This week's cycle purchases

[Dangermouse]

Just some helitape patches and brake blocks this week.

 

[Cuchilo]

Been paid so - Now I can tell you all.

Gaerne G Chrono Carbon (road shoes) in a fetching white/blue colour scheme from CRC. They go perfectly with my Garmin Sharp & Garmin/Cervelo team kit.

£120 off in the sale & the exact model I wanted before I bought my Very Loud & very red Giro shoes.

Tried to get them on next day a.m delivery to 'avoid' the missus Mi6 surveillance/detection (@ £12 cost I might add) but no longer an option.

Spoke to a CRC dude in Ireland who says next day service is temporarily suspended & the warehouse are running a day behind on all orders.

'CITED !!

Youre lucky they had two left and not one !

Like a lottery win kinda lucky -

I wanted the left one

Right

Shorter stem (70mm) for the Decathlon Sprint from last week, because it's a bit big and I've short arms. Temporary purchase so it'll have to do. A bottle cage for £2 from Halfords as well and a bike bag for £1.40 from eBay. Last of the big spenders on this thing!

A pair of Conti Ice Stud tyres for £32 unused from eBay, rather than the £50-60 each. I'm collecting them in a week.

So...

A big thumbs up for CRC...

Ordered my Gaerne G Chrono shoes @ 10 a.m yesterday...

Would have paid the £12 next day a.m delivery charge (to avoid detection from the missus) who is at work.
Not an available option anymore &

Lo & Behold...

Post Lady just been at 10 past 1 with my CRC parcel...

Tried 'em on
Fit perfect
No need for any returns/re-ordering faffin'.

All from a store based in Ireland too...
