A Charge Spoon saddle, a pair of Altura crochet mitts, a couple of narrow Bontrager inner tubes, and three spokes.
Actually, it is rocket science.

Some new pedals, as the retaining part on the float adjustment had dropped off, meaning I couldn't clip in on one side.  Plus a couple of new tyres and a set of mudguards.   :o

Not bought, but got given 4 buff-a-likes for me and the Cubs and Dearly_Beloved to shared between us.  But I might adopt them all :)

I do not need new wheels for the MTB…. I do not need new wheels for the MTB…. I do not need new wheels for the MTB…..

I never ride it (only once since Christmas) and thus, new wheels would be pointless. And I have my cars MOT coming up….

No, I do not need new wheels for the MTB…..

Yes, just ordered them. Well, they were half price…. Who needs a car???

Today, these inexpensive panniers arrived - they're a birthday present from my wife Claire so I'll have to wait a couple of weeks before I get my grubby hands on them.  Seeing as they were so cheap, I persuaded Claire also to get me the matching handlebar bag (all in red).

What jacket did you get, I am after a recumbent friendly one that keeps you dry even though there is a small lake on the tum.

The problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so sure of themselves, and wiser men so full of doubt.

Yee Ha!

Wiggle have just announced that my Oval Stem has been despatched.  It's quite a rare beast (not in their 2011 catalogue) suggested by Biggsy.

Well done to both!

Well, I actually got it yesterday.... but I now own one of these.

I find this slightly odd.

I've made a note in my diary to remember to do that - I won't get them until 25th.  By all means remind me if I forget.

Ordered a nice Livestrong top.

Thanks for the tip - I just bought a pair of Karrimor shoes and a Craghoppers fleece from M&M.

Today I also heard my new wheel with SA 3-speed hub has been despatched from SJSC.  At last after a lot of faffy fettling I should hopefully get my Pashley back on the road tomorrow.

I got my new Alpkit headtorch from the PO this morning.
It's not purely a cycling bit of kit but that's mostly when I'll be wearing it.
First impressions are favourable.
My previous, cheap Ebay headtorch came off worse during a coming together with a "not quite open" garage door.

A Hope hed doctor expander bung thingy, with a nice red top cap. It's very well made, but I have sent them an email suggesting that instructions would be a good idea  - there are plenty of people around who think the these devices hold something in place.

Spokes for HK's MTB front wheel, some pedals and a couple of meaningless but interesting things.
