    Now in the back of the car rather than the post. Still have to size it against the 11yo and 12yo - whoever fits it will get it, and the other one will have to wait:pac:

    Same size for both, so this is now on its way:

    @ Beasty - would you consider adopting me?

    My father was a great believer in delayed gratification which only served to help me develop feelings of bitterness and rage at a young age......

    Swanky looking leather saddle from Planet-X - reduced from €140 to €30.

    Special feature is this amazingly useless piece of technology within - 'Hold your NFC-equipped smartphone up to the tail of the saddle and an app will verify that this is an original and show you details about the saddle and how to care for it.'

    Scwalbe The 1 - Tubeless 28c

    Lezyne mid sized stuffed saddle bag (multi-tool & levers included) to replace the birzman F1 hardshell that's been brilliant but the clip thing got overstressed by me forcing it when adjusting the saddle. :picard:

    Ordered a jersey and a pair of socks from Galibier today.
    €42 posted for the two.
    Ordered at 10 past 11 this morning and got the dispatch confirmation mail a few minutes ago

    These arrived today. Superb quality jersey I have to say. I've a base layer, jersey, socks and shoe covers now from Galibier and the quality of all is superb.

    Went to two large cycle stores with cash in my pocket to buy first cycling shoes and pedals. Tried on a few size shoes in both without any sign of anyone to give help or advice.

    Prices were pretty steep anyway, so, now I know my size, CRC are sending me shoes and pedals. :)

    New bib shorts from Galibier. Ordered them yesterday afternoon (Sunday) and got a email last night confirming they'd been dispatched.

    An email from the courier this morning said they would be delivered before midday today so I'm hoping that they are there when I get home.

    That's impressively quick! :)

    Brake caliper, brake pads, cables and two sets of handlebar tape, all for my latest project. Have a track bike sitting in the shed unused and unloved, so I'm turning it into a commuter

    Abus Tec-Tical Pro V2 Bora Argon from merlin cycles at €90 with free delivery which hopefully was the cheapest you can find. Kask Protone lost the battle of looks with it but at just under half the price plus improved looks on the head I shouldn't complain.

    Ritchey seat post, thomson seat clamp and GCN cap - from merlin as well.

    Just got my delivery in the door. They must have been out of big padded envelopes or small boxes in CRC coz the box was nearly half the size of a bike wheel. Bit disappointed with the Gilet as the back is half mesh so not really shower/drizzle proof. Really should read the customer reviews 1st before buying

    KMC X11SL chain from Bike24, not available anywhere else in silver only gold which just looks plain wrong IMO.

    Elite 750cl bottle, Assos arse cream, LifeLine self stick puncture repair pathes and Shimano yellow cleats from CRC.
