Nice pair of Outdoor Designs Hut Booties arrived too. 130g the pair and a reasonably robust, waterproof sole.

Scandal (v2), Recon forks (120mm), Works slackset and seat clamp - secondhand from STW.

RS8 cranks from the classifieds (cheers Przemek).

BIke build this weekend - no doubt it'll come to an abrupt stop when I find a sizing issue or insufficient parts in the spares bin

New 'tent' 616g and big enough to sit up and cook in

Six Mood Designs Wild Oasis
Tyvek groundsheet
6 mini guy lines with locks
6 proper 9.5g Mountain equipment tent pegs

Yep, mounted inboard of gear, brake levers for extra hand positions, sort of an extended Jones h bar. Think they will be spot on once my shorter stem arrives.

Hi

Spec is a 25deg backsweep with 685mm tip-to-tip.
The main problem I see is getting hold of them. I believe Ragley discontinued them which seems strange as so many people rate them

Thanks Paul ^ that might be borderline OK although, true, getting them isn't easy. Marys are 640 which isn't borderline.

But also, the postman's been - Funn Full-On bars (750 wide), which are a complete steal at £20 from CRC

A pair of Integral Designs PLQ (gimp) pants. They were a bargain S/H buy and very toasty they are too.

Today I got my pair of Fix It Sticks, a slightly different kind of cycle tool that I backed on Kickstarter a few months ago. They're quite neat, very compact, lots of leverage and only 50g.

Also, a pair of Teva eVent shoes going cheap at Field and Trek. They kindly included a very large Sports Direct mug in a box labelled fragile. They put the box in the shipping bag, so the courier couldn't see that it was fragile, and so it arrived in several pieces. Lovely

He must have been a man-mountain to break one of those badass mugs!! Fine bone china it ain't.

A Thermarest Neoair Xlite has just dropped on the doormat :) Its the Womens size (between a regular and small) and has an improved R value of 3.9 (versus 3.2). I sleep cold so hope it helps improve things
And at 320gm Im saving around half a kilo over my existing mat

Raceface sixc bars. nice wide carbon jobbies.

Exped synmat UL M, comfy it is too

Garmin Oregon 450 - My trusty Etex HCx decided to pack up with the WRT on the horizon. There a bit of a bargin here

Also got one of those cheap 1:50k GB cards from iOffer. Allegedly genuine but as long as it works will be happy man :D

Wow, that is cheap.

My ultralite tarp from tenth wonder arrived today! Excellent service from them! Going to be fun trying to use it for the first time on Friday!

Mary handlebars. Waiting for Ergon grips now.

Spot Mk2. Now my tediously slow progress can be viewed by anyone. :D

Terra Nova Competition 2 tarp. 3 x 2.5m, 494g

I may or may not have it trial-run set up in the living room and be in it

Maps for WRT! Woohoo...

BUch of lighting stuff from Alpkit to add to / replace existing stuff. Their new lanterns seem nice though won't know if they're any good until used properly.

The new "small" headtorch is a bulky thing in the hand (relatively speaking) but again, need to see how it works in the real world.

A folding Ti spork to stay in the brew / bivi kit as always forget regular sporks as the kids take them

One of Stu's stove kits, amazing bit of kit, trying it out this weekend on the WHW.
Also a Sun Race thumbie thing that I am assured is Shimano 9spd indexed, problem is that I have no way of telling as the XT mech that I was going to use it with has lost the spring etc from the mount bolt
Nothing to do with me I assure you Guess I need to buy a mech next then! I wanted a shortie for it anyway, anyone know if a 105 will work with a 32t first gear ok? It's an xt cassette on a Hope Trials hub.
