Er, I'm in the process of turning my old fixie into a SS cross bike (yes, I know - nichecore to the max).

I've recently bought:

*FSA Vero drop bars
*Stem - cheaop from Decathlon
*Tyres - 2 x pairs (Schwalbe CX Pro + cheap Smallblock 8s)
*SS chainring in 40t and 130bcd fitting - thanks SJS Cycles!
*quill to ahead stem adaptor (Spa Cycles - useful for such trinkets)

Not exactly glamorous, I know, but still a good hundred quid's worth....

Aye now that i'm finally back on the mountain bike. Aye got a couple of shots but being a computer illiterate technophobic buffoon i don't know how to post them!

Well since [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/stw-forum-bivvy-ride-dec-4th-5th-from-machynlleth ]STW forum bivvy ride Dec 4th / 5th from Machynlleth[/url]. I have suffered serious 'gear envy'.

Not something I'm too bad with normally but after gaffer tapeing a bit of foam mat onto my Karrimat I went and bought one of these :

And since I got the 'p' taken out of me for having 2nd hand jacket that leaked. I treated myself to one of these.

You should have a word with your number plate bloke SurfMAt, thats all blurred, the fuzz won't like it.

Tollah - it's crystal clear. You must be drunk.

Another Virsa, great minds must think alike on the gold/green colour scheme!!

Nice watch skidareforkids 8)

Fsr xc 2009 comp frame, slx 3x10 groupset and clarks skeletal brakes. Building it on christmas day 🙂 but also 🙁 because i have to wait that long. And i will inevitably have forgotten something and Bike shops wont be open until the 28th at the earliest.

[img] [/img]

Ebay bargain. 60 quid, versus full price of 170. I'm happy.

And a set of these arrive in early jan.
[img] [/img]

Rather a bit as I'm building 3 bikes 2 for me and one for mrs tr

Hope eternity seat pin
Hope race x2s with floaters
Pro2 on arch 29
Xt cranks
Xtr pedals
Sandman frame and forks
Arctic cycles rims
Larry
Endo
An Xt hub
And that's just the big stuff - reckon i am still short of at least an ss kit for the mrs bike !

10m of XTR gear cable outer ...sweet.

Bought a new commuting bike

Just bought some new Crossmax SX wheels and ordered an Intense Tracer 2 frame in raw ...thinking about an M9 as well to replace my 951. 🙂

I boil in a bag wih a jacket on, so bought this discount from cotswolds.
Dry and warm, plus all i need is a base and a buff if it gets really cold. Just got to sort the cold feet out now.

I'd just like to point out that I haven't really just bought a Van Nic Tuareg, Ti seatpost and collar, XT chainset, hope PRO2 Evo hubs on crest rims, new fox FIT RLC forks and hope Tech X2 brakes with braided hose. It won't be built up in Jan when all the bits would have arrived if I'd bought them.

Not me sir - I just don't do things like that as I already have a bike.

If I had I'd be excited but as I haven't I'm not.

The last of the big spenders....
