What have you bought for the bike today ?

[Alembicbassman]

Shimano FD-R440 To allow the use of a 2x9 MTB Flat Bar set up on a road bike with a 50T chainring. Notice the longer pivot arm compared to the Sora FD-3500 to account for the different cable pull between road and MTB shifters.

New bib shorts from PX
chucked a couple of pairs away this month as they had lasted (for me ) a long time and the pad edge was loose as the threads had come loose

Having sold my NeilPryde Nazare, and been on the lookout for a Medium SL / standard one but with no budget, I'm collecting this tomorrow. This is the only photo and it's been on sale for a while, so a cheeky offer was made. I'd have preferred an SL however these are difficult to find. I'm oddly enough picking this up very nearby to where my old one resides now:

It's the same frame construction as the one I had but in red/black and a Medium. I won't need the groupset as it'll get a nice one I've stashed away and a different set of bars / saddle.

My 'Small' one for a size comparison:

The only issue is that the new arrival will probably spend the winter on the family smart turbo; my newly-built Raleigh SP Race needs a minor repair and my 16yo's going to need both his training and winter bikes for the winter.

Just ordered some more candy apple paint, another project on the way, could be another week in the man cave.

A Royce Titanium 26mm Campagnolo lockring, bloody crazy price but I have no choice, they're like hens teeth.

Thanks R.P.
I did wonder regarding the red and the black.
I'll be fitting new alloys in the next few days to replace my very-shabby steels.
They will deserve some decent new brake blocks !

Rain on the way: £25 well spent

Some Kia Satin Silver paint for the Claud Butler. Need to get that frame painted so I can soend a pleasant winter rebuilding it while drinking scotch.

Not bought but had an email from Hunts. My aero wheels which I expected in Week 3 of January when I ordered should be arrive in Week 4 of October Better order a cassette tool and chain whip!

Son no. 2 has bent his TT disc: it'll work in my Principia TT bike but catches the frame on his Argon E-116 as that has less clearance. He's been using my deep section with disc cover instead.

So today I bid late and got a cheap TT disc as it was collection only - hopefully collecting Wednesday.

I've got my new alloy wheels for the Carlton to replace the very scruffy steels.
27" x 1.1/4"
Got them from BankruptBikeParts at a very good price.
The front wheel they supplied from stock.
The rear they built for me using a Milremo alloy hub that I supplied and a rim from stock.
What a helpful company to deal with !

I also bought:
a new 5 speed freewheel
a chain
two rim tapes
a freewheel fitting/remover tool.
a pedal spanner

 

[DCBassman]

Some of these. Quite unusual as they are for 2x8 setups. I was going to botch a 3x8 set on to the Revell, now I don't need to!

A long sleeved base layer, only a Mountain Warehouse one, not a fancy cycling brand
Once I cut out the scratchy label it seems to work ok, relatively mild today, but it was about 7 degrees last weekend and I was warm enough
