For bicycle stuff? Not that much, except maybe the 2 extra pairs of Specialites TA 'Cyclotouriste' cranksets that I overenthusiastically bid on on French eBay. I suddenly had 3 instead of the 1 that I really needed. They were less than €50 each last year and nowadays they are closer to €100.

Maybe the second Batavus Randonneur GL because it was a good deal, I liked the one I just built and this one was in better condition? Perhaps I will move everything over to the other frame? Some day?

Oh and I have more Sturmey Archer hubs that were smoking deals than I necessarily have bikes for in the future. A 4-speed alloy FM hub with matching shifter, a freewheel drumbrake hub, an RX-RD5 5-speed drum brake hub and (a now in use) XL-RD5 5-speed drum brake hub. Last month I bought an S2 kickshift hub second hand.


Okay, so maybe I have a problem.

I did always have a tendency to buy hiking and outdoor gear because it was a great deal or I wanted it but didn't necessarily needed it. Consequentially, my girlfriend borrowed a lot of my gear when she went out with friends.

I was planning on buying black Lepper Ergo grips to match my black saddle. But now they are unavailable everywhere and their website is down. So I'm not sure they are even in business anymore.
