Ultegra 6800 pedals from Pro Bike Kit to match the groupset on the new bike*. Best price I've seen since I've been looking, although could really do with deleting the cyclingbargains app!

*I know probably a waste to pay the ultegra premium for the pedals rather than just go for 105, but it matches! Saving the mismatch for the zondas

guym · 16-01-2018 11:14am

Pair of Fizik R4B's after the dog ate the boa dial on my R5B's. One way to get an upgrade I suppose

:p Only €125 on the Canyon site.

Vintage LOOK pedals for my 1986 La Vie Claire replica team bike and an ISIS drive Italian thread bottom bracket (finally found one in a bike shop in Texas!!) for the vintage Bianchi steel bike project. Woohoo!

Any pics of that project?

no pics of the Bianchi yet, as the frame is away getting glass bead blasted before I respray it in Celeste. I'm going to commit sacrilege by building it with Shimano parts!

Just received my Moon Meteor Storm Pro light and the thing is seriously bright. Can start commuting now soon.

Also got an Osprey backback for said commute. Now to see how often I join the Wimp list

would love to get a front rack for the workhorse

monkeyslayer · 27-01-2018 8:02pm

Wahoo Element Bolt as of ten minute ago... first spin in months and after the Garmin just wouldn't charge or connect properly, its old, well weathered and been acting the mick a lot since the summer, was about to pull the trigger on a 520 but actually couldn't find a bad review on the wahoo and I kinda like its design, also a bit fed up with all the connecting and clicking that went into syncing my Garmin 500 with Strava

Won’t regret it great gps made the switch from 520 and have not looked backed is faultless

Boscoirl · 27-01-2018 8:51pm

Soft cover bike bag.
The wife’s car can’t take a bike rack. So have to put down the back seats and put it in the boot. And don’t want to wreck it.

8valve · 30-01-2018 8:14pm

8.4mm silicon cord (oh the excitement!!) so I can rebuild the airvalves in my 1990s RockShox Paris Roubaix forks, for the ongoing Bianchi Steel project.
And a pair of Continental tubs for the Spinergys going on the same bike.
This is going to be some mongrel....cooler than penguin's piss.....but a mongrel, nonetheless.
The vintage steel bike nazi purists will be out for my blood....:-)
Wait till they find out I'm using a vintage Shimano groupset and not Campag!!!!!

Delighted with it, discovered this morning I could zoom in and out more detail on the screen... Fantastic

Mitts and a couple of cycling biography books, who's I can't remember......aging badly. Me not the kit.

Rocket99 · 04-02-2018 3:36pm

Hi All,

Not sure if I'm in the right place to ask this, but sure I'll go for it anyway.
Can anyone recommend winter cycling gloves that are water resistant? Coming home after every cycle lately with hands like ice cubes. I've seen a few guys out cycling wearing what appears to be scuba gloves, can anyone advise on this?

Cheers.

Dunno about Scuba gloves but I've worn Neoprene fishing gloves and they were S$%te...... although waterproof my hands seemed to get very cold inside them... Aldi's Lobster Gloves in size XL with good fleece gloves worn under them seem to work so far, better than some awful €50 Endura gloves I bought which were terrible.... (I sprayed the Aldi Lobster gloves with a water repellent silicone spray but needs redoing)

(Some people swear by Sealskinz gloves, never had them so can't comment)>

I suppose your question is in the right place once you get your gloves posted out to you...;)

Just shy of €90? Are there different version of those? I've seen ones go for 180 on some sites recently.

Kmc dlc 11 speed chains , one black and red and one black and green

Steel Lemond frameset. Pre-TREK era.
Columbus tubing, Columbus dropouts.
Handbuilt by Bilato in Italy, who also built frames for Pinarello, Tommassini et al...
To say I'm excited would be an understatement!!

brownian · 12-03-2018 8:49pm

Got a Torm jersey in the post. Indistinguishable, except for slightly looser sleeves, from a Rapha Classic. Same fabric (35% merino, 65% polyester). Same solid stitching, YKK zip, two zipped pockets, zip garage, nice 'claret' colour, two arm stripes.

But half the price.

Much nicer in the flesh than on the web.

triggermortis · 13-03-2018 12:59am

10 speed crankset, bar tape, brake pads, cassette, chain, and a few other finishing bits for a project

These were really beautiful in blue / yellow team Gan colours in the mid 90s. Be sure to post a picture or two of it in the “images of beauty” thread when you get it. If it’s a 54 or 55 cm frame, I’ll be very jealous!!

rodneyTrotter. · 15-03-2018 12:04am

I had one of these many years ago . The team gan yellow and blue one . Made from excell tubing . Absolutely beautiful bike . it had a win or two in its day . I’d buy one back in a heartbeat

Set of Schwalbe Durano Plus 25mm & a set of MTB brake shoes to avoid postage cost

Cycliq fly 12. Couldn't bring myself to pay for the new one, but the old one dropped enough for me to pony up.

I used to race on one of those in the 90's, Gan colours and started off with Mavic Zap but then went to Super Record. Beautiful bike to ride and look at

Wiggle in the end.

Two Schwalbe one tubeless tyres, from BikeComponents.de. With a bottle of sealant.

Nothing wrong with the ones I have, but will want to change them before any long trips, and they are dear in B&M shops.

Looking closely at the current pair, they have a lot of nicks in them. But have punctured exactly once, and self-sealed as promised.

Oh...and they're fast.

And (one of those weeks) a pair of Sugoi RS Pro half-shorts for the summer, from BikeInn.

What Username Guidelines · 27-03-2018 6:39am

Cyclic Fly6 from amazon, £59.99 on amazon at the minute for 1st gen, cheapest its been

Been considering it for a while and cant argue with that price.

dahat · 27-03-2018 5:04pm

2 x Conti Ultra Sport, 23mm for the training bike. Frame won't fit 25mm tyres which is a downright shame as I've no faith in 23mm tyres.
