    My wife bought me one of these. Absolutely chuffed with it. Went for a spin in it yesterday and very happy with it. Anything nice yourself?

    It's the best present I've ever got, but I've got to find funds for Groupset, finishing kit, wheels etc. Just have to get down the docks and show the good leg more often..

    That's some knife btw..

    I got nothing.

    If I had a receipt, I'd be giving her back:rolleyes:

    I thought I'd get something nice this year, seeing as I had this under the tree for her last year as a complete surprise!

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,464 ✭✭✭snollup


    If you getting the grinder & coffee machine your talking close to €1,000.

    - I'm hoping to upgrade my current coffee set-up to this in the new year.
