I'm going to have to look that up.

....and bought me a nice pair of bibs off ctznsmith. Cheers buddy

This week the postman has mainly been bringing me an etrex 30x and bracket from Germany and a the last few bits for a road bike (!) build. Now finished and ridden in Cumbria this week.

Next week he will be bringing me some pdw mudguards to put on the road bike...

Coming 'home' from working away it's like Christmas!

New Giro gloves, Exposure Redeye, reflective patches from House of Astbury and reflective tape off ebay. Also not in shot some female connectors that fit the Exposure stuff.


Better, cheaper and should last longer than some stupid paint!

Yer lights not working.

Two birthday presents that go well together ;-)

You are sadly correct!

It appears there is no output from my Revo.

Yodels just been with my north face blue kazoo.

Normally i avoid tnf kit but this was a used deal on a down bag i badly wanted/needed as my synthetic 3 season snugpack is bulky and heavy.

Picked up the as new blue kazoo for 125 quid and it fits like a glove- many light weight bags i find too short and restrictive at 6ft 3.

An its half the weight and size of the snugpak. Now ti work on a "system" to give me 4 seasons use out of it....

Fwiw footflaps on stw is selling an me dewline 300 minimalist bag that would have been mine bar the fact its a regular so tight for a 6fter even.

That's a nice bag for winter use in the UK,well priced for its warmth to weight. Luck myself for buying the synthetic version of it over this

Little size comparison there .

Also your not simon that rides with the godiva trail riders are you ?

That's a sizable difference in bags

Afraid not, must be my doppelganger I'm Cheshire based

Gorilla cages for Dan and a new after burner stove for me. Oh yeah.

Bought these on a whim.
I have no idea how useful they will be.

Are they for mounting a front derailleur clamped by BB?

Eventually managed to track myself down a copy of this, which was duly delivered by Gwyn the post today ... lovely condition considering it's over 70 years old

The name struck a bell (sorry) as I remembered it from somewhere. Turns out he was the first person to do all the Munros - Sir Hugh never managed them all - by rights they should be called Robertsons.

Perfect condition, going to go on my Frankencross when I fit "normal" bars back on to it.

Various objects which I will have to pretend are a surprise on my birthday but that my wife got me to order... Nothing like taking control to ensure that its right...

Nice, means mine should be arriving soon.

Bearing Puller by Chris Reeves, on Flickr

After years of using various punches, sockets, bits of threaded bar, vices, hammers etc. I've now got a proper bearing puller set!

Loops from Ton for the Cooker, H Bars for the Moonie from Gari and an MWOD chainring with complimentary Salsa Bikepacking book from CTBM. Rather pleased I didn't pay for the book (although the chainring wasn't exactly a bargain... ).
