Apropo of this: https://yacf.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=105866.0

I'm not after your wish list of Rapha fanboi jackets and carbon fibre n+1, more what are some nice cycling stuffs that don't cost a month's wages, like the aircraft grade tyre levers, you know?

I'm just interested to know what cool stuff is out there these days

I really like my Multi Use Tote from Randi Jo Fabrications (USA)
https://www.randijofab.com/collections/bags/products/m-u-t-multi-use-tote

It sits somewhere between Alpkit utilitarian and Caradice agricultural, with the bonus of just being a nice bit of craft.

An envelope containing a cheque of sufficient value for me to be able to take a few years off and just go cycling wherever the fancy takes me.

a bike or recumbent that is truly air portable, so as well as running north of the artic circle this week I could have ridden north of the arctic circle, for example.

I also need a couple of new jerseys, having picked one up the other day to think its getting towards a collection of holes connected by orange threads

A new set of ankles.

ETA Oh, and one of these. I can lean the bike against it when I'm not using it.

These are good for Xmas presents .......

I've got exactly that one. I've never put it up though as we don't hang keys up.
I assume that's what it's for. I can't think what else you could hang on it.

3-4 days off to go cycle-touring/camping

A quality wheel building stand to replace the existing crappy but functional one that I make do with.

David has a long-handled shoe horn hung on a key hook elsewhere.

We haz several sheds which are locked on account of containing Expensive Stuffs and try to keep keys hung up.

I would hang a torch or tools if I had spare hooks

Ignoring the expensive things, my sister has bought me some cheap mitts the last couple years. They are actually perfectly good and very useful

Spa cycles do these... https://www.spacycles.co.uk/smsimg/17/595-1672-list-nbtinst1-17.jpg Mighty useful.

Seriously?

A couple of gear cable end caps would do me nicely just now.

BikeRadar , on Facebook and presumably elsewhere, are advertising some cycling related objets d'art ......

'Check out the stunning collection of artwork by the Official Artist of the Tour de Yorkshire, Lucy Pittaway.' as they put it.

What I would really like would be a 1-year voucher for a bike-cleaning service.

Snakehips · « **Reply #20 on:** 28 November, 2017, 02:05:15 pm »

.... or there's this

..... an NSFW cycling jersey!
