New commuter/tourer for longer trips.

Kona rove AL - with an exposure revo front hub - and soon to be a b + m IQX front/toplight senseo rear + cycle 2 charge. WTB nanos 700x40c (with plenty clearance) and some PDW full metal fenders and my old trusty brooks on its carbon bonty post.

Waiting for a decent stainless front rack to come up for sale to match the rear and needs some bottle cages fitting.

Got my PHD Minimus Down Hat.
Could really do with a nice cold snap to test it out properly!
Excellent quality. Great service.

Thomson post, Thomson seat post collar, Hope rotor bolts x 12, Schwalbe folders x 2.

Sale stuff shipping aleady? Great news - When did you order?

Ordered Sunday evening, got it Friday morning.
Not bad really, when they were quoting Easter.

Isn't PHD £10 flat rate postage even on tiny items?

It cost £45.00, that was £44 for the hat and £1 for postage.
Whether that's for sale items only I do not know.

The postman seems to have delivered a VW T6 Campervan and then stolen all of my savings. feck it, can't take it with you.

Can't take a T6 campervan with you when you die either!

Anyway, all you've done is transfer from savings numbers into an asset that can be both used, and swapped back into savings - no different really. Asses to asset, just different sort

New Paramo jacket (Velez Adventure Smock - standard material one) to replace the 'light' one I was rapidly destroying. Credit due to Paramo no quibble on swapping the items and I sent them the jacket Thursday. New one arrived today! That's service.

Only one of these is an asset, the other is a liability

I've lost more money on my stocks and shares ISA than my RX-8 over this past year...! (petrol and oil aside)

Rumour has it, that these remap quite well

A charge spoon saddle and a pair of Altura progel bib shorts, both nearly half price bargains from Tredz

A Hope 30T retainer (NW) chain ring - might make some of the hills on the Braunton 150 next week a bit easier than the current 32T Various replacement brake pads.

A pair of WTB TrailBlazers - after waiting a month for some, I finally gave up and ordered some yesterday from CRC

Also, a pair of 2.1" cyclocross tyres

A Singular Gryphon frame and fork.
A SRAM X9 rear mech and shifter.
A Revelate Tangle frame bag.

Like buses.

40T expander ring from Superstar. Think I'll finally get around to taking off the dork disc. It's only been 3 years...

Lurgy scuppered my plan to ride the TCW last weekend but I consoled myself by tweaking my Swift with a newly arrived Krampus fork, Knard and Jones bars. I've also raised the bar to mimic the height I have on my Stooge. It's quite a transformation and I'm looking forward to giving it a proper test.

Scott Genius electric bike

Can't wait to test it with strava over the weekend, think they'll be a few upset people

Car park test was fun, very fun!

PHD zip-off minimus jacket. (Converts to a gilet)

It's lovely.
But a bit big...
(I'm spot on an "L" on paper, but it feels massive.) Hmm...

I find their sizes to be on the generous side too. I've a small down smock which is pretty baggy
