Cycling-related Christmas presents

rapha winter hat....actually liking it alot

oooh, I want a Rapha Winter Hat...

I got a book - Vive Le Tour by N. Brownlee...its interesting, just lots of tour stories/legend/trivia...

oh yeah, and a London 2007 tour poster which is kinda retro...framed too...looks good

Mrs Mouse did well: Deda Velocita track bars, cross pull lever, condor bar tape and Rapha ss merino.
Vouchers n shit meant I've also got a Plum hat (cheers SimonC) and a Conti Gatorskin for my back wheel skids (literally, not for Spurs).

think i must have been a very good boy last year - got a really nice Rapha Fixed Backpack. Like some kind of super stealth, ninja laptop bag.

I've been a lucky boy this year and got some white oury grips, a shimano seat post, token headset, some MKS pedals and Christophe cages with straps. all very nice and waiting for my build to advance so I can put them on.

Two Matt Seaton books, both of which look interesting, Park Tools book and a Surly Bottle opener. I asked for some Oxfamm Unwrapped but i think my folks like buying "things". I won't be complaining.

al@creative

i got this, too!
also, my mother bought me a helmet.

Matt Seaton book here too. And The Rider by Tim Krabbe - was excellent. And an amusing book of crap cycle lanes.

one present yet to come - potentially from Rapha...

I almost bought that book of crap cycle lanes at the airport on the way to Poland :)

hippy I almost bought that book of crap cycle lanes at the airport on the way to Poland :)

Ha! I was given that, just remembered!

i got a book on the history of the bike, some philwood hubs, and a book on welding

my mother got me a muji bike toolkit. i chucked it back in her face.

i got an izumi jacket, it's like a quilt, and it's warm. and izumi gloves. and a nike jersey. my neighbour got me them from america where the dollar is worth about ten vietnamese dong. the jacket was in sale for like $50, which is 67 new English pence.

My mum got me Seal Skinz, a new Buff and a track pump. I love my mum. :-)

more rapha here, i got the fixed track top

I got a LAEK ELVS cap, a Bailey Works bag, and a park tool - all from me to myself.
As if my friends/ family would choose that shizzle!

That cap is wicked Prav - v. jealous (altho the Plum one is great too).

Watch out london - theres a posse of 'Plum Gent's about... Yellow, cerise, black - they're all in it together

I got one of these and some Tim Tams..

so what!!!!
:)

I love Tim Tams! Oh, they have a new flavour out too! Fkn awesome!

FOr all the non-ozzies - Tim-Tams are like Penguins, except upside down and Fugly dark brown.

I hate that comparison. Penguins are total shit, like some kind of Home Brand version of a TimTam.

I've had no end of problems with my Ksyrium's not fitting well in the frame, but I think I've just been unlucky. The S-works frame is f*ckin rigid tho, good, good frame. Nice position as well. That needs to get raced.

I was given a suit coat, but I've chucked it back and now have a brand new pair of Sidi Ergo II's coming my way!

Beautiful ain't they!

no!
