Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - what have you asked for for xmas? [bike related]

and what are you getting your girlfriends [not bike related]. because i have not got a clue.

it is in a-nother thread

A two-foot post for dustinlikewhat's seat tube.













And grease.

I'm hoping Satan will bring me a fixie frame - IRO RR or custom equivalent - I don't care which. I'm not getting anything for my girlfriend, but I got some new grips for my wife.

Camcorder, tripod, an umbrella and a can of silver spray paint.

Kinky. I like it, but you forgot to ask whether that's what I asked for or what I'm getting my girlfriend.

wool socks for riding in the cold...

my ex-gf who i'm still friends with already gave me her gifts, which included a laminated calendar with a picture of my bike in semi-silhouette (pre-upgrading from SI Flite saddle/Kalloy Laprade seatpost to SI slr/Thomson Elite so that's the only thing i see when i look at it) and a water bottle holder (except none of my bikes have braze-ons). Thought that counts though.

DeFeet Woolie Boolies are what you need.

The fixed rear 700c wheel my brother promised me 2 months ago...a new seat would be nice.

Suzue promax hubs

Fetish Fixation frame. I don't think I'm getting it though:(

double straps. and a loan to get new rims. too bad my old lady and i are both broke and neither is gonna happen.

my girlfriend asked what I wanted and I told her the Dura-ace cranks my friend is trying to sell to me and a pair of red phil woods...
she said she didn't know what I was talking about....

A Chrome messenger bag. After 16 years with my Timbuk2 I think it's time to retire her, although I'll feel like I'm cheating on it :o :roflmao: :roflmao:

I'll probably get some super duper lame bike related present because my parents are living in Dubia at the moment and we are spending christmas there. I don't think bicycles exist in UAE unless they have 4 wheels, weigh 7,000 pounds and get a mile a gallon. As such there is probably not a single bike shop in the emirate and bike presents will be poor at best.

My grandparents were generous enough to pay for a custom PAC deluxe OS. No idea what the rest of the family is getting me for bike stuff though, I hope there's a record bottom bracket in there somewhere. I think I'll just tie a big red bow around Mr. Happy for the girlfriend as I'm broke.

Redline 925, Specialized Alias saddle, Truing stand.

High flange single fixed Phils. I just have to figure out what rims I want to lace them to.

i just got myself a bailey's super pro. ohh and lastly a set of paul cranks, for my new pista concept i'm building (2003 celes). can't wait

a brooks team pro s from my sister. yay!

I have reason to suspect my parents bought me a roof rack for my (OH NO!) car. I also spotted OneTwentyEight's cycling cap pattern laying beside my mom's sewing machine last time I was over (!).

I'm buying my girlfriend some dental floss, whiskey and underwear. She's easy to please.

Me: Under the weather bag.

Girlfriend (and me): plane ticket to dallas, money for frame building class in Oregon.

new ritchey deep section front wheel and hopefully double straps.

I've been a mean b*****d and not made any kind of hint at what I'd like.

My poor girlfriend. I'm either going to be pleasantly surprised or very disappointed.

a large freight sling

my girlfriend gave a an early present and says there is more coming. She already gave me a super sleek new cat eye light, I dunno what else she has in store. Really puts the pressure on me to find something good for her...I still don't have any good ideas.

the alias is good good stuff.

I bought myself a work stand and some tools. I got my wife a new helmet, some pedals, a multi tool, fixed all the dings in her surf board, and some goodies I can't tell about for fear of the couch. I also offered to clean the house for six months. That alone is good for weeks of wild sex and a green light on a custom frame.

yay parts!

I hear that dental floss, a bottle of whiskey, and a pair of underwear are all the rage this year.

tink20seven = lucky bastard

700c coaster brake rear wheel so that I can turn a fuji frame I rescued from the trash into a frankenbike.

tink20seven = lucky bastard

He's not a bastard....his dad got him stuff too!

I hinted at some drop bars, aero levers, sugoi liners, and endura "humvee" shants. Also hinted at a top-tube pad for my bike.

I'll probably help my dad rebuild his bike (Robin Hood 3-speed) over X-mas too.

I bought an cool old Maruishi road bike, a used workstand and a used truing stand for my wife to give me. I think she may have ordered me some shants, I sent her a link and she was asking me how to pay with paypal the next day so I'm thinking she might have ordered them. I told a couple people I want lights, so we'll see if they come through.

I've done a pretty good job buying myself **** for xmas in the last week, but if santa brought me some double straps I'd be pretty happy.

I'm gonna ride this thing around and personally deliver you all a christmas present. You've all been very bad.

-a nice jacket for my girlfriend

oh and a job..

wanna trade all your presents and free time for my job? Cuz I do.

brother got me: a snowboarding dvd
mom got me: sambas (will be used on bike)
friend gave me: 2 NOS campy ypsilon rims, 28h
i got myself: 2 NOS campy nuovo record HF hubs, 28h

i cannot WAIT to build those badboys up!!!!

I am hoping for some wool bike gear (a nice jersey and some socks) & maybe a set of wheels with the cash envelope proceeds.

Nothing fancy. Asked for Cane Creek aero brake levers (to replace the crappy old stock ones on my conversion) and a wind vest. I think my wife got me the levers but we'll see...

What I'd really like is a Soma Delaney frameset, Phil hubs, and Open Pros. But that's just crazy greed talking. We keep our Xmas gifts modest.

Socks.

Family: Chrome bag?? 42t chainring, new chain, that San Marco white perforated concor saddle Tink is getting!!!! (soo fresh). Bought myself: a new ITM stem, 80's raleigh road frame (I need a new beat-bike), Sugino track cranks. From friends: Pedal book/dvd, quicksilver DVD (a joke gift) and more to come!! I got my girlfriend the Nylon Street Fashion book, and a new sketchbook.


XMAS'06 is going to be the best one yet...
