    Here's the usual, what cycling related goodies did everyone get. I'll get the ball rolling:

    Pre ordered Giro Synthe
    Cavendish Oakleys
    Donkey label embro and chamois cream
    Donkey Label Socks

    Preordered from chain reaction. But use parcel motel for a uk address or you have to pay irish vat on helmets

    2 ultegra front dérailleurs
    2 ultegra rear derailleurs
    1 cassette.

    Happy as. All I have to do now is take the old stuff from the race bike, convert the winter bike to 10 speed. Rebuild the race bike and the new TT bike.

    A replacement Gore Alp-X jersey - I love this jersey and wore my last one to destruction. Couldn't find one for love nor money, but Santa with the help of herself unearthed one :)

    Endura windtex bib longs

    Molteni merino training top

    Lezyne micro floor drive pump with gauge - very handy for commuting.

    Only remotely cycling-related thing I got is Pro Cycling Manager 2013 in the Steam sales, which I'm currently downloading. Looks to be good value at about 6 euro, the 2014 version is still 20 quid and it's pretty much out-of-date now too.

    Nice blingy carbon Ultegra pedals and a pair of winter gloves ideal for mornings like this, but I think I might wait till later to try them out.

    Got two tour de france books and a dvd about it. Now I have no excuse for getting questions wrong in the tour de france section on QuizUp. Out of a matter of interest does anyone here play QuizUp.

    I play it a lot, the questions on that TdF quiz can be ridiculously hard or easy. Good practice I suppose. In case you didn't know a lot of the people you'll play against are robotic, since so few people play that quiz. They basically just give random right/wrong answers. That's why some players might not know what the yellow jersey means, but they know how many stages were in the first ever Tour.

    That German Santa is very slow, mine delayed now till mid Feb. Still, don't think I'd be taking it out in this weather.

    When did you order?

    I spoke to one of Santa's helper in Kingston upon Thames on Tuesday. No talk of delay.

    And my model,colour and size are showing as being in stock.
    Hopefully, I won't have to wait too long.

    Vat rate in U.K is 20% and 23% in Republic, and Chain reaction do free post to Republic, are you saving much by using the Uk address and parcel Motel rather than the straight forward order/deliver??

    No instructions, no warranty, no manuals. I asked could I return them after finding this out. I was told no. It's a poor customer service all the same.
