Some new brakes for my bike, Shimano BR-650's, with longer calipers.
Not cheap though
My mechanic has some of those in stock but he's asking 80 quid a pair!
Let me know how you get on with those, I've been thinking about a brake upgrade myself, something like a Dura-Ace (I really like the DA gear), if my wife will let me spend the cash.

I recently had to crawl through them to find just a caliper set (they're mostly sold in full sets here) and the starting price was around 12'000元 - that's 1'200GBP!
If, in future, I plan a self build, I'd definitely consider a full set, but then the frames I've been looking at are around 20'000-30'000元, and I wont even start on the wheels!

Since my wife didn't like me buying books to add to my already overloaded bookshelves I convinced her to let me get a used Kindle. Two days and $50 later a 4Gb Kindle Touch was mine.

You'll be looking for more storage soon enough.

Used tubes for used tires @ $2.00 ea. Now my second bike doesn't sound like a freaking TRON light cycle when it's a-runnin' down the path.

Just remember it's better than crashing without a helmet 
I have a frankenstein-looking scar in between my ear and head from not wearing one.

Looks good. It'll keep the family happy t0o, I bet.
I bought mine to shut my wife up but after cutting my hair it no longer fit correctly. It was a really expensive Specialized as well and it couldn't have done more than 100km. As good as new to be honest.
I could have sent it your way if I'd have known you was in the market for a skid lid.

Oh well, not to know mate but thanks anyway. 👍
Yeah, the helmet is the most important part. I should have really got a better one a while ago. Honestly I didn't have any confidence in my old one.
Bronny is very supportive of my cycling but last night she said she does worry a bit about me getting knocked off. Was kind of the catalyst for me to go shopping today.
Isn't Neal on his third in a year, or something like that?
He sure is lucky he uses one!
Didn't he totally crack one?
Much better the helmet than the skull.
Cheers Shaun.

Thanks.
No Shem I quite like it as it gives a bit of contrast. But I was thinking about carbon mirror covers. But they cost a grand
and if they get nicked
...
But still an option as is a black single frame front instead of the matte alu one...

I have to say, I've been through several Android phones (HTC Desire, Galaxy S2, HTC One X, Galaxy Note 2) and have to say this is the best phone of them all so far. There is a few little things I miss such as the dedicated menu button and a few things work a little differently due to the Sense interface, but it's nothing you don't get used to after a couple of hours.
The two main things that impress me is the build quality and the screen. Definitely by far the best quality android phone I've held and the best LCD display I've come across. The One X's display always slightly disappointed me after coming from an AMOLED display of the Galaxy S2's, but this one has more punch than the One X's and is pin point sharp like the iPhone's display.
Definitely recommended.

Whoa!
Man, I've been scratching my bald head all day long...
Thank you. Seriously, thank you.
Now you can enjoy the Premo photo thread.

I've been looking at these Twin-Time's for a long, long time but Tag's are overpriced for what they are IMO. But, I happened upon a deal too good to pass up so time to start clearing a slot in the watchbox 👍
