I've got a £10 off a £50 order code for Tredz so I'll get a standard 160mm one off there when I order a spare bottom bracket after payday.

A bargain Muc-Off complete cleaning kit with various brushes, sponges, cleaners, lube etc etc. A detailers dream infact !!
And a couple of sets of throwaway lights for the kids bikes etc at a mammoth £1.29 a set. Oh; and some supposedly really hardwearing floor paint for the man-cave…

Three jockey wheels to replace the ones used yesterday. Some CR2032 batteries for HRM and other stuff.
Oh, and a new Microshift 10-speed groupset that I'm going to have a play with on a frame somewhere.

A Dura-Ace bottom bracket for either the new bike frame or the Holdsworth Roi de Velo crankset change.

Noticed that Beautiful Wife's bike tyres are looking a bit dodgy, not surprising as they were on the bike when I bought it used ca 12 years ago and it was probably a good ten to fifteen years old then. I've bought a set of Marathon plus tour tyres and will now start a complex round of 'cascading' tyres amongst the bikes, so the most heavily used bike gets the new tyres, and the next well used bikes gets the next set, and so on. Beautiful Wife rides within the local town and not in bad weather, but she'll appreciate the smoother tread of the Marathon plus tyres I expect.

A pair of Gaerne Carbon Road shoes with BOA fastening for £69.99 on Chain Reaction down from £179.99. Just had my size as I'm a 43 in road shoes/44 MTB so went for 43.5. Next suitable size was 44.5 which would be too big with thin socks (summer shoe).

To encourage myself to commute to work by bike (Which I’ve NEVER done before) I’ve just bought a reduced price and relaxed Geometry Fuji Sportiv.
I’ve always had the ‘excuse’ of not wanting to use my reasonably expensive other road bike - and leave on a site with constant welding / grinding / painting going on. Or for doing 16 miles on Tarmac on my MTB….
So excuse free we head into 2023. I’ve been deciding whether or not to for a while. So mind made up - I feel quite excited and am now looking forward to it. I think 🤔

A new front shifter (£167), ordered from Tredz today. LBS says a ratchet is broken in the current one, and his suppliers aren't open until Tuesday, so quicker for me to order it and him fit it when it arrives.
Also a new bottom bracket and pedals for my old hybrid, so I have something to ride until that bike is back on the road.

Looking for "wet" tyres. 27.5 X 1.5. Bit specific, finding stock of reasonably priced and available items is a challenge.

Thanks Andy - and very Happy New Year to you 👋
It’s 7.8 miles (direct) each way in the car.
I absolutely won’t be going that way though. And have a range of ‘scenic’ routes planned of I suspect something like 10 miles each way. Norfolk broads, plenty of Countryside, interesting Churches, I’m right near the sea etc. Should be plenty to keep the brain engaged whilst commuting 😎
