Postie has dropped off my Alpkit Framebag and silicone grips for my Fatty, both in fluro Orange. Can't wait to get shot of the god awful lock-ons. Why anyone would be prepared to give up all riding comfort just to save 60 seconds on grip fitment is beyond me.

stove/windshield arrived today thanks stu, will test later

Monkii Gorilla Cages - test run on a pump tracked :)

Geary bits for the krampus

some nice on one og bars, to go on my new bike, when it lands.......

and some nice merino socks, 3 pairs for £7
and a new beanie.

XTR RD & a pair of XT rotors.

Bought a Thermarest NeoAir Xlite in the New Year sales - 346g for a full length mat!!

Means my Quilt/sleeping mat/down jacket combo comes in at a very respectable 1026 grams. Not bad given the warmth and versatility.

Serious sleeping equipment has arrived :)

Garmin Forerunner from Zippy - cheers fella!

Looking forward to having a play with it later.

A big box of XT shifters, XT cassette, chain, XT shadow plus rear mech all from CRC with a saving of about £90.
New rubber bots for my BB7s and a 180 adaptor for the front and a laptop battery, so that I can spend more time on line discussing bikes than riding them.

Got back to blighty this evening to months of ill advised purchases.

These included:

- 3 pairs of Sealskinz gloves
- Sturmey Archer 'duomatic' wheel
- Columbia fatbiking boots
- Charge 'Spoon ti'
- Trail Magic book
- UK fat biking T-shirt

Not a bad haul!

Feathered Friends Snowy Owl ... sounds like a kids sleeping bag and admiteddly I had never heard of them when I found this bag on gumtree but google it .. insane rating.

Feathered Friends Snowy Owl

I can only imagine how expensive that was ... but perhaps only for the original buyer

Just looked it up - that is one serious sleeping bag!

Nice work Sherlock .. But I only paid £150 :)

I genuinely only stumbled across it looking for specs on the bag, thought I'd found another that I could buy

That's quite a bag and a great find on gumtree! Do you know the story behind it? What adventures it was used for?

Bag was bought to climb Mt McKinley then stored ... Few years old but in great condition ... Never seen anything loft like this thing :)

SilTarp 1 (thanks to Fantasticmrmatt bargain alert) and a XT external bottom bracket.

Couple of days back now, but these two as well as pair of 16GB Sandisk Extreme Pro SD cards.

Not a purchase, but you're ever questioned you now know what to do
