They look a bit like the infamous campag deltas.

Lots of bits today:

4 sets of cleats, with an eBay offer
16 inner tubes
12 rolls of Velox rim tape since most places are out of stock
A pair of brake disc rotors
Some copper grease
Track nuts
A pair of impossible-to-find TRP adjustable brake noodles
Some carbon brake pads
A couple of very small track sprockets (12 and 13) as we'd not got those

Have received a number of items from SJS (Very good service !!)
Sunrace 5 speed freewheel (14 - 28)
A couple of KMC speed links
Park Tool MLP-1.2 speed link pliers
Sunrace 3/32" 116 link chain

A few jobs to be done very soon.
I'm wanting to fit my replacement Zeus rear DR.
Also replace my 14-24 freewheel with the 14-28.

These two from eBay for my Wayfarer, just waiting for the brake blocks and cables from SJS and I can get out for a ride on it.

I have heard these are a worthwhile upgrade over the original Raleigh callipers.

Parcel waiting for me on the kitchen table today, from Planet X

Which isn't bad considering I ordered late Tuesday afternoon (maybe 17:00), only paid for standard delivery
New lights, for when wife starts commuting again
Daughters b/f borrowed her front-lights, then had his bike stolen, so I reckon he owes me the cost of these

1. I appear to have got the last 'Burn Baby Burn' (double LED) in stock, as it's not listed anymore

The 'Burn Baby Burn' has gone onto my CGR, as the https://www.halfords.com/cycling/bi...lfords-200-lumen-front-bike-light-253302.html that I bought started turning itself off!!

The problem is, that with the gusseted top-tube, the battery pack slides
I think I'll put a square of old inner-tube between the two

A couple of Lezyne Zecto Drives - front and rear. I have a few chinese copies that have stood up to loads of mud and they are my backup on the MTB at night. The Lezynes, are the 250 lumen ones, the rear being a 'Max' and a bigger battery. Main thing is they have a daylight mode, and will be going on the Ribble as my other lights are too big for the bars with the Garmin in the way. Decent Price plus discount code from PBK.

Had a few slow punctures and stuff recently
and tyre pressure has been variable and my normal pump that I carry about in case of problems is quite uncomfortable to use

So I have finally got a pump that stands on the floor - could be called a track pump or something

but it will be a lot more easy to use that the other pumps I have
so - basically I now probably have 4 pumps - unless I have forgotten one

don't tell my wife

A Campag Mirage 10 speed groupset

Grabbed myself a new work stand!

@ebikeerwidnes - you can never have too many pumps. I think we've 3 track pumps and a stack of mini pumps.

My purchases over the past few days have been a bit ... mirrored:

• Sold a pair of almost new Ritchey wheels on Sunday, so bought a pair of used Superstar Components wheels yesterday.
• Sold my Giant Trinity TT bike on Saturday, so bought a bike on Thursday for a neighbour, that's back on sale because he won't fit.
• Sold a Youth cassette, so bought a Junior cassette yesterday. Only 4 Youth cassettes left to list on eBay /elsewhere and sell.

I work on the same principle, bin one to win one!

my Mirage groupset was funded from stuff I sold

I’m not sure how effective a cardboard box will be for a work stand.🤨

I've not varnished it yet, give me a chance I'm saving up for a brush!

The last few days:
A Fizik Tempo Argo R3 Kium (what a silly name) road saddle;
A Sportful Fiandre Pro Bib Tights;
A Sportful Supergiara Cycling Jacket in Blue.

The crappy weather made me realise a single jacket and tights for winter use was just not enough. That's my excuse anyway.
