I picked up the bike from a pre spring spruce up at my LBS, new things included replacement bar tape (like for like, Lizard skins dsp) and a power meter 
It also had a general tarting up including wheels truing, hangar alignment, rear hub service and a few other bits. All ready for the spring.

I had to move my bike to allow me to do some work in the hallway. In its temporary resting position, I could see it more clearly than usual. Not everything was pretty, the remarkably pristine 11½-year-old paint job being let down by a couple of very much older accessories:
A trip to Halfords in Gloucester, and I bagged these for £3 each due to a mislabelled display:
The Coke ones, in their day, would probably have been a better match, but overall I think this is progress.

Not strictly for 'the bike', but for me for 'a bike' - return train tickets and a night in Harrogate in June. A savings plan pays out at the start of the month and I plan to visit Spa Cycles to check the sizing and for a test ride on the Elan to satisfy my Ti addiction.

I bought a Cateye rear light the other day, as well as a Bike Hut rear light. I was going to use them both on the same bike but couldn't find the room, so one will go on my older bike and I'll get rid of the one I have been using for about 3 and a half years. They are so bright....
