Laser cut roadie for the shop!

I got mostly stuff you guys wouldn't care about, but check this out:



It's a bowl made out of bike chain! From my brother and sister-in-law. So cool.

that is indeed a sick hat

yea, resource revival does some awesome stuff. got my dad a melted vinyl record from them a few years ago. i'm a bit jelly of that chain bowl tho...

That is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Resource Revival: I might have to look into that.

and a gift cert for the lbs!!

We also got a TomTom which was really needed since we found out over the summer on our maiden voyage in the travel trailer that my wife is indeed a horrible navigator!

Happy Christmas all!!

Edit: And a special gift to me from me since I did a 500 mile round trip to see my family for 4 hours yesterday, I already opened the spiced rum!!

Short and long sleeve jerseys, windbreaker all by pearl izumi, giro fingerless jelly gloves, new helmet, topeak frame pump, obnoxiously bright (in a good way) led taillight, merino wool long sleeve, padded mtb shorts, and sigma wireless computer

Merry christmas everyone!

Almost killed myself several times on these already but I'm starting to get the hang of it. Rollers from Performance Bike:

And the other bike related stuff. PB tail light + lifetime supply of batteries for it and black Lizardskins DSP for my next set of drops. My sister said she was throwing out the box the DSP were shipped in and realized there was an army man and a Retrogression sticker Thx skr0ddd!

that's ****ing awesome. rechargable AAA's never hold a charge and i'm almost glad my aaa lights have all but a few fallen under cars.

Got a sweet tie, book, new pair of Vans and more money than I thought I'd get.

This is the first year my bro didn't come home for the holidays (spent it with his other half's fam), so we're going to do the gift exchange when I go visit NYC in a couple weeks.

Yeah, that's a Christmas gift!

Me? 4 pairs of Smartwool knee-high socks, padded cycling shorts, hand knitted wool hat, socks and fingerless gloves. A sweet Lemond saddle from Shopgoodwill.com, a CD, some buttonfly 501 jeans and 2 sets of glove/shoe convection driers.

Mom bought me a rad tie, Dad got me a handheld camera and some King's Pounds (I'm going to England on the fourth to edit a limited-run newspaper, stoked!), and some ****-**** from Spain gifted me the attempt to steal my identity. Bank doesn't open up til Dec. 27, but it's looking like I'm all good. No bike-related gear besides some "honey stinger" waffle Lance gets endorsements from. Looks tasty, at least.

gift for myself a little before christmas. 2012 specialized tarmac elite rival

midget biek!

dat midget biek

raleigh twenty or dahon? i love it. i want a bike friday and it's been VERY difficult not to walk down the street and pick one up.

I got some super sweet lace senor pickups for one of my stratocasters.

New bibs, new coat, some shirts, socks.

lifetime supply of bar tape on sale

I also received a tripod and a camera case, and bought myself some Mavic Aksiums for the roadie.

citizen. i wish bike friday... since they're real bikes with real parts.

for a cheep piece of ****, this is actually pretty nice. rides much better than the single speed dahon. not complaining about free bikes one bit! NEVER

Ortlieb Back-Rollers. They're so freakin' big, I could almost use one as a tent!

Madd tape. I'm guessing this is your favorite. I kind of like trying new tape just to see what's good.


From secret santa with my friends, I got:

A Blackburn Flea USB rear (no offense, but I don't even look at non-rechargeable lights)
Crank Brothers M19 multi-tool.
Freaking SCORE.

Got my wife a Swobo Sanchez single speed in silver.

Sold my Fuji track bike to a kid for what I am assuming was his x-mas present. Probably gonna splurge a bit on:

Velo orange tall stack stem OR
Thomson X4 in silver
Thomson elite seatpost in silver
Fizik Arione or Nashbar GR2

I had to order 3 3-packs in order to get free shipping, which made the deal worth it. I got into a CL buying frenzy a while ago so I have a ton of beat up roadies that will eventually need some slick bar tape along with a bunch of other work as I slowly relist them over time. I'll definitely use a couple sets for my own rides too, though. Its definitely fun to try out new kinds, as you said.

!!!

Now I just have to get my new drop bars in the mail, too excited.

Got some xmas cash too, possibly a new saddle or pedals.

I hope that seatpost and stem weren't powdercoated as well. You might have a hell of a time getting them to fit.

That's a really cool color!
