I recently bought one of these, really like it and would highly recommend having a look at TrainerRoad if you want some dedicated training routines to keep focused.

http://www.wiggle.co.uk/lifeline-essential-torque-...A set of Ultegra 6700 brake calipers and a set of Raceblades for the road bike. The last wet ride home resulted in a soggy arse, and enough is enough.
If it's possible for brake calipers to look sexy, these look sexy. I'm hoping they'll bite better than the current mushy Tiagra ones, which, in all fairness, don't have the best rep.

My mum has just bought me a pair of these for Christmas!
I've just bought these to go with my eagerly anticipated PH winter Jersey!

I have a pair of those. The pad is much better than the bottom of the range DHB stuff. I chose white, which was a mistake When I was commuting they needed washing almost every other day. I've just bought these to go with my eagerly anticipated PH winter Jersey!

Raceblades are awesome, they'll take a bit of setting up and annoy you on the first few rides but you can put a small screw in to 'lock' them in position once they are just right otherwise they move around a bit and cause problems.Mine have been on my alloy bike for over a year now and i haven't touched them since getting them right and screwing them in place.

I may be over-cautious but it's the bacteria on the pad rather than the dirt on the outside that means my shorts only ever get one wear per wash. Some commute things.
"Weatherproof" tri-bag to save me carrying multitool etc. in my pocket.
More Scotchlite spoke reflectors for the family's bikes, ace little things.
Passed up on a set of these though
..because even though they are only £17.99 at Planet-X, I can't really justify another set of full-length tights.
