I didnt buy anything but an idea came to me. I am throwing so much scrap cloth out that I thought I would design a musette. Im still in the planning stages. I have never owned one and so I am guessing what size wohld be useful and manageable But when I get the size and material right, I will be giving them away to anybody who would like one.

 

[Johnno260]

Set of Pirelli P-Zero's

Nice idea, might this help for sizing? https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.bicycling.com/culture/how-to/how-to-sew-your-own-musette-bag?amp
I like a bit of "material engineering" (which is so much more butch than sewing )

Got a chain wear tool, and I now know the chain on my Ribble Audax is officially knackered.

Also got a pair of MTB trousers for when I do the Bikeability stuff in inclement weather. The legs on them zip off so you can turn them into shorts in warmer weather.

 

[Vantage]

I've needed lower gearing on the bike since I first got it soooooooo, from Spa, on the way are.....

24, 34 & 46T spa chainrings.
A new KMC chain.
A new HG41 11-34T cassette.

I'll be attacking those pesky hills even slower but they won't knacker me out as much

 

[bpsmith]

A whole new bike.

Ridley Helium SL.

 

[Justinitus]

A pair of Kojaks, a non-folding pedal and a front hook thingy for the Brommie from SJS.

Also a Rixen Kaul part to see if I can adapt my current Klickfix bracket for the Brommie.

Oh, and a firm elastomer block ‘cos I’m a chubster

That's what I'm putting on the Scott roadie, with an Alivio rd, and a new chain.

Thanks..The only reason id have the budget is by cycling to work and saving £15 per day.Its an aweful pity that the pro1 disc is the colour it is otherwise would have been more than happy with the spec.The bike that you have bought is a really nice bike and I look forward to the pics once it arrives.

Well it arrived absolutely fine. Bought a torque wrench and pedals for it and cannibalised the old bike a tad to get it out and about for a shakedown. Woo it’s fun. Feels very racy compared to the old Triban, set the bars and saddle similarly for now (full spacing on the TCR is slammed on the Triban!) May lower the bars about a cm and try again tomorrow.

Slight snag with the rear gear cable housing I need to sort out but won’t take me long. Not a deal breaker that’s for sure.

A couple of 100mm stems from PlanetX to replace the 110mm items on both of the Van Nicholases and a Selcof Bullhorn handlebar plus some bar tape as an experiment for one of the flatbars.

Then for me, not the bike, a pair of the PlanetX 365 race gloves, a pair of their crab hand winter gloves (as they've both worked so well this winter) and from Wiggle a couple of pairs of SH51 cleats for the new shoes which arrived this week...
