What have you bought for the bike today ?

Do I spy tea in that coffee mug @Domus. They are nice cups but a bit pricey for a tight northern like me.

I bought my bike, a friend

Tea 😱. Cannot remember the last time I drank the stuff. Lavazza double espresso don’t you know. ☕️👍

A pair of these in 50mm for my son's Christmas present - to go onto his new bike (a Ridley Noah Fast arriving next year):

Also bought a set of decals for a Carlton Corsa as we might paint the orange bike a bit again.

It probably had nothing to do with it but wearing my bright blue gabba against a bright blue sky on Sunday I got a lot of close passes and my mind started to wonder to a new more conspicuous helmet. I saw one I quite liked on special offer on a web site advert but typically it was out of stock. I did find though the model below for an OK'ish price (I doubt its discounted as much as they claim) but I ordered it.

A bike. £ 3.20. About £3 too much but I need a part which means the rest is 'free'.

'Sold' a month before at £16 but I'm presuming it was re-listed due to a non-paying bidder.

I bought a couple of 27.5 by 2.5 innertubes to replace the two I used this week.

I can see at least £100 worth of bits I could use from that. The Rack and Mudguards for starters.

New rims built into our tandem hubs picked up from LBS after recent mishap.

A set of metal tyre levers.
The schwalbes just laughed at the plastic set

An order from SJS cycles for my permanent loan MTB.
The seatpost clamp and seatpost had “gone”, it was supposed to be a 27.2mm post but measured 26.9/27.00 in the callipers and kept slipping and sliding no matter how tight it was. Also took the opportunity to purchases shim to fit an adjustable stem I have in stock to play around with the height of the bars as they feel a little low and two sets of brake pads as the current set are on their last legs.

I also took the opportunity to purchase a cheap seatpost rack and pannier bags to shove on so I don’t have to juggle school gear when doing the school rides. Both from EBay with a total cost of about £13!

Got some new MKS pedals for my 65 Moulton

A few friends of mine recommended the Garmin Varia. So I got one from the CRC Black Friday sale. Came surprisingly fast and was dropped of by the courier when I was on my morning ride. No note but I checked the net to find out where they had left it.

I have the Varia front light and rear radar light I love them.
