The "what bike bits have you just bought" thread

[murray]

It got it for about £3,350, down from £4,200. Looking after I bought I see that most places have it at £3,700. I had no intention of buying anything, was my wife who pushed me into it but it does look lovely. Don't like the look of the new one at all.

Wore my trade team Rapha jersey this morning. Best jersey ive worn by far (and we all know I'm a Rapha we!!). Skin tight, but not 'tight', very aero, and barely knew I was wearing it. Superb

Looking forward to building this up. Something a bit different.

Ordered a set of Fulcrum 3's with tyres and tubes for a really good price. Looking forward to the upgrade :-)

That's lovely. I had the same art on my Colnago CT1 from many moons ago. I built mine with Record and Chorus parts , with handbuilt record hubs to Mavic rims, as before the time of everyone making factory wheels, as such, although I put some Shamals on it, but were very heavy , they were stunning looking wheels.

[RGambo]

I've gone for super record RS for the group set. Wheels are record hubs with ambrosio croon tubular Ali rims. I don't usually run tubs, but I just thought they suited the bike. It's not going to be used a massive amount, just on sunny days out for a spin.

Has anyone bought Stolen Goat shorts?

Oh good, another manufacturer of what looks to be pretty good cycling gear I wasn't aware of but now am. Just what my bank balance needed.

From Wiggle? I'm tempted too.

Just got some winter boots to replace my old ones that have seen 6 years use..
Well worth the 90 quid to keep my feet warm!

I could ask the same question about http://www.solocc.com/ but then again perhaps you already know about them.

I emailed Stolen Goat yesterday, there director emailed back at 6am this morning answering a query about the pad in the shorts, comparable with the market leaders so may go with http://stolengoat.com/product/blockhead-mens-bodyl...
this lot.

My latest order has just arrived, a set of Ultegra wheels and new SPD SL pedals for the CAAD10, some arm warmers and a load of consumables like cables, bidons, gels and drinks. I'm looking forward to seeing if I can notice the difference on the new wheels compared to the borrowed Mavic Aksiums it's on at the moment.

Much (or maybe even all, I don't know) of Stolen Goat's range is Bioracer made, the guys who Gruffy used for the latest round of PH kit. I think we all thought it was good stuff, if that helps.

Thanks SixPot, may well go with those.
