Blast! 2-1 to you now. Unbelievable .

And brought something rather sculpture looking (I hope) from the nice folks at CRC...

...and brought 22000 smiles

... and brought 2 new tyres.
Schwalbe Magic Mary Super and Big Betty, both in 29 x 2.4", Super Trail and Addix Soft.

250 g heavier per tyre (compared to the former Magic Mary or Hans Dampf in Snakeskin version) but by the feel of the sidewalls, they should offer more protection against pinch flats.
Despite them being heavier, I'm convinced they'll offer more performance.

A lovely Specialized Phenom saddle all the way from the Isle of Wight!

a complete set of new thermal underwear. from military 1st.
and a complete new 9 speed set up for my tourer, from Spa cycles.

What did you get Tony (the groupset, not interested in your undies ....) Spa Cycles like SJS Cycles often seem to have stuff you just cannot find elsewhere. Their wheel building is top notch too.

a deore mech, alivio 12/36 cassette, taya chain, sunrace thumbies, spa chainset.

and some new wheels on order too.

Nice. You won't be disappointed in the wheels. I've had two sets off them over the years, both 700c touring builds, and they were absolutely bomb proof.

An extremely bright fleecy buff on account of being the fastest recogniser of Dylan lyrics on the forum, which is an achievement I will surely never top. Thanks Stu

.. and delivered a lovely pair of carbon forks kindly given to me by Piemonster

Job for the weekend

And dropped of a Brooks C13 saddle. The bottom drawing for the new frameset continues:)

Postie delivered a book addressed to a Mr P Monster, ta very much RIP

Shall settle in and start reading, we’ll, if the dog stops savaging the empty Vimto bottle, too much racket to concentrate.

Good stuff. See how many Boners we can send it round!

Quite impressed that your dog has a taste for Vimto.

I've been after a pair of these pedals for an age. The dirt cheap, knackered, plastic ones I bought fifteen odd years ago, can finally go in the bin.



They also brought some Merrell Trail Glove 5 Eco, but they're not wide enough, so are going back.

A few things arrived over the days (DA rear caliper, 83g stem, etc) but the one causing the most excitement was the Ritchey WCS headset. Got a tapered 1 1/8 to 1 1/4 so it only the top end that fits. Saved about 3g but more importantly, everything is now sat flush and neat.

For some reason whenever I meet Ritchey WCS components it really makes the day. Might be how smooth and comfortable I've found their/his stuff in the past... Dunno, anyway, its nice

...and delivered another 1.5kg of coffee. That's about a month's worth ATM

Also thought I was getting a another delivery. Got a knock on the door and there was a delivery driver standing outside. Look down and there's a bunch of Greggs bags on the doorstep. Has some kind stranger ordered me surprise pastry? No, for next door

A tent.
A Scarp 1.
My Scarp 1.
(Piemonster had borrowed it for evaluation purposes).

Might need to find a reason to use it now

a complete 10 speed set up for my other bike.

12 speed no more, thank feck. new technology is not always a good thing.

...and brought a skeg for my packraft to replace the one I left at the bottom of the river, somewhere near Rosthwaite I'll use the hole for the safety cord on this one.

To justify the cost of shipping from the Netherlands, I bought a pair of lightweight pogies as well

A wooden pizza peel. Pizza night courtesy of the new oven tonight

Think of a flat spade for transferring pizza to and from an oven.

Or a great big spanky thing for a sex dungeon

It’s a multi-use device
