    DHB Aeron Speed bib shorts.

    Pricey for own brand stuff but several people have recommended them to me and I know they fit well.

    You get to be excited that they're coming for how many months though?

    Then you forget about them, and get a surprise from you, to you, when they do arrive. What's not to like ;)

    Its amazing the amount of stuff you can get all for 20squid on aliexpress ;)

    They arrived yesterday so not technically in the post.

    Ergon GP5 handlebar grips.

    Was getting some wrist pain on my hybrid doing 50km.

    They give 3 to 4 hand positions instead of one.

    Enable a hybrid to feel somewhat like a road bike in regards to resting the hand.

    Plus nice for going uphill.

    Well worth the €62.

    Moved one bike on and freed up space and money for another, having one or two issues getting it sorted but looks like this frame is on the way

    33881939113_001e0d4d79_z.jpg

    A Sagan superstar limited edition Allez sprint frame. Looks much better in photos that the mock up there.

    Have been looking for one of the sprint DSW frames for a while now but hard to get in Ireland, specialized stuff isn't usually available online from other countries but they seem to be shipping these. Nearly like a petrol colour, can't wait to get it.

    So after a long wait, and some iffy customer service along the way, my Mercian Pro arrived today. I had a gut-feeling that they would get something wrong, and as it happens they chose to use gold finish where I had specified yellow.

    After shaking my head for a while, and getting over the disappointment, I think I actually like the gold just fine. Maybe even a bit more than my old yellow colour-scheme. A lucky fukc-up, then. But Mercian remain a great bike-builder with shocking-bad admin and customer service.

    oooh, bling, I likes it!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,514 ✭✭✭OleRodrigo


    Can't beat a Mercian.

    Thought I'd seen those colors before.:D

    Well wear, would love a DSW. Get it from Sigma?
    On the way for me at the moment is boring stuff unfortunately:
    105 11-28 Cassette
    52t 105 Chainring
    And some Sapim spokes for an upcoming custom wheel build.;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,424 ✭✭✭joey100


    Yep, hopefully, still trying to sort out the credit card issue! Had trouble with the transaction going through and now they are looking to confirm I am who I say I am. All being done through who ever processes their online payments and is taking ages, started on Monday night and still not heard anything back.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,837 ✭✭✭CrowdedHouse


    Just arrived - SEM-France Loire jersey from Prendas, looks good but janey the Santini sizing does nothing for the ego!

    Parktool Track pump from Canyon @ 20 euro

    Mashed my Athena FD on a spin Sunday. Jaysus there rare as hen's teeth in a 35mm clamp on - even the newer Potenza ones. Managed to get a band adopter and braze on one in Evans. €12 delivery for express was a bit saucy, but need it fitted this weekend before the W200.

    Also picked up a pair of Endura shorts in the Cyclesuperstore Wednesday deal last week - will be handy for commuting.


  • Registered Users Posts: 266 ✭✭dancrowley


    A pair of Vittoria Corsa Graphene Plus clinchers (25mm, anthracite)
    A pair of Lifeline alloy bottle cages (silver)
    A pair of Oakley Jawbreakers (I have a pair of knock-offs, which are grand, but I think its time for the real deal)


  • Registered Users Posts: 97 ✭✭Rokta


    Garmin 520 and an Endurace from Canyon.


  • Registered Users Posts: 266 ✭✭dancrowley


    Cervelo R5 frameset (2017 frame, not the brand new one)
    3T seatpost, stem and bars
    LizardSkin bar tape
    52/36 chainrings for Campagnolo Record chainset (2014 5-arm model)

    32-hole Campagnolo Chorus rear hub to replace one that died. So hard to find one that wasn't silly money!

    Started piecing together bits for a groupset swap. Initially I had planned to buy a complete Ultegra together but brought some personal plans forward meaning I couldn't justify the outlay in a single hit.

    Picked up derailleurs and a crankset here though for not a lot of money. I have a KMC gold chain and cassette already and already using Ultegra brakes so now I just need to find a brand new/mint set of levers for less than the price of a bag of peanuts :pac:
