Had my bike fit at Condor today. The fitter recommended (so I bought) narrower bars (40cm vs 44cm), shorter stem with greater rise (100mm +7 degrees vs 120mm +3 degrees) as well as lowering my saddle a few mm and moving it forward a bit. I decided to get them to fit a new saddle while they were at it as the old one was 13 years old and past it’s best. Shiny new bits now in place

1 1/8" stem spacers.
They are exactly 1/8th of an inch too big.
I cycle across more than one decade.
I knew it was for 1". :wacko::wacko::wacko:

Shimano SPD-SL pedals and a pair of Boardman Carbon road shoes to replace the SPD shoes/pedals that I'm using now. Don't know why to be honest. I just fancied trying them out. Lockdown has a lot to answer for😊

2 KMC chains for a 2 x 5 Suntour set up. Ordered yesterday for around £15 inc postage & arrived by lunchtime today. Great service from Velovintage.co.uk

Shimano brake cables, Cinelli cork gel bar tape and renewed my BC membership. The brake cables and bar tape are the only things I haven't worked on yet so that'll be something else learned.

A couple of 27mm Vittoria Open Paves from CRC which will replace 25mm Gatorskins
The previously acquired 25mm Paves have gone back to CRC, saving me £10 :okay:

And some heavily reduced red Fizik tape which will go on the carbon if needed by LBS when they fit the crosslevers next week (hoping they can keep the brand new white that’s on there tho)
