I suspect it will in fact clash dreadfully. This perturbs me not at all

I suspect that my excellent colour vision will tell me that you'll look like the bees knees

10 metres of auto electrical cable, so that I can re-build the wiring loom of the Orange Bling.

I leave the colour of said wire as a puzzle for the reader.

After the pedestrian muppetry of the riverside path I use on my way home from work, I may fit a 12V Car Horn. After all, I've got a push-button switch waiting to be wired in, and a 12V battery. And a horn waiting in the cupboard. Just got to be a bit careful with Earth - when the lights are on, the frame is at 6V! (Or, to be more accurate, the battery is at +/- 6V with respect to the frame.)

Yesterday I ordered a CL to 6bolt disc brake adaptor, it arrived this morning, Koo-bikes rock!

Today I has ordered some 35mm ID P-Clips and some M5 A4 SS Nylock nuts.

Ordered a pair of BBB GelLite mitts, having tried 'em on at the bike show (there was a BBB stand) & found them extremely comfortable. £13.84 incl P&P, which is almost a tenner less than the RRP.

Today I took advantage of the following: a) On-One are having a sale, and b) their merino base layers come in fat-bastard sizes. Also got a pair of slicks for the Surly (Schwalbe Big Apples in 26x2.0) and a new 'cafe lock' (the Kryptonite Modulus thing they're doing for a tenner)

I may be skint this winter, but at least I'll be warm

Some Shimano brake levers, for my son's retro road bike. I now have new brakes, cables, levers and bar tape so I'm going to actually have to fettle his bike for him!

Some 70mm M6 stainless bolts, with associated washers.

With luck, I'm a couple of nylocks away from banishing the seat squeaks for good!

Kool Stop salmon pads, for my American Classic wheels

A bottle cage & aliminium bottle from Poundland!

Had a few minutes spare and was passing Hargroves in Swindon.

Came out with a Lezyne Pen Gauge (connecting hose from pump to tyre valve with built-in pressure gauge), on sale at £15.

Don't actually need one but definitely want one. Also a couple of squids below best Internet price.

These.

A spare parts kit for my Crud Road Racers. I snapped off part of the rear last night when I lifted the bike over a gate.

Various shorts, ¾ longs, longs, and some odds and sods like Energy Gels to get the price of the orders to £100 and into Wiggles £10 off if you spend £100 offer range. I was planning on buying all this anyway, so it was just a matter of arranging the amounts optimally.

Nope that's not a laser beam, I actually do have a Laser Beam of Deth (ok, a Class 3R Laser) on my bike. You'll probably see it later on.

The Exposure Maxx-D is a fairly serious front light though, it'll beat my Race Maxx hands down.

Some goretex lined shoes (Shimano MT60). Hopefully this is the end of soggy feet

Wendy · « **Reply #1423 on:** 14 October, 2011, 04:45:47 pm »

Very good Butterfly, now that's a proper light!!!

I just bought some 406 inner tubes and a bunch of neodymium magnets. I got 50, anyone want some for some tiny and lightweight cycle computer magnets?
