Look what I just got in the post

Planet x have just sent me the appropriate barrel they forgot to put with the brake. Actually they sent me three of them, plus a couple of random bolts, and an allen key. Good work!

arrived just too late to be of any use to me today, but at least I've got them now.

are these the fsa aero wing anatomica bars?

currently 10 quid on planet x and thinking about giving them a try. how do they stand up? you happy with them?

I want a nice comfy road bar to use on the track bike for the longer rides/track sessions without spending a lot o money.

it's £10, give it a try anyway.

they aren't the anatomica, they're the compacts. am happy with them though, now have them on three bikes.

I know you;re excited, but that is a lock and some bartape.

That glow in the dark bar tape was bloody difficult to find at a good price, I nabbed the last roll from some poor innocent.

Would you rather have photos of the wheels from varno?

Arrived at work after a day off, and everything I had ordered online/bought on the forum over the last 7 days has turned up. It's like Christmas :)

For the road bike, some Planet-X Pro carbon forks (replacing some PX bladed carbon forks as the steerer is a little too short).

For the 60's track frame, a Tange Levin 1" threaded headset, MKS double straps, and some forks from a forumite.

For the Pompino, some Koolstop Salmon pads.

Also some JOL straps and an SDHC card bought from some nice folks on the forum :)

Arrived today from Spain: NOS chain ring Campagnolo BCD 151 mm, 48T, 3/32".
I've been after a 151 mm for a very long time (affordable price, not necessarily new), but after a couple of months, I have one in my hands.
2 pcs should be still on the way (also a few months now), as well as a 144mm.
I'm afraid that these 3 will never show up, so I may have lost some money there.
Anyway, finally I can finish my project :-)

Very nice, I love those ones.

why 3/32", are you into that sort of thing, Dutch Cheese? =))

My parts bin says 3/32" 151pcd was the hot set up for the 1x6 drivetrain of your TT bike back in 1969.

To be honest I don't give a shite, I would take everything I could get with BCD 151.
I didn't know what I bought this time, untill I opened the package.
But it's convenient, since most of my chain rings are for 3/32" chains.
I do have both 1/8" and 3/32" sprockets (all regular teeth no), so I could live with both.

Back in '69 I was timetrialling to elementary school and back on my 20" SS bike with coaster brake. Chain ring was 1 piece with RH crank arm. Didn't want to bother my father with gear changes then.

Wound-up Team X custom disc forks.

With (ahem) fender mount.

why do you need to many rims?

why do you need to many bikes?

Nice haul there Gleb! Surprised you're getting post, aren't things a bit challenging your way?

Tasty pair of Wound Ups Howard.

and here's what I got in the post.....

Yes, Fuck all!! Hurry up and deliver my bars you sods!

Meh, Ben. First of all I moved to Moscow, Russia. Secondly, yes, shipping to here is expensive, however one cannot refuse himself... =))

Very nice haul - what's the build?

Course you have G, wasn't thinking. Remember you mentioning it around the time of building that badass Miyata Team Pista.....a while back anyway, duh!

There's no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothes

thanks tester
in fact, strangely enough, things are just as cold in Kiev as they are in Moscow these days, it's now a bit warmer today than rest of the week, around -20 only
