    Espresso maker. Haven't got a Scooby doo how to use it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,505 ✭✭✭colm_gti


    A time trial bike :D

    Does it count if I bought it myself and put it under the tree though?

    EDIT: The boss of my life got me a pair of Bont A-Two's and a Bont jersey, does that mean she condones my cycling addiction?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,573 ✭✭✭✭ednwireland

    I got the exact same book :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 945 ✭✭✭CaoimH_in


    Shoes (http://www.bikeinn.com/images/products/fotos/spiuk_42868.jpg), winter jacket, long sleeve jacket (in TDF yellow and all!), and money towards Rotor Q-Rings! Some other non-cycling junk too. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,313 ✭✭✭Mycroft H


    Not exactly cycling related but a new pair of leather hiking boots.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,005 ✭✭✭veetwin


    A fcuking potato masher! I had been half hoping for an ipad:rolleyes:

    Seriously I do all the cooking...that does not mean I want a fcuking potato masher. Some mentioned a voucher for Richies - that would have done the job!

    Got a pair of gore bike wear bib tights. Hope it gets cold to justify wearing them. Should go well with my gore bike wear jacket and gore bike wear thermal overshoes.







    Did I mention gore bike wear enough times. :/

    Same here, well impressed, Mrs Surveyor did all the research, included the HRM & cadence meter as well. HRM saying 58bpm at rest at the mo, which is not bad after a calorie-fest and a bottle of Pinot Blanc.:pac:

    A Metric **** load of cycling related books, a nice pair of An Post Shorts, but I scored double brownie points by buying Mrs Junior a Garmin 500 with HRM and Cadence - hopefully that's the ground work done for a new frame in the new year ;-)

    The mother of all stomach bugs accompanied by some dramatic weight loss, hills should not prove a problem in the near future. While there was goose, duck and quail on the table, I opted for a nice cup of black tea in my laba.

    Part of the rules state that you must inform us when you claim a KOM so we can all have a bash at it...

    My better half was to get me a new cassette, chain, etc but it'll be sent back to rosebikes in the coming days.

    She entered a rosebike competition and won €2500 worth of bike stuff so I've this new bike to receive in the coming days. Can't wait. Santa was very generous this year :D

    Edit I got it in the anodised black one
