A new Arkose X from Evans on special offer.
Not sure I’ll get on with the (very) flared bars though.

The best thing about today (which involved a 4am wake up and a mini-cab to Heathrow for a flight to Athens to check out two hotels for an event in June, then a flight back and eventually getting home 40 minutes ago) was finding my new Tomshoo titanium wood burning stove in a nice flat package when I pushed the door open (and tripped over the cat)
I think it's very cool.

Re: The post man's been ...
I’ve gone for the GX build so that might be the delay, last I heard frames were on their way and expected mid March.
Weird as I got an email last week to say they were back in stock, by the time they’d come back to me with some details they were back to pre order again. Not sure if they got a small delivery which sold out quickly.
Re: The post man's been ...
Ah fair enough, I only ordered my L frame on Thursday.

... and delivered some o-rings for my knackered Joe Blow. Which would appear to still be knackered after fitting one.

A new buzzrack eazzy3 bike rack, to replace the Thule 9503, which has finally bitten the dust after 10 years of sterling service.

Postie delivered a valentines card that I will give to Mrs B that said 'I love you almost as much as I love the dog'
I did consider the ones that said 'I love you almost as much as I love my bike'
but she would know that's blatantly not true
