The best gift for me this Christmas was that my son is taking an interest in cycling and we build up a bike for him to ride. I donated lots of parts and we bought the rest. My son paid for the frame himself. I don't have any pictures yet but here's what went on it:
- ~2000 Giant TCR Al frame
- Reynolds Ouzo Comp fork*
- ITM stem and seatpost*
- Selle Italia Titanium Flite**
- Deda 215 Deep bars**
- Campy Vento wheel set (crappy tires)**
- Campy Daytona FD*
- Campy Record crankset**
- Campy Record square taper BB**
- 2011 Campy Centaur shifters/RD/brakes
- SRAM 10-speed chain
* - Came with the frame
** - My spare parts bin
I also got some art (painting and a sculpture) for the house. No bike related stuff. Oh, almost forgot the most unusual gift; my MIL gave me a pile of dog poop that she had gilded. I'm not sure how to take that one!
