Pristine as-new condition, since day 1 always been in a shock resistant case with a gorilla glass screen protector. Shock case included in sale. Its Onyx, ie, shiny black. 5G. Unlocked. No charger (it didn't come with one) but sucks electrons...

Nope, I am still not over my damn cold! I was going to try a gentle spin on the turbo trainer this evening but just walking back from the shops with 6 kg of shopping in my rucksack made me feel rough again. :cry: Fingers crossed for the 28th then!

My sister: "You know that over the past 5 years they had finally finished repairing the awful potholes on the roads that you cycle on round here**?" Me: "Yes - my last holiday at yours was the first one during which I barely had to play 'dodge...

Went for a run this afternoon, and overtook a mum and her maybe 4yo on the way home. 4yo says "I can beat you" and sprints off, way faster than my plodding pace. He stops ahead at a fork in the path, turns, and states, entirely...

A second hand Shimano FC-CX70 crank set in good condition for the Ridley X-Ride. E.

A 12sp 11-36 cassette and a pair of GP 5000 all season tyres for second set of wheels for the new gravel bike. One for road and one for off.

This thing for bike cleaning.

A new thru axle skewer for the Spa elan. I Managed to round off the Allen bolt on the old one! The hardest part was working out the length, diameter and pitch needed so in the end I called Spa.

I picked up a pair of M-Part track wheels with DT Swiss hubs cheaply, with a wheel bag included. They've only been used on rollers, which offers a new brake track. They'll go onto the grasstrack bike.

You just reminded me that I had bought a rubbery gripper pad for that job. I haven't seen it for a couple of years! I will go and have a look for it... PS I just found it, hidden at the back of a kitchen drawer!

I once witnessed someone eating a single fresh tomato with a knife and fork. :eek:

I've got one of those 'multisize' jar and bottle opening thingies, don't know how I ever coped without it.

I discovered that when I was really ill 14 years ago. I was pretty horrified to discovered that I barely had the strength to take the top off a bottle of milk! :headshake:
