More wheels than sense
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

More Dura-Ace ! Are you looking to acquire all the parts in the in uk ? lol

All part of the upgrade process. And yes, I've quite a lot of bits.

A RH Ultegra 8000 shifter - it'll complement the 6800 LH one on the Viner Mitus winter road bike. Which'll mean me re-cabling the gear cables again but I'll have a full spare set of 5800 shifters to sell on.

On a bit of a spree at the moment but refuse to pass on this

Other projects will have to take a back seat.

Puzzle game procrastinator!
I bought some new cycling shoes this week. They will be great in weather cooler than this, but my feet have been overheating during this warm spell so I have just ordered 3 pairs of cheapo short lightweight ventilated socks on Amazon and another 3 pairs on eBay.

Sorry all - that will probably cause a premature end to the summer now! :laugh:

9 speed mixed groupset off eBay for £110 . Some duff parts but it's all unused, taken off a display bike. Parts include:

FSA tempo crankset (50/34)
Claris shifters + front and rear mechs
Drop Bars with tape + cables fitted
Square taper BB
Chain

Not quite in keeping with my plans but most of it should get used / substituted later on
