Yep, it's that time of year. Your list, keep it 10 or less, and bike-related.
(and no, I can't list Sandra Bullock on a bike in my living room, so you can't either, get it?)

With a compass in the stock and a thing that tells time.

You're not moving west?

Eventually but first I have to wait out my government penalization for being sick. After I get back to driving in June I'll start saving money for the move.

Milana.

Isn't that the AT&T girl?

I can think of some rooms of my house that I'd prefer to have Sandra Bullock in than the living room.

Carradice longflap bag (Nelson or Camper, surprise me)
Son tb14 wheelset, campy compatible, silver
Honjo fenders
Short stack of Compass tires above 26c (again, surprise me big fella)
Short stack of Vittoria tires below 26c (...yep...)
Set of new Rossi WCS nordic skis (so I can stay fit for biking)
Set or two of Phil hubs
Assortment of modern TA rings suitable for my daily riders
Raleigh Professional, the blue and silver one
Early retirement

I'll be happy with just the first one, really happy with the first and second. Others are increasing levels of whimsy...

Yes, but to me, she's my Milana.

I could use a Black Brooks Champion Flyer, and a nipple driver so I can start to learn how to build wheels. Maybe a wheel building class too. Nothing else really. I'm satisfied with what I have.

I want the custom frameset I was supposed to receive in time for last road season.

Yeah, what's up with that?

Great thread though Robbie. I'll come up with a list in a bit.

Hi Santa, I would really like a nice French frame with a bag of parts to put on it. Some Normandy hubs built on some 700c rims for my French frame. and one ratrod bike.

1, A 74 Raleigh Grand Prix but built in 853, not 4030 capable of running a 28" wheel set built with alloy rims and a SA S3x with a 14t freewheel, 49t alloy crank and GB randoneer bars, Diacomp brakes and levers.
2. a Yokeiseasy titanium 29r Hardtail, 1x10speed
3. a Shimano 105 compact crank 50x34 for my Fuji Stratos and 105 brifters
4. a Shimano 105 single speed crank with a 49t chain ring for my single speed and a new better freewheel.
5. Brooks cambiums for all my bikes

Dear Santa,

I'll take a Jack Taylor Tourist in a larger size, preferably 60-61cm with full racks and fenders If extra good, maybe a Peter Weigle.

1. The time and motivation to complete every bike project sitting in my basement, garage and garage attic.
2. People who want to ride with me next year so I can finally get my mileage up to 3000 for the year.
3. Big Apple tires for my wife's Catrike Trail.
4. American to Euro bottom bracket conversion for an old blue Varsity that is getting rebuilt.
5. Marathon Supreme tires for every bike I intend to keep.

1) a new mtb that's not an alivio equiped bso.
2) a commuter Brompton, and a job to commute to.

That's all for this year.

All the goodies I need to complete my Torelli Pista!

Sweet Pista!!!

Not totally sure. Based on what I hear it'll be worth the wait. Just hope it's not too much longer

Good morning,
After a good night's sleep and reading more of your lists, I would like to amend my list (clear thinking prevails).
- new liquid paint job for the Sekai Bigfoot
- a bike that is designed for 650b wheels that is not new - at least from the 1960's to early '90's.
- a bench vise & appropriate place to mount it
- supply of various interesting bike fenders different sizes, colors, etc.
- various quality tires in sizes - Big Apple, Ruffy Tuffy, etc.
- endless supply cables, housing, ferrules, tips, etc.
- would love to stumble upon a bike that the owner or I don't recognize as a true classic, that's a good fit, all original, and that they give to me because I helped them out in some random way. Later to find out its a real gem.

And finally, I would like a continued zest and enthusiasm for tinkering with, rejuvenating, and revitalizing old bikes.
