got a helmet that I'm going to return, but I'm still going to end up with a helmet after I do (suggestions? I see everyone in Lazers! but I'm liking the Mavics). got a jacket I can actually bike in, some clothes, an accessory pouch, a nice mousepad, a long sleeve jersey.

Bikes: BMX, fixed gear
I got a pair of Schwalbe Durano's, Fifa 12, the original three Bourne books, way too much candy and junk food, and a few new shirts. Good haul. And I got a little lizard from Scrod with my tires.

So i've been lurking around the forum for awhile deciding which fixed gear I should get. After much researching, I decided to buy a Motobecane Messenger off of BikeIsland (didn't have enough money to buy it brand new off BikesDirect). Anyways, thanks guys for helping me choose my first fixed gear.

Fizik sent me a replacement saddle straight from Italy just in time for the holiday weekend. I was pretty excited.

my silca 20+ year old silca pump has been eating seal kits so i finally broke down and replaced it using a gift card i was given:

so far it has been very nice the 3in gauge, wide base, and relief valve are very nice features but i still plan on repairing the old silca, i just need to find what is tearing the leather wiper.
i also gave myself a gift and participated in the rudy project "free gear deal"
noyz glasses:

i got the laser black lenses and a set of photochromic lenses. my first impressions are great. it is no wonder they are a favorite in the pro tour
helmet:

i dont think it will be as cool on a hot day as my previous helmet but it feels way more comfortable and secure. the previous giro dug in a few places.
the kit also included a hat, tshirt, and bag but they are not as important.
