View Full Version : What do you want for Christmas?

Just curious. If someone wanted to get you something for Christmas and they had a $100 budget, what would you tell them you wanted?

I always like getting tools. I would like to get a headset press. I would like to get a new stand (although well beyond the $100 limit). I wouldn't mind getting a headset remover.

As far as the bike, I don't really need anything new. Maybe a new set of tires. I can always use those!

Misc gear. I could use a new mini-tool and a new wedge. Since I've started road cycling, I'm constantly moving my mini-tool from my Camelback to my wedge. P.I.T.A.. I could also go for a new lighting system, like the NiteRider NiMH with the H.I.D. light!(oops more than $100 again!)

Oh yeah, I'm using my mtb pedals on my road bike as well. I'd like a new set of shoes or some new pedals.(about $100 each).

What else? I'd like to get a University of Florida Team Jersey or any other jersey. Or a new Giro E2 Helmet. Or a pair of Pearl Izumi Microsensor Shorts. I lost my Smith Buzzsaw sunglasses on my last trip to NC, so I wouldn't mind a replacement set. I could use a cycling specific rain jacket or even a fleece vest for cooler mornings. Even some arm warmers. I can always use a new T-shirt or sweatshirt as well.

Wow, when I started this thread, I though, "I really don't want anything". After reading my list I realized there is always something cycling related I could use. I wonder why my wife thinks I so hard to shop for? ........Hmmmm

If anyone knows my wife, you could forward this on to her. ......PLEASE!:thumbup:

If you want a UF jersey tell your wife to get in contact with Chain Reaction in Gainesville, on University Ave. They sponser the UF team and sell the jerseys, socks and what not.

Burrito Bros yuck!! That place is for tourists and dumba$$ football fans. You want a good burrito go about a block up on 13th to El Endio. Leave the Burrito Bros crap to the football fans.

I take it spic is not a football fan...Ha!!!

100 bucks......

Some shades with Rx inserts would be sweet, but I think that goes over 100.

A bike repair maunual would be nice, but I don't think it would be out-of-date enough for my bike.

A Park Tool mini tool set.

Any Helmet

Tires

Some baggies

Platform Pedals.......I could come up with a huge list!!
