    I love the colour of the ICAN frame!

    I’ve finally managed to track down a reasonably priced BlipBox for my cheap etap TT groupset. Things are rare as hens teeth!

    Confirmed remote for the rest of the year, so pulled the trigger on a second cleva vacmaster air mover/ fan for the pain cave.

    Haven't cycled in a few years after no longer needing to for commuting. Got an itch to pick it up again the last few days but soon realised there was no new ones around in my size and budget. So picked up a stop gap on done deal for €200, happy out!

    Treating myself to a pair of Galibier Equipe bib shorts. Hopefully they will be as comfy as most people hereabouts say.

    My Galibier order arrived this morning.
    Two lovely touches in it - a free Liberté Multi Scarf (free is always good :)) and also a handwritten note on the copy of the invoice saying "Ride Safe Seth".
    I'm very impressed!

    They're brilliant for that kind of thing. I ordered their light overshoes during the winter time, they included a free pair of the neoprene ones with a handwritten note saying they might be more effective at that time of the year!

    Took the plunge and ordered new bib shorts that are the most expensive I’ve ever bought:
    1. Assos T Equipe Evo bib shorts
    2. Castelli Competizione bibs.

    Up to now I’ve always bought the Galibier range but a painful rear end (that new saddles and bike fits just can’t relieve) is making me desperate to try anything up to and including paying €290 for two pairs of new bibs.

    The bibs aren't the problem unless your pain is coming from skin chafing? Which you said it isn't, I think.

    No amount of bibs or adapted clothing is going to alleviate an orthopedic issue on the bike unfortunately.

    But they are really nice bibs and I'd love a pair of the Assos in particular :)

    I think shorts are very personal, and I would notice if I'm wearing different (and supposedly similar level) shorts.

    You need to try a new saddle not shorts.

    Topeak Joe Blow Booster tubeless pump for my first attempt at fitting tubeless tires.

    Topeak Fuel Tank top tube bag to give a bit more food storage / clothing options for my first attempt at 200k at some point in Sept hopefully.

    Not sure which I am dreading more

    Saddle bag, inner tubes, front and back lights, Cartridges Inflaters, water bottle & holder.

    Want to get this tshirt, requested that colour but with 'VELO' instead of bike to give it that French coolness/air of sophistication.....
    link. They have very similar t-shirt with VELO but I prefer the graphic colours on the 'BIKE' one

    Waterproof phone holder from Adverts. Cheap as chips, sits centrally. If it's not great, no big deal, happy to try it before spending €30+ on one

    Bar tape - never rewrapped my bars before, how hard can it be?
    Fingerless Mitts - time to move (slightly) upmarket from the Lidl/Aldi ones I've been wearing.

    really only ordered to use my CI voucher.

    5'11, and currently about 70-71kg. It's not overly big, just flappy on sleeves. and because it's just a bit loose, the necka area might be a weak spot. I had an Idro that I mistakenly bought in medium that was just way, way too small. I bought this jacket before lockdown and I was a few kilos heavier but by the time I tried it out, of course a bit big.

    I’m about your height but 20kg heavier and the XL fits me perfectly. One of the best things I’ve ever bought

    Bought an MTB in the Canyon sale this morning with a 'massive' €100 off. Something to tootle around with the 6 year old on.
    The curious thing is, if you go directly to the bike it is at full price and not shipping for a month or two.
    If you follow the Sale link it is in stock (being packed already!) and €100 off

    The seesense handlebar bag is supposedly in the post to me, having been preordered back at the start of August

    *edit* it's no longer in the post, it's now on my bike
