What have you bought for the bike today ?

[Rhythm Thief]

A set of Shimano CX50 cantilever brakes. On setting up the brakes on my 'cross bike, I discovered that the brakes a) had a rounded off and seized adjuster screw on one cantilever arm and b) were crap. So off to eBay for new ones.

If beauty is in the eye of the beholder ... you must be blind

Only joking

Bought a pair of Vittoria Randonnuer tyres 700x47c

 

[Rhythm Thief]

Some Campagnolo 10 speed shifters and a Campag Ultra Torque chainset. The nice thing about much of the cycling world disappearing up its own fundament while chasing the next marginal gain through the latest tech is that stuff which was bleeding edge a few short years ago can now be picked up for pennies.

He's only went and done it again..

I bought another tandem yesterday.

It's in Wakefield, I'm in N Ireland. Sent my mate in Wakefield the money and he went round and lifted it for me. An absolute billy bargain if there ever was one. It's now the 3rd Circe Helios that I have owned. Now to plan how I'm getting it home

Oh interesting. Would fit our tandem too. Any links?

A pair of extended stem pedals

An Ultegra front derailleur for my Felt VR40, to upgrade the factory Tiagra item. Mainly for better mudguard clearance. But couldn't argue with the price of £14.99 (11.99 with code). eBay link
Is it fake though? Well time will tell but turns out the seller is actually Evans and they've sold a boat load of them so I thought it unlikely, i.e would have been discovered. More likely old stock clearout.

I didn't want my Orbea Gain (also Tiagra) to feel left out, so ordered another one! Braze-on this time, last one was band on.

I had never heard of those. I was a bit confused by what it is so I went to the Circe Cycles website to check it out. That is a very interesting design!

You can say I bought them today but I ordered replacement bibs and jacket after my ice spill at the weekend. Somehow I managed to rip them apart but only sustained minor cuts and no bruising. I'll have to get round to ordering a replacement helmet too.

This little lot arrived today to replace some worn out stuff and perform some much needed maintenance.
