What is Santa bringing

jos28 · 29-11-2018 7:02pm #1

Just curious to know what cycling goodies you would like to see in your Christmas stocking ? OK, I'm really just looking for ideas for the cyclists in my life

wirelessdude01 · 29-11-2018 7:05pm

So far Santa has brought a new Garmin, new Oakley's, new Hanna, new bib tights and full set of new kit in the past month. He'll do well to be able to afford anything new forward a short while.

Have changed clubs so will have to be purchasing new club kit in the not so distant future anyway.

Im a large, but the medium is nice and snug fitting, just as i hoped (and they do say so on their site.).
Also, they are not plain black, there is three fluorescent yellow panels

Perfetto long sleeve convertible jacket on the way from Santa (seeing as my missus asked me what I wanted for xmas)

8valve · 02-12-2018 7:38pm

New decals for the steel Colnago and Flandria projects.

And beer.

Possibly Wiggo's ICONS book as well; dropping plenty hints.

Bambaata · 02-12-2018 8:10pm

Got a 820 in the Amazon lightning deal, but might need a new knee to be able to use it

Thanks a million, some great ideas there. I've got some shopping to do !
Hope Santa brings you everything on your lists.

My Wife asked me if I wanted a keter storage box for Christmas so I could get my bikes out of the house during the day ðŸ˜€.

Anyone know if these can fit two bikes.
While I won’t be taking her up on her offer I might buy one myself.
It would be the one that you usually see people putting two wheelie inside.

Lucky you. I’d bring meaning to order it earlier but was away for work and didn’t get a chance.

Have you ridden it yet ?

Is it this one you have all ordered/received?
I collected mine two weeks ago, the weather has been awful since, but i have gotten out on it twice - one 45k and one 25k, i really love it, its my first time with disc brakes and they are excellent.
The gearing on it is excellent too, easier climbing, and quicker on the flat. The weight is lovely, and when you do get out of the saddle to sprint/climb it is very responsive.
Oh, and the saddle is very comfortable too.

T8000 dual sided SPD pedals to replace my A530 ones. Had a few slips using the flat side in wet weather doing adventure races last year.

It'll be spin classes and wattbike sessions on those beast from the east/ recovery days

I keep hearing that God is a woman so why can't Santa be one too?

Marry Christmas to you too.

Santa arrived today with my Christmas / birthday present to myself, a pair of custom Ekoi sunglasses. Ridiculously flashy

He delivered the frame, fork, headset and seatpost. I have mechs, pedals, calipers and wheels already. The rest I have to purchase.

I have the Keter Store it Out Max

You could probably squeeze two bikes in, but it'd take a bit of wrangling and you wouldn't do it with the wheels on. I leave my commuter in it with the front wheel off it and it's pretty snug.

Giant Fastroad 0, collecting it tomorrow to save santa the hassle of getting it down the chimney.

ridelikeaturtle · 21-12-2018 6:45pm

Suntour Superbe non-aero brake levers, very flash compared to the crappy ITMs on there now. I really hope they arrive tomorrow, so I can do some "fun maintenance" on the vintage bike over Christmas. Gonna wrap the bars in blingy gold carbon tape too.
