Hope road BB - was slightly perplexed to find spacers in with it.. am going to assume I don't need those unless the crankset bottoms out before play is eradicated.

after one and a half weeks I rang Rutland to find out what was going on with my short sleeved Baa Baa to be told "might be with us at the end of the week" I cancelled and asked for a refund, not to have not "in stock/on back" order on an item is not really on

Yes, Wiggle had an interesting definition of 'in stock' when it came to the chainring I need.

New frame arrived from Bob Jackson. It looks very nice and built exactly to my spec.

My son 'who doesn't wear cycling clothes' on his bike has asked for Levi commuter jeans and some cycling underwear for Christmas
It seems he's been riding 10km time trials at Uni and finding his arse a bit uncomfortable in chinos with a leg rolled up

Stage 2 will be to convert him to the idea of clipless pedals ....

I got some odd looks from Andover CTC folks when I entered their TT using my single-speed with Carradice Barley attached (you never know when you'll need those sandwiches on a 10 mile ride).

Sealskins HandleBar mittens AND some silk inners - determined to get my hands warm again!

4 schwalbe Marathon plus 32mm
2 Schwalbe marathom mondial 50mm
3 KMC X10'93 chains
1 Sram 12-36 Casette
2 KCNC jockey wheels.

So now I only need a few extra things and I think I will manage until june.

A red shiny Christmas present for Crusty.

My Carradice City Folder (aka a Bureau for the front of a Brommie) has arrived. It was a factory second (some screws very slightly misplaced) so cheaper on Ebay. Thanks Sue!

Shortly I shall attempt to transfer the frame from Rob’s C bag (which I have also borrowed, along with the Brommie) and see if the C bag will fit inside the more rigid Carradice so that I can take both home.

I’ve never really owned a bike that was suited to Carradice before (my bikes all have racks and I have never needed both panniers and saddlebags) but I like the look of this more than anything else that is available for Brommies. Shame my own Brommie won’t be with me until March!

A bunch of dry-bags from Alpkit (one of the few things I wanted from them that was actually in stock)

Looks like I'll be using Saturday's Christmas ride to see how the bike handles with 75% of my bikepacking kit strapped to it¹. Fluorescent yellow dry-bags .... should brighten the day somewhat.

¹ - it'd be 100% if I had my framebag, but I don't so it isn't.

A pair of 3/4 (or 3/4 of a pair) cycling wotsits. A seecrit Christmas present for me from Mrs. Hall.

Loads of other cycling stuff TAAW, as presents for misc. family members.

Two square taper BBs for crusty clunker resurrection. Am considering a foray into Hollowtech II.

GrahamG · « **Reply #2837 on:** 13 December, 2012, 02:59:17 pm »

Rotor 3d compact crankset just arrived. c.530g without BB & c/rings. Too pimp for the audax bike? Nahhh!

My SportsPursuit orders are starting to arrive, in the last 24 hours I have received:
2* Crank Brothers Multitools (Premium Pixl)
4* AirHole masks
40* Schwalbe 700C inner tubes (20* 18-28 and 20* 28-45). Might have over ordered on that one, anyone need spares? I got them at £3 each, so will sell them on at the same...

Karla · « **Reply #2839 on:** 13 December, 2012, 04:20:38 pm »

I'll chuck some in the car and bring them along on Saturday, if you can make it, I'll see you there, if not let me know how many you want and I will pass them on to another Yorkite to get them to you.

Karla · « **Reply #2841 on:** 13 December, 2012, 05:12:14 pm »

Okay, I'll let you know.

[Actually, how long are the valves?]

Some inner shorts and 2 Specialized The Captain Armadillo Elite tyres.

Not quite sure how it happened, but I seem to have put down the deposit on by far the nicest (& most expensive bike) I'll have ever owned. Should be here by late January ...
