The beer is a reward for not spending too much.

Hint of a feminine approach to economics there. Happens around and to me.

A Fizik Cyrano stem for the NeilPryde Nazaré to match the bars, plus some countersunk allen screws for stock.

I wandered into a charity shop this morning, minutes later I wandered out again clutching a set of Karrimor luggage, front and rear panniers, saddle bag and handlebar bag, all in blue nylon, in plastic bags, £24.50 for the lot. I may have lifted the rear panniers from under the nose of someone else who was interested in them: if you snooze, you lose.

I've come to learn over the years that shopping in charity shops is much like yellow stickering - fastest finger and all that...

A pair of SPD A530 flat/SPD pedals; son no. 2 pinched the ones off my Raleigh Pioneer for his university Spesh Hotrock single speed and I hadn't got round to replacing them. £25 for a hardly used set seems OK.
A frame insert for the Ridley Helium I'm about to build.
And it appears I've won an auction for a pair of Dura-Ace 9000 shifters. Wonder where they'll go ...
(I'm probably going to be working on the Ridgeback Platinum audax bike before/after PBP - either to fit the Dura-Ace 7900 pair I recently bought or more likely these and change the front/rear derailleurs so I can have a longer cage rear derailleur, moving it to 11 speed). The Woodrup can then go to 10 speed using the 7900's plus the 7800 derailleurs currently on the Ridgeback.

I understand the words and the broad thrust of your post.
But the finer detail is totally lost on me.

Simple summary: My son pinched my pedals. And I'm continuing to upgrade my bike's components.
I've not found anyone (yet) to take my son off my hands, time and money-wise.

You mean, to paraphrase Jane Austen, that it is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of far too many bicycles, must be in want of a wife...

…who also wants too many bicycles, surely?

It can be interpreted in many ways
This girl is one to talk, she's got five bikes. OTOH, I'm old enough to be said young fella's mother.
