Cycling purchases 2019

[mgs315]

Maybe a cheap CX or gravel bike. Would retire the Triban commuter if that happened.

Would also like some nice Hunts for the TCR.. unsure on whether to go for the Aero Light Discs or splurge on a set of 50 carbons..

Apart from that nothing much really. If I see a cheap as chips fixie/track bike I might jump. Same goes for a proper smart trainer (dumb plus power meter here at the mo).

Nothing major anticipated, except maybe some Ortlieb panniers. Will need a chain and probably cassette for at least one bike at some point

 

[Blue Hills]

Same here. Given up on all that N+1 nonsense.
Some inner tubes, chain lube, squirty stuff, and possibly some summer tyres. That’s yer lot!

Am nearing that state, though I do have somewhere approaching ten bikes in three places. It is possible I won't be buying a new bike again - but will be doing more cycling and exploring. Will soon be getting some mudguards from Rose of germany along with consumables to keep the bike collection running and hit the free postage level. To fit with motley other bits and a nice frame I picked up for £21.

Some new winter gloves - mine have gone mouldy as I forgot to dry them out properly after a damp ride.

Evans in Kendal is closing down on 18 Jan so I might toddle over and see if they have any in their sale.

I have some Evans FWE ones which are pretty good and have been on clearance

I am considering going the other way and getting a road bike. I don’t use my Boardman CX comp for commuting as I now drive in. I’ve upgraded a few bits to carbon. Interested in a swap?

Hah alas you wouldn’t want this Triban, was only £200 new and I’ve abused it a crazy amount.

I've just gone for a new lower-geared chainset to help me get up hills a bit better this year. Nothing expensive, just a cheap one from Spa.

But a perfectly good one I assume. My favourite bike has a Spa chainset. Rejoice, quality (as opposed to bling branding) can be cheap.

Yes, it seems fine - excellent value.

There should be a new Surly Long Haul Trucker frame waiting for me when I get home next week

 

[Trialot]

An Elite Direto turbo trainer reduced from £769 to £599 from Athlos Triathlon. They have a sale on this month with everything reduced! Help me get back up and running again after a long back injury!! Might even try Zwift!!!!

Spurred on by this thread I've just bought pedals, a chain and bar tape from Merlin.

 

[huwsparky]

Maybe a nice rain coat, unbelievably pricey though

Silca tool roll ordered which will be amazeballs.

Two big ticket items for 2019:

Hub dynamo set up for best bike.
Respray for audax bike.

And loads of super lush Cafe du Cycliste gear!
