Cracking bike and a cracking good purchase. Nice one
Yep, I'm really chuffed. The sale included tubes, bike tools, rack top bag
That's genuinely an absolute steal.
Yes, it's a lovely bike, better than expected, really, really nice

A pair of almost brand new (you can still see the little rubber frilly bits from the mould) 26 x 1.10 Schwalbe Duranos for £20 plus p&p off the Bay of E after I found a rusty screw jammed into the sidewall rear tyre of my hybrid this afternoon.
It's like for like, albeit the newer version.

Lidl have cycling stuff in again today. I lost a mitt in Devon earlier this week so I called in at Tod Lidl to see if they had any mitts my size. They did so I bought a pair. Not superb quality but they will do the job. At only £4.99 a pair I will be happy if they last a year or more.
PS On my way back I got a very nasty fright. My heavy d-lock was securely strapped onto the rear rack on my bike. Until it suddenly was NOT!! The bike shook and there was a loud clattering noise. I thought somebody had thrown something at my bike but when I looked back I saw my lock lying in the road. Fortunately, the driver behind braked in time to avoid hitting it - a heavy lock thrown up by a car wheel could do a LOT of damage!
I soon saw what had caused the lock to fall off the rack...
The bungee must have been damaged to cause it to fail like that. I remember that it had been rubbing on the back tyre on a previous shopping ride and that must have weakened it. I had double checked that it wasn't rubbing today.

I've been dipping into the purse.
Today a Garmin Edge 540. I was tempted by the Wahoo's - both models are in Prime Day Deals and both were cheaper than the Edge, but I'm already into the Garmin eco system so I figured the Edge would be more intuitive. And I'm already sharing way too much data with too many entities.
Yesterday, I bought some upgrades for the CGR Ti. It's quite a list:
This should probably be my last contribution to this thread for the year, but somehow I suspect it won't be.

- Easton EA90 SL 31.8mm Aluminium Stem
- Tubolito S-Tubo Road 700c Presta Innertube x2 (as spares)
- Tubolito Tubo Road 700c Presta Innertube
- Tubolito Flix Kit Repair Kit
- Continental Grand Prix 5000 Road Tyre (clinchers)
- Pro Vibe Superlight Carbon Handlebar - 42cm (couldn't find a narrower light / aero handlebar / cockpit in stock anywhere so no aero gains)
- Topeak Aero Wedge DX Small Bag with QuickClip
- Shimano 105 R7000 SPD-SL Pedals

Not actually today, I ordered it on Thursday and it arrived yesterday, but a hydraulic brake bleed kit, as my front brake had basically stopped working.
While I got it working, I have a sneaking suspicion from the condition of the calliper that it is leaking, possibly from around the pistons, and I may well need a new calliper as well

A nice new headlight.
well… a fifty or more year old headlight, but still brand new in the box and as it’s about the same age as the bike it does sorta suit it! I’m quite pleased.

Effectively some BMX platform pedals to fit on the daily Hybrid beater. I wanted something in Silver Aluminium and of a reasonable quality, large size with fairly aggressive / replaceable pins (*As i do ride in flat soled shoes; and although i've never actually slipped-off as such; my feet do wander more than i 'd like). Voila:
