The what did the postman bring today thread.

Though she's none-too-happy that we share a size, this arrived for my wife and I to fight over on windy rides..

Arrived yesterday. Sitting in 2" of what was predicted to be < .5 inches. And this three days after 54F and sunny on Saturday.

At least I can enjoy time in the workshop this week rather than bemoaning snow-covered roads again.

A CNC'd anodized trifle.

Feels kind of nice in the hand. I don't think I'll miss my key ring.

just don't torque your key off with the extra leverage.

high hopes for postman today...as if it could really get better than yesterday.

still got these hopes high....the last tiny little piece of the Corsa puzzle.

Wife wins. That's the law of the jungle.

Rapha Core kit and a tub of chamois creme. The kit feels really good, might try to get in a ride tomorrow or, more likely, this weekend in it.

Starting to prepare for a trip to that Australian high country. We had snow and a fair bit of rain last year so have stocked up on gabba and Nanoflex. Might be overkill, current nighttime temperature is 26° celcius. Last time I ordered one of these I got an XL, this time I'm in a medium. I had to have the XL tailored to fit. They do seem to run big on my tube sock frame. Much better fit this time around.

That small handlebar pouch is actually very nice, leaving room for the hands while allowing you to put a compact camera + small things.

Oh yeah, that's major overkill. I find that the Gabba becomes unbearably warm above 10C.

Compass Stampede Pass 32s for the Zukas showed up yesterday. And today I picked this up at the LBS (I assume the postman brought it to them).



Yep, that's a matte finished, satin-y navy blue. Almost every kit I wear has some blue in it, so this should go nicely with everything without being too match-y. Like a navy blazer for my head.

In case anyone is wondering, after a week of rides I'm pretty sure this is the helmet I've been looking for all my life. I hope the love affair lasts. Though it could be dangerous as I'll probably want to replace my other helmets with more of these...and they're not cheap.

New

New 3D printer for making moulds for carbon frame parts.

New Icebreaker undershirt. Kind of pales in comparison to a 3D printer!

Something round from Georgia.. now the paralyzing debate over which tubeless tires to go with comes to a head.

[chrisn]

Another couple of Rotlicht Bracket mounts direct from Germany (all bikes equipped now, including the Brompton), some NFS lubey/greasey stuff direct from the US, and another Cambium C13 from the UK (Italy originally though I think)

fully expecting a good mail day today. my hopes have been high for quite some time.

I actually picked it up, and only Garro will know what it is, but still.

I'll be curious how long a digital camera last bouncing around in there. Honestly.
