The "what have you bought recently" thread

[itsnotarace]

Went and picked up these beauties earlier. Brand new, unused (came off a new bike) £280 cash. Epic win



Just finished fitting my GP4000's but no on-bike pics yet as I'm still awaiting my new cassette from Ribble, can't wait to get out on them

So, what shiny toys have you all been treating yourselves to?

[jefinabox]

Fitted an XTR m970 rear derailleur to my xc bike tonight. First time I've ever done it and setting it up was a reet pain!

[Lord Pikey]

In line with my other thread about a week off today i brought

1. Panniers
2. New Tyre
3. Funky chain link thingy
4. handlebar bag
5. spare tubes


can I go back to panic planning and packing now please!

[Uriel]

For my main bike new bars and tape.

For a new build, a David Lloyd Lo Pro frame/forks, a White Industries eccentric hub laced to a 700c Mavic Open Pro for the back and a bling bling deep 650c carbon Zipp jobbie for the front.

Some high rollers is all i've managed recently but more to come soon.

New Endura shorts and a slightly to tight Pearl Izumi jersey, nothing shiny but I am happy with them...

Birthday next month so hopefully some proper shiny things then!

Where did you find that? I've been REALLY struggling to find a Cannondale bike this year, they seem to be as common as unicorn poo.

Nice, does it match your bike?

Yeah quite well actually - tyres are half black half red, red bottle cages, the frames grey with red "highlights" (trek stickers and a few other bits). Plus, i mostly cycle in red (so I stick out)

Nothing quite as exciting as that bike or those wheels above.

I bought my OH a second hand Summer Skye ladies bike. Bright pink, so I felt a bit .. conspicuious driving home with it on the roof rack. Reasonable spec for the money though, good fork and barely used.

My only other purchase was some Leeches and a (rip off) inner tube from Halfords..

I've been maxing out my cadence down a few hills on the Boardy TC so I ordered an 11 tooth SRAM 1070 cassette yesterday from CRC and it was here at 10.30 this morning! No charge for delivery and best price around. That's good service.
