This has been a bad spring for me and water bottles. Left one in Portland, dropped another when I missed the cage and cracked the lid, tore the valve on another and left (yet another!) in Michigan the other day. On top of that, there are no organized rides, so no possibility to pick up any freebies. I finally broke down and ordered a couple.

Nope. We were visiting our son in Portland from mid-March to early May, and we're just up in the South Haven area at my wife's family vacation place.

Some cheapo bottle cages great since I really need two cages on all my bikes lately I have been draining two bottles on most rides and there are no safe water sources most of the places I ride.

A pair of 3x7 Shimano (China) trigger shifters. List price $10.59, but only 'cost' me some credit card points.
EDIT: They are described as "trigger" but I believe they are actually "thumbies" since there is just the one lever, not two (load and release).

It may be a while before I need to install them, Zook. I got them for my just-in-case inventory.
The price was right. ;>

Two-bolt seatpost for my late 80s Schwinn road bike. This time in the correct size! 
Turns out it should have a 25.8mm post and I’ve been using a 25.6mm post for a while. Clearly I should have been more careful measuring the first time.
The good news is that one of my kids has an old Lotus road frame that takes a 25.6 mm post, and the current post is one of those crummy straight post cheapo types, so I can use the 25.6mm two-bolt post I just pulled off my bike on that bike and adjust the tilt more precisely.

The cycling gods plus USPS have finally updated my order from Germany placed on May 8, 2020.
3 pairs of Veloflex tires have finally been processed thru the Los Angeles facility.

The luscious and lovely Kori, delivered this fork and a rather well insulated frame this morning. It will take a while to get to it and figure out what to do with it, but I'm hoping for a good outcome on this one. Smiles, MH

BTW whos the owner of the Colnago that you were working on?
Say it isn't so....but a sneaking suspicion that....I got my 650c wheel/s today with a set of nearly unridden tires and they are still supple so I am good to go with tires.
I will still buy a few just because I have a feeling that they will dry up like all the others have....thanks for finding them.
Best, Ben

Yes, strange that they are changing the graphics....but at least you have a back-up....do the 700c match, knowing you matching is important

The Colnago Mapei had a seized post and stem. Buddy of mine made a bad purchase on it with a top tube dent. I advised him not to buy. Before I could remove the post he and another person cut it and slammed it into the seat tube. I was able to remove the stem though.

Not quite in the mail...I picked these up today, Thanks to all the members that offered to help me with my search (Bianchi Girl, Noglider, Steel Charlie, Hazetguy, Cudak888, Cynical and a few others)...I found a wheel that was already built which was what I was looking for. I have a matching rear wheel somewhere. 
As new Campagnolo 19 with campy hubs...they will need a cleaning from sitting

This is a "matching" set for the Krono. Only purchased 1 and 1.

Oh Good, I was worried that you were lowering your standards going for a C.
Glad you got the post out!

From Spain and Taiwan to Australia today. Not exactly vintage but will look the part. When I get spokes I'll start my first wheel build.

Here is something weird. I ordered a Rema patch kit from Amazon, and it said the shipping would take a long time. I was not in a hurry, so I accepted. I ordered on May 9, and it arrived on June 23. It was postmarked in France. How they managed to sell me this and pay the postage I can't figure out. I paid only $2.45.
