Puzzle game procrastinator!
I have borrowed a Specialized Body Geometry Phenom Comp Road saddle from a mate. He bought a used MTB which had that saddle fitted but the saddle does not suit him.

Its shape looks like a cross between the other saddles that I use (a Fizik Arione, a Planet X Arione-lookalike and a Charge Spoon) and I get on well with them, so I hope this will suit me because I currently own 4 bikes but only have those 3 saddles.
Aaargh - I told him that I can get another Planet X saddle for £20 so that is the maximum I'd pay for his Specialized saddle. I took the old Planet X saddle off my Basso, put his saddle on and went for a 50 km ride. I decided that the Specialized was worth the £20 to me so I said I would pay it. He then declared that it was not enough and is going to try and get double that on eBay. Fair enough, he might manage that but why did he let me go to the bother of swapping the saddles over when he knew that I would only offer him half what he wanted for it! :wacko:

A nice pair of shiny Shimano XC61 shoes because there was too much flex in my MT71's and a Specialized Foot bed didnt help with the hot spots.

I just needed a pair of wide fitting shoes anyway. So heres to hoping they feel a bit more comfortable with the SFB insert.

Not the guitar, but some hoops and hubs for a set of disc wheels I'm building for the CAADX. fed up with the dross that came fitted from the factory.

A Brooks B17 for the Brompton.I hope it works (and lasts!) as well as the one on the tourer ... And that the honey colour doesn't result in stained trousers as much as the black one does!

I relented and bought a Garmin Edge 520 for £180 from CRC with 10% BC discount - I was initially checking out ebay to see if i could score a deal on a pre-owned one but even pre-owned ones were selling for £140-165, Not a huge saving so i'd thought i might as well buy it new and get the warranty with it.

My edge 200 will go for about £60 so i'll recoup some of the cash at least.

The chain wear tool showed just more than .75 on my Revolt chain after the winter, despite regular Mickleing... so after about 1200 miles I have a new KMC chain from Wiggle for the bike.
