You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Pair of merino wool glove liners for £8, and an attempted endura MT500 shorts purchase from LBS, but they only had Large not fat boy specials. Not exactly single handedly defeating the credit crunch, I'm sure you've done better. Bits are good, bikes are betterer though..
Some Specialized '10 Dexter wind/water resistant gloves
The Specialized concept shop in harrogate had pretty much every other glove they do except for that glove in my size. Evans (even online) only seem to do the summer specialized golves
They haven't satisfied my urges to buy bike stuff though. Must .. buy .. something ..
Picked up a '98 10th anniversary Orange Clockwork on Saturday

a front mech thumbshifter
Judy butter and red rum lubricant as I'm building up to the rite of passage that is servicing my own forks. I feel that there's a fair bit more building up to be done yet though, mind. The exciting bit's next - some circlip pliers. Woohoo!

Magura Thor's
Middleburn middle ring

I couldn't resist the Thor's in the On One sale, and the rest due to knackered parts (except the £4 'vanity' purchase).
A Halfords cassette/splined disc tool. Exciting, n'est pas?
Oh. And some Geax Barro Mountains from the classiflids
I don't think I've made a purchase this week, never mind a bikey one.
The joys of no longer having a salary to worry about!

Two Ritchey saddles (one for MTB one for hack/commuter bike), and a pair of full finger Oakley gloves, OK these are not strictly bike specific, but for £13.95 from the Oakley store at Cheshire Oaks they're cheap enough to use on the bike, and if they get shredded they're cheaper than a lot of other full finger gloves out there.
Some second hand bars to replace my old Reetard ones which will snap sooner or later given the gouges I've taken out of them.
This afternoon, I'm going to order some oil, some grease and some Fenwicks. And a crappy style saddle clamp so that I can fit a proper saddle to the exercise bike 😀
Some green Oury lock on grips and blue clamps.
No other purchases on the cards atm but I might stick my flat bars and ends back on and get some skinnier road/commute tyres cos that's 90% of my riding atm.

Pink forks...*hangs head in shame*
Makes my new [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/new-bike-well-new-frame-really-built-ridden-and-erm-photographed ]Purple Inbred 29er[/url] look positively heterosexual!
😕
a £9.99 pair of silk glove liners............. 😳
A pair of 2.3 swampthings!
Christ that pink on-one is a offence against human rights.
As for purchases - just cables. Although it is to get my Dew back on the road and possibly using it as a do-all get-around-and-training bike whilst I'm away working. I may fit a powertap to it...
I was abstaining and had been doing quite well since feb. However my forks broke so I sent them away for a repair and service. Then I decided as the bike was out of action and I was busy moving house I would drop my frame off to be powder coated.
Got a few bits to refurb my commuter as well. But since it's snowing again and they are gritting it can stay in the box until it warms up (June?)
A Titus Motolite .. direct from the states 😀
loads of helicopter tape
hope headset
control tech seatpost
Sram chain
cables and odds and sods to finish the build !
Oh and a cheap set of wheels for my roadbike , which came today
This. Wanted to try out a steel road bike. Instead of Veloce there is a full Ultegra groupset and EA50/Fizik components. Can't wait to get it in my hands 🙂
