Bought some of those humvees a while ago
Much lighter than normal humvees, they're nice but annoyingly have no back pocket!

I think my Borah bivvy bag is at the post office. Just need to pay £14.43 and it's mine after 2 long months of waiting. And on Tuesday I should receive some leg warmers, some overshoes and some new gloves. I can't bear the anticipation!

My new & unbent gear hanger has arrived for the Fargo. That's tonight's entertainment sorted.

Re: The post man's been ...
Borah bivvy is here! It's blimmin light, but it feels too flimsy to last more than 5 minutes - I hope it's tougher than it feels!
Looking forward to a trial night in it (it has a bug net as well, so it will be great for Scotland

As above, my Borah Gear bivvy arrived today (actually I had to go collect it and pay £14.43 in customs duty) It took five weeks from order to delivery. Cost was US$85 pus $25 postage and the £14.43 so £80 all in. Only time will tell if that's good value - as slarge says it really does feel pretty flimsy. Giving it a test run this weekend up near Cannock Chase.

Sorry
Though given what a soft southerner you are there's no chance the weather was warm enough for you to use it yet
I got some shorts with heavy crotch wear caused by another man
and a riding cag that's going to be great, in the winter
. Cheers Chris

Shure headphones iPhone lead, 2x space blankets, and a GorillaPod so I don't have to carry the big tripod on the bike.
Just need to go pickup my new Hope Ceramic BB fro the LBS this afternoon.

Ive been eyeing Luxe stuff on bplight for ages, especially the Mini Peak. Cant bring myself to pull the trigger though, not with a TN Laser Comp in the cupboard that doesnt get much use as it is. Hope you enjoy it.firedfromthecircus wrote:Luxe Mini Peak II for me today.

Cheers TBD. If I had a TN Laser Comp I probably wouldn't have bought it. It was between the Zephyros 1 lite, the SMD Lunar Solo and the Mini Peak II for me and the Mini Peak won out. Test pitch in the garden was a success!TheBrownDog wrote:Ive been eyeing Luxe stuff on bplight for ages, especially the Mini Peak.

Dirt baggies and bibs. Look really good and baggies are nice and light. Bibs a big kinky though for wearing without the baggies as there all mesh
Great service too, free postage, they emailed me to confirm sizing and it arrived within the week from USA with no duty to pay

After John Climber mentioned them in February, I placed an order straight away for some BB7 rubber boots. They've just arrived! I'd totally forgotten and assumed the order had been rejected as they were OOS!
