A 200ml force feed draper oil can. A lovely little thing.

Just awaiting delivery of the most ridiculously expensive seatpost , in fact it's so expensive I"m actually embarrassed ! It does have a carbon fibre remote control lever that doubles as an integrated lock on for my grips though!

Thomson dropper post, perchance?

I've just bought myself a Wildcat Gear handlebar harness - whilst I'm waiting for it to turn up I can have a think about how I can fettle my lighting setup so that it illuminates the trail rather than the contents of the handlebar harness.

KS Lev. Cable into the body rather than the moving post. Allows much neater cable management. Still eye-wateringly expensive though

Yep, you're not wrong there ... think I'll stick with comically fat tyres to provide rear suspension

Its not for suspension! Its going on a full susser anyway. Its to move the post out of the way on drops and descents for better and safer bike handling. Until these appeared people did it by stopping at the top and using the QR seatclamp. These are much easier and do make riding safer

Yep - I've just realised that.
I saw "Travel: 125mm" in the spec and my brain went off and did its own thing.

Is it home time yet?

Corley's has a sale on. "Moth to flame"
Shouted myself a Specialized Romin Evo Expert saddle.

interzen · « **Reply #2608 on:** 13 October, 2012, 02:34:11 pm »

Ordered myself a handlebar sling from Wildcat Gear (http://wildcatgear.co.uk) - bikepacking kit is almost complete, or at least it will be when the frame bags turn up

David Martin · « **Reply #2609 on:** 13 October, 2012, 05:06:30 pm »

A pair of cheap LED '240 lumen' torches with bike mounts. Should do for the winter rides with Peter.

GrahamG · « **Reply #2610 on:** 13 October, 2012, 06:03:18 pm »

Nice new wet black Ritchey WCS bar and stem for poshing up the audax bike.... it's giving me an unsavoury desire for a frame re-fin in gloss black though.

A SON28 Klassik black hub centred, hopefully, in an Exal LX17 rim. For the pompino and as a spare for when the first SON28, on the galaxy, has to go to Germany for service.

A £16 aldi cycling soft shell.

It's my first bit of proper cycling clothing (apart from shoes).

A set of Avid Speed Dial 7 V-brake levers - a more flat-bar friendly replacement for the Diacompe 287Vs I've just sold

mcshroom · « **Reply #2614 on:** 17 October, 2012, 11:33:53 am »

Some DiaCompe 287Vs - guess where

Also some Ritchey Comp Road Logic Drop Handlebars, some Easton Bar tape (in blue?!), an Ixon fork crown mount and a Topeak wedge bag mount from SJS

A pair of worn once Lake MX-101s have arrived today, I shall try them (the cheap option at ~£20) before I decide if I want to splash out £80 on a pair of Polaris Splinters.

Kim · « **Reply #2616 on:** 17 October, 2012, 12:33:22 pm »

700c inner tubes. I appear to use those too, occasionally.

tiermat · « **Reply #2617 on:** 19 October, 2012, 09:30:51 am »

Started early today, by 08:00 I had ordered a pair of cycling boots for Mrs T, Sidi ones no less!

interzen · « **Reply #2618 on:** 19 October, 2012, 09:33:41 am »

Genesis Fortitude Adventure frame and forks and singlespeed 29er rear wheel.

£500 spent before I've even had breakfast. Must be a record (for me, at least)

IanDG · « **Reply #2619 on:** 19 October, 2012, 10:22:24 pm »

2 white tread Vittoria Zaffiros - My 16yr old daughter wants a road bike. There's a Raleigh Pursuit frame in the garage so I've started to dig out spares and get the parts needed to rebuild it - she wants white tyres, saddle and bar tape - I think she may be a hipster $:-\$

A new bottom bracket.

This is the old one after ~2000 miles:-

LBS say it's knackered because of the immense of power that I put out.
They can bullshit, it's just that they're not very good at it.

An Altura Attack Waterproof in blue. Reduced from £180 to £90 in sale - last year's model I think - from BikesYouLike.

robgul · « **Reply #2622 on:** 20 October, 2012, 07:13:48 pm »

Brooks B!7 in brown, new, for £45 + a modest charge for postage - too good to miss now that they're £69.99 + post everywhere I've looked in the last week.

Rob [Stands back, waiting to be proved wrong on price ... ]

you could have bought my spare B17 for £40 & saved even more £

Perhaps Clarion might want it
