK4

Some Garbaruk goodies via Travers. Replacement cage and wheels for the Scandal so I can fit my existing 50t cassette to it; even though it's the wrong colour. Should hopefully mean I get a few metres further up those Welsh hills in October. Plus a larger front ring for the RAG+, so I can go fasterer around these parts.

Sealant arrived. Thanks bob. Looks lovely

Oh... The GarbarUK too. Never knew Trav stocked it. Must have cost an arm and a leg. Hope they last you well Bob.

This month's supply of viagra, some new spd pedals and some fancy tubeless tyres for Mrs t.

This month's supply of viagra

Hope it's as effective as that Salsa

.....my first set of 'alt' bars - Salsa Bends, bought from Drnick of these parts. Very nice and from a quick spin around the block, they'll be staying on. For a while at least.

A 2013 Ragley bigwig frame for a very bargain price on eBay. It's going to be a replacement for a 26er inbred frame as my town bike, so I can use old spare 29er wheels and tyres which I have plenty of. Should build up to a nice utility 29er with the parts I have

Some new helmet padding and posh Assos arse cream. Hoping to lessen the discomfort of PBP slightly

Works, but take great care not to get any on your actual assos-ole because "comfort" is not the word you'll then be thinking of.... how do I know.....

two chains for my cargo bike. It's a Big Dummy so needs two as it's so long. Hoping they're the right ones!

Postie delivered a while ago but to office so during a non-WFH-day I picked up some Helaplast and elastosol for one of the packrafts.

Two part glues, what could possibly go wrong

Just waiting for patching material now ........................... tum-te-tum...................................

I managed OK but mixed up far too much...
The pressure is on once you've mixed as it goes off fairly quickly. I followed the packraft guide instructions, putting on a few layers then melting with a heat gun before putting the patch on. Worked for one patch and two backrest mounts.

A pair of Fortis 35s on Pro5 hubs + a Hope brakeset and a centrelock disc

Hopefully I have everything for the Stooge and my new Fixie build now.

... and brought a tarp


Some finessing required but the principle seems to bear out.
