Inner tubes, lube and a bottle. Next month may be able to buy some new bibs which will be more exciting!

More slime!

also I may have bought a aluminium alloy (possibly), hard tail mountain bike (defiantly) with 21shift gears (or perhaps 18 I may need to count) and 700cc (almost certainly) tires for £50. I have no excuses or self justification, it's pretty much the exact opposite of my shopper, it looks aright for £50 so I bought it.

Gahhhhh this bike ownership thing is expensive! I just discovered that I own no wrenches and my bike repair multi-tool does not have the one I need on it to bring my seat down a bit so I had to buy some. While I was on amazon I bought some new inner tubes and proper wired hybrid tyres for road and rim tape for the 700c

On the plus side everything I have bought comes to about the same as a few months car insurance or what I spend on taxis to and from town in a year.

Drew up a list of bits to make my new cross bike able to do what I bought it for earlier in the week, first thing ordered was brake pads to replace the awful stock ones.

Latte. To help my bike cope with getting me up hills. Might have been the other way round though!

Five O gauge model railway truck kits as a present to say thank you to my Woodrup whose two years of ownership has cost less than £80 inc hub gear oil, tyres and brake pads leaving me with cash looking fore something to buy. I'll be building them as the bike lacks the dexterity to make a decent job of them.

Bought some new bars for my new frame. Handbuilts (H plus Son Archetypes) are turning up next week. Taking most of the drivetrain off my current bike, but I'm sure I'll think of something else I need soon enough.

I bought some more latex inner tubes. I reckon that is the only thing I'll use in the future.
Toying with the idea of buying the Dura Ace 9000 crankset, not that I might see great improvement in performance but it has bits of black in it that goes with the 105 in black that I have. Besides, the wife could never tell the difference :laugh:. Just like the look of it.
