What have you bought for the bike today ?

[Elybazza61]

Some stuff from Restrap;
Bar bag bumper bar for the better half's Cotic
Some frame straps
And a belt for me.

Currently looking at a Carradice quick release for the Wizard Works Shazam so I can swap it between two bikes.

And trying not to order a Stayer Groadinger UG

 

[Ming the Merciless]

A rear tyre, 3 spare HT 2 bottom brackets, and a lightweight summer top for hot days.

I bought a new square taper bottom bracket for my '6-er'.

And another pair of Shimano (MTB) SPD shoes - . I want to keep my current pair for offroad rides.

As usual for my feet with Shimano shoes, I had to go up 2 EU sizes to get a good fit.

I bought the used shoes on eBay for £40 incl. p&p. That is about half price. As you can see, they are in excellent condition! They came with cleats.

There is a clue on the underside of one shoe which suggests something...

Those shoes have never been ridden outdoors! I think that they were used purely on a turbo trainer bike. It looks to me like that cleat had been a bit loose and has moved around a lot in use so the shoes have definitely seen at least some action.

I am very pleased with that buy.

@CXRAndy - please let me know if they're decent or just a gimmick. Son no. 2's birthday is coming up soon ...

 

[CXRAndy]

Really like them. Work very well, don't need a keyboard for most functions after logging in. Responsive to steering. Alex and I got them today, He likes them too

A few bits due to prepping the commuter and another bike:

- A couple of Pirelli tyres
- A couple of tools; cable routing kit as I couldn't on the Thompson's 3T Aeronova bars, but could on the Viner's slightly wider-holed Ribble/Level bars and some new screwdrivers.
- A pair of mudguard bridges; one for the Avanti and one as a spare
- A new Uvex road helmet after the cradle on mine broke
- Some cassette spacers for 10 speed as I've none left
- A Dura-Ace rear derailleur as it was relatively cheap
- A second Dura-Ace RH pedal, which means I've now got two full pairs instead of just two LH pedals
- And a budget TT helmet

A mystery frame!

Not sure what expect with this but curiosity got the better of me. Here's a link to the original ad. Anyone care to speculate on what this is? I wasn't particularly in the market for a road bike but my interest was piqued by the name and the forks (are they slightly chunkier than standard road forks, or is that wishful thinking on my part?)

I've never had a Roberts, so pretty buzzed about it either way!

Nice catch would be one if my top choices along with Mercian, bob Jackson, Hewitt's enigma etc.

It looks like it would be good for a fixed/singlespeed project?

Nooo!

Good idea, that mech hanger will have to go

Today I received a Magicshine SeeMee DV camera/light combination for my birthday. Not got it up & running just yet. It looks like it will be a good upgrade over my old Aldi Maxtek unit which is still going strong, which I intend to pass to my son.

Can anyone recommend a good multi tool not looking to spend over £30

I know many people deride Halfords, but I've been very happy with this one, for £15
