Your frivolous purchases, stuff you don't need...

San Marco Aspide Superleggera



I don't need a new saddle for the road bike. At all. It has one, I don't find it uncomfortable.

But. Look.

All handmade by one chap in Rossano Veneto, Italia.

109 grams or less guaranteed.

Cleaning kit for my Camelpak tube and bag. The amount of gunk that came out of the mouthpiece was shocking..

[markmullen]

I am about to start doing a bit of power boating and my Omega moonwatch isn't waterproof so I thought I'd get another watch. 1000m water resistant and made from submarine steel ought to do the trick!



So now I've a watch certified for manned space flight and another certified for water so deep your head would implode.

Haven't done it yet, but I've put the money away to fly to Poland, buy one of these and drive it home.

Well documented, photo heavy blog please.

I have to clean mine after every use. I can taste the difference if I don't.

Ooh I want one of those. Can you get smaller diameter tubes for camelpaks, and do they make it easier to get the liquid through? I find I suck for ages (oo-er) before I get anything in my mouth (oo-er). Would a smaller diameter pipe make it easier? It'd make the drink last longer at least.

I will pay for your curry and a beer if you bring that car to me!

I hate this thread, just ordered myself one of these. Was nothing wrong with my old Protreck but that does look nice.

I'd bought it off ebay, turned out the seller is a , suddenly wanted me to meet him at Liverpool with cash

Back to the drawing board!

Pleasure, makes life a lot easier. You can get insulated pipes too...

A pair of these:



At £300, they were decidedly questionable.

At £40 they are rather nice.

First for me, buying audio equipment in TK Maxx.

Still waiting on my frivolous Kickstarter 3D Printer to arrive.

Ah, a roland microcube, I have one of them

Logic3 Ferrari T350 ANC headphones.

Looks like the licensing deal drove them into bankruptcy, so they are around very cheap at the Mo.

Reviews were mixed as to sound quality, at the price, but every review commented on the quality of build and finish. Real leather and aluminium, they are certainly put together well. They'll mainly be driven by my phone so not an audiophile purchase.

There's a review in the hi-fi section here:

Ferrari branded headphones, TX Maxx is exactly the kind of the place where you would expect to find them.

What are they? Link please.

Were they in store?

Any TK Maxx?

I want some of those (at £40).

I'd be tempted at £40 too, so long as the Ferrari badges could be removed without leaving a mark.

[Justayellowbadge]

Yep, in store, but gone in my local now.

Quite a few on eBay, with chancer tax added.
