Vostok watch from Russia
Cadisen watch from China
Aluminium clipboard
Brass tweezers
A book
In my defence - I'm still working, in fact doing overtime, and one of the watches is for someone else.
That Amazon orders tab is a bit scary. I've been using them since 2002
Actually starting to really annoy me, waiting for some C spanners for my new Tein shocks for the legacy. I've got a couple of other jobs that I'll do at the same time but these are just super slow and the whole thing's stuck for the sake of a £7 tool.
(the cheap angle grinder I bought from china arrived faster ffs)
When all this started my banking online wasn't working properly, I could get inside the account but not the transactions. So, with a bit of concerned forward planning, deferred gratification and encouragement from on here, I ordered some beer. And some more, got to keep these breweries going. Last week the phone starts working properly and I check the transactions. My giddy aunt, I could have had carbon wheels or a Campag groupset. At least the beer's made here and makes the bikes feel lighter.
A groupset and new saddle from Germany.
A saddle from CRC that has been with the courier for a few days now but is now showing as being returned to sender, delivery never attempted.
A Hitch spacer for my tiddly little trailer, no rush on that as the trailer's at my parent's house.
My first pair of clipless pedals. Shimano M520 to see if I get on with them on the road bike.
If I do they'll go on the MTB and I'll buy more road appropriate cliplessness (if such a thing exists).
Blind bearing puller from Amazon
Rucksack and buff from Terra Nova
Usb battery from Ali Express - likely lost in transit as it was ordered ages ago.
‘Kin bike industry!
All the required bits for my bike are either with me or the manufacturer, except the fork which, despite being ‘released’ at the beginning of April, (probably) won’t be with the disti until mid June (2021 36 in black, it’s the end of July if you want it in metallic brown root beer). I get the whole c19 thing has causes delays, but first batches other model forks (38, all colours released at the time are now in stock and shipped to dealers, and this was in full swing when they released the fork. I also get that smaller companies need to drum up a bit of interest/cash with preorders etc so they don’t get screwed with stock, shouldn’t be an issue with Fox.
First world problems I know, woe is me etc, but still.
Could be worse, I’m 18 months in to waiting for some cranks that were supposed to take 3, and 3 months in to a 9 month wait for brakes. Good things and that...
