On Thursday, a Trek Domane 4.5.

This morning, a Lowsaddle Longflap & an SQR block.

I've dusted off all those old bottles and set them up straight

Apparently, 100x caffeine tablets (which, according to the label are "sports nutrition"). Purchased via Amazon at 01:32 a couple of days ago, when I swear I was asleep. Also in my recently viewed items, from around at that time: the caffeinated version of the energy drink I already own, and in my browser history: the nutrition lists for both. On the plus side, sleep!Katie had enough common sense to check she was purchasing the correct dosage; however, she's also buying industrial quantities of caffeine again, and I thought she'd grown out of such behaviour…

A Tubus Duo front rack, a pair of Crosso 'rear' panniers in the correct colour (already got the 'fronts') and a Monz luggage trailer.

Soon we'll be ready for tourin' and haulin'.

Finally bought some shinier wheels for my Ribble. Fulcrum 5s, since you ask.

The Rodi Airlines that came with it have been alright, but it always felt a bit daft to have lightweight tyres on such (comparatively) heavy wheels. They'll be up for sale soon.

Just think, if I were ever to get thin, I could wear it on its own and still be club-kit-compliant!

Well that's the more blunt way of putting it but as usual he's dead right.

Some spiral decals for the disc wheel.  This is an attempt to win stuff by hypnotising fellow competitors into falling off their bikes.

Good choice, I got a pair with the Wilier in 2011 and they're still running absolutely true.

As the owner of a very similar jobbie (Mega Courier Pro) currently sitting in its constituent parts I'd be very interested to see the outcome of said roadie-fying.

I've just bought Campag Record 10s Ultrashift Ergo levers to replace the (newer shape Ultrashift) Centaur levers that'll be for sale as soon as I can fit these.

Not quite today, but last Saturday at Ripley cycle jumble, a black B17 Champion Special (big rivets, copper plate rails) in near new condition. Now fitted to the Hewitt.

£35.  :thumbsup:

Why thankyou  :D  I think you can get them in purple if you want too!

I'd have liked some nuclear or biohazard ones, but decided they didn't fit with the pirate decals on the sides of the seat/headtube.

A text from Her Majesty's Royal Mail tells me a pack of Haribo has arrived at home. Hopefully with Kool Stop Salmons too.

A SS chain.

All for the new project.

I did actually buy one once, when they were heavily discounted on Ebay...I sent it back though, because the fit was weird. :-\ I've got one of the Isobel ones, though.
