Right next to me now under the tree is a huge heavy box from my girlfriend. I'm pretty sure it's a turbo trainer as I dropped a load of hints over the last 2 or 3 months....

I've also got a Garmin cadence sensor on the way I think.

Look Keo blade pedals and toe bottle cages for my bike (already fitted).

On Christmas Day I'll have have some helicopter tape for said new bike I reckon.

Looking to treat myself to a new bike. Pretty set on the 2014 Specialized Stumpjumper Evo but might have to wait until the 1st weekend in Jan before I can get to the shops...

All the crap I don't want to buy myself, I've asked other people for biggrin

Brake pads, tub glue, tubs, cleats, etc.

My prize money for the season usually gets paid in Jan so I can buy the bigger things then wink

CycleOps Trainer from the wife and kids.

And a small pressie to myself, as a winter trainer commuter (end of line / stock clearence picked up for a song):



Man maths in full effect, cheaper to buy this than wreck my Madone commuting to/fro London daily.

I already bought mine a couple of weeks ago. Rockshox Pike 150mm 29er forks. However, I had a spin yesterday morning on a similar bike to mine, but with a Cane Creek Double Barrel air shock fitted, and it felt ace. I think my wallet might be in for another bashing come January.

I suspect that there will be some books - really want to read "Domestique".

Apart from that... No idea. I'd quite like a cap. These ones with the reflective strip are cool. http://www.swrve.co.uk/caps.html

Some Fizik R3 shoes from myself as they were on offer. A Giro Aeon from my mum, I know this as she had messed up buying it so the missus enlisted me to make sure it was right. Some rollers from herself. Not bad, not bad at all.

The only thing I know about is one of those Charge/Surface hoodies that were in the bike bits thread.

I'm sure there'll be some other tat to buy for people who like cycling from a list in a magazine or newspaper. I'm happy with that though, I'd much rather have a load of spare gloves and lights and stuff in a drawer than several copies each of the latest 5hite Clarkson DVD/Book.

The way the surface sheds water is amazing. I spent most of the afternoon finding things to pour on the sleeves just to watch it roll off.

One Industries 'AM' kit, I'm not usually all that fashion conscious when I ride, I don't think I own another 'matching set'. Not sure on the actual design, that's up to the wife wink
