Bought OH one of these. Not bad quality and great value for money. Even better if you are a Small size as they are £8. OH is 6ft and around 12st and the Large is a good fit. I'd get one for myself, but being new to cycling I want something fluorescent as I am still at the 'scared of getting knocked off the bike' stage.

They change the prices round quite a bit though - Large was £8 last week.

A hope bottom bracket
A set of blue hope callipers
A pair of vittoria tereno dry tyres
Lizardskins bartape
A gold kmc chain
Sure there must be more. I’m building a bike this week

A new Conti GP5000 for the rear as the old 4000 is knackered at 5000km or so.
A tiny rucksack. I’ve been e biking for 2 years and have just bought an unpowered road bike.
On the e bike weight doesn’t matter and it’s loaded up with panniers etc but nothing is going to be bolted onto the road bike and I need somewhere to carry waterproofs and chocolate!

New rear derailleur - an Acera upgrade from a Shimano TX35 - to replace the one that shattered today on my Raleigh Pioneer.
Mudguards for the new Kinesis frame. I've gone with the Fend-Off guards from Kinesis - it was a choice between those or some SKS chromoplastics. Ended up going for the kinesis ones as they are designed to work with the frame and they will fit up to a 32c tyre allegedly. We'll see.
Plus I managed to order some online for less than the comparable SKS ones. Should be here some time this week..

So you're adopting my "run them on a shoestring" approach to cycling then..... Actually, you've outdone me, because I had to pay the extravagant sum of £4 for a pair of lightly used 26" x 2.0" Schwalbes a few months ago.

Just my usual tour of the local recycling centre! Am happy to buy new bits as well, but opportunities like that are firmly grasped!
