Top purchase right there! I love mine, has kept me dry in some torrential rain!

The happy postman dropped this off yesterday. A Berghaus Popena Gilet. Courtesy of winning a competition on the Berghaus Facebook site for this 10 second adventure video of mine :)

Still waiting for alpkit fuel pod.

Or 7.5 of your "black box" ones.

Not from the postman, but collected from the Edinburgh Bicycle Cooperative in Byker yesterday. My new cycle to work bike, even though due to having a van for work that is kept at home I can't actually cycle to work. I've been wanting a bike more suited to road-based camping trips, and for general day-to-day use for going to the shops/pub/gym etc so decided this would fit the bill. Budget was a bit limited due to us having a £500 limit on the scheme (low basic pay topped up with commission, which can't be taken into account for wage deductions) but as it was directly through Edinburgh Bicycle Coop we could still go for bikes that were reduced.

A copy of Fat tyre Flyer by Charlie Kelly. If you've any interest in the history of mountain biking, I suggest you buy a copy, it's lovely

Some geax aka's because they were a tenner at on one, look really good

Some on-one clothing today, arm warmers, socks and a base-layer, all super cheap!

A pair of Northpaw 29er+ wheels on Hope hubs thanks to Travers Bikes, used but look in very good nick.

Sp hub and crest rim new wheel, exposure Revo front light, some new long finger gloves from Endura, Exposure joystick mk9, and a new helmet. Credit card took a battering today!

velocity dually rim for 29+ frontage on a SP hub.
Now just got to set it up tubeless :)

Well not arrived yet, but have just ordered:
- new tyres for commuting bike (there appears to be a mile shortage of schwalbe durano pluus folding tyres in 700x25), ended up ordering from amazon as the usual places don't stock them!
- replacement rear light coz I lost mine in yorkshire.
- new light clamp.

Then i noticed how much it all cost, it adds up quick the price of these bike bits, and that was nothing particularly flash

Used the last Lulu discount code to get the five Cordillera books

My Sestrals quilt from http://astucas.com/en/gear/sestrals-quilt

Shocked by how light it is! Will take some use to gain confidence in its warmth even though I went for the APEX 200 filling.

PS Spanish online postal tracking is not exactly very informative ;-)

last minute back up batteries - thank god for next day deliveries!
