Sadly my LBS doesn't sell the lights I want, and certainly not at 60% off... I am a fully paid up member and go there for pretty much anything they do sell.

I'm ill at home today and can't move more than five paces away from a toilet.

However, my mouse hand is fully operational:

So far I've bought a spoke ruler, some rack stays and a SnapOn 15mm spanner via the interweb.

Daytime TV would be cheaper than this damn PC.

Unplug the mouse and throw it 6 paces away from the toilet.

Edge 705 and PowerTap SL Plus wheel.

Might prompt me to get off my arse and use it (when it arrives...).

2 puncture repair kits from poundland.

Spent about 10 seconds stood there looking at them trying to work out how much they were...... $:-\$

Not today despite going into a new bike shop in Audlem doing most things from allthebells&whistles bling to things with wicker baskets on the front.Absence of wallet/credit cards/cheque book was a good thing

Just a new chainring for the Kaffenback. I got the 15% discount on Wiggle, but whoopy do, I get 12% anyway as a Platinum customer, so it saved me 60p extra!

A tyre. Michelin Kyrilliion Carbon. in grey and 25mm.

This will replace the rubberless thingy on the back of the winter bike.

New cheap bottom bracket for Mrs B's MTB. A BB tool because I can't remember who I lent the other one to.

Parker International had very good deals on both. Some cable end caps to put the price over £20 & qualify for free postage, & because I need some & it's never worth buying 'em on their own.

Bright (back) light. Together with semi bright front light.

New gloves*, as my old full-fingered gloves** are full-fingered no longer and my winter gloves*** are too warm now that spring seems to be peeping round the corner.

* - BG Equinox 2
** - BG Equinox
*** - BG Radiant

Took delivery today of patches and tyre levers as I've got through too many of both this year.
Also a new stem and tape to go with the new bars which are still to come.

Moloko · « **Reply #89 on:** 12 March, 2010, 07:09:20 pm »

Silk glove liners.

*sigh* Ahhhh, glove.

citoyen · « **Reply #90 on:** 12 March, 2010, 08:58:32 pm »

Ordered a shiny silver double fixed hub from On-One (£15) and a Rigida Sputnik rim from Parker (£17). Good price for the makings of a nice wheel.

Just about to go out with newly-14-year-old-skinny-grump-with-his-jeans-hanging-off to buy a new park/street BMX bike.

A snip at only £499.99.

He won't be grumpy then, though. And you have to support a chosen sporting-type activity, don't you? It's even sort of like cycling... And we get away from pointless ~~fettling~~ destruction directed by mates.

1 x Carradice Bagman Quick Release Sport Saddle Bag Support
1 x Craft Cool Mesh Superlight Sleeveless Base Layer Small White
1 x Topeak Aero Wedge Clip On Large Saddle Bag -

The plastic clip on my topeak bag snapped off recently, it had probably become brittle due to the cold over the winter

Park Tool TL-5 tyre levers. They must weigh almost a pound a piece.

Marathon pluses, you're my wife now.

Now the sun is coming out I've just bought a new pair of shorts

A load of Rapha kit. Now I'm broke.

Glorious yesterday but raining today and over the weekend. Everybody, blame Jord.

I bought some rims from SJS earlier in the week and somehow failed to get them delivered to work.

So I'll have to trek to the parcel place tomorrow instead of doing the canal ride I'd organised.

Idiot. $:-\$

I treat myself to some new shoes from the LBS this afternoon and then spent an hour in the sunshine sticking Solas tape to them. I'm not a bling kind of person - I think - but do like shiny shoes.

jogler · « **Reply #99 on:** 19 March, 2010, 07:24:40 pm »

Another one of those Abus "cafe" combination locks.
