i think you are right hamster. i have seen a fair few south of the river, and a couple of the Giant Bowerys, including one in Kentish Town last night. and wiggle are out of stock of the charge plug saddle, which a friend wants for her non charge plug.

Really wanted Richard's Bicycle Book. But never told anyone. Anyone got one they don't want? God knows what happened to mine.

Got a REALLY bad 'multi tool kit' some well meaning person picked up in TKMAXXX. ewww.

My parents bought me the Paris-Roubiax book. My dad also got me some cleaning brushes. I'm not sure if he's making a point or not!

It's not really cycling related per se but my gf bought me a Campagnolo corkscrew. It's superb.

@ Al - that colouring book is amazing. Someone I know got one as a 'secret santa' present, I was jealous.

I did well this year. Swrve pants/knickers/whatever you call them from my missus via Murtle, multi tool thing from my mum, leg warmers from my bruv, a bunch of useful stuff (pump, patches, glue, etc) from my Dad. Oh, and a Park tools pizza cutter, too... Ha.

I've also got £50 in the bank from my missus to spend on 'bike dork shit' as she calls it - anyone have any suggestions?

Santa got me one of those lifeline toolkits that I've been using to take the skin off my knuckles with for the last few days... oh and some windproof gloves which came in handy this morning.

lol round my gaff it's known as 'nerdy bike crap [cluttering up the place]'.
This year's haul from my clan was a Mash DVD, a chain cleaner thingy and a Miche track hub (I had more than a little involvement in the purchasing).
The hub is for my first wheel-building effort which (if successful) will go onto the shoestring build I'm planning for my old Sun GT10XL which has been gathering dust for 20yrs. It will have to be renamed a GT1XL, of course, but will have me riding fixed by springtime.

Got a pair of Zyme 3/4 shorts (again, a little prompting with that one) and the now popular multi tool...

On a slightly different tack I did get 3 badger related pressies as well.

a lightweight goretex jacket from my folks but my bro went overboard with a brooks b17 narrow saddle, matching leather bar tape, a sogreni bell (see picture - pretty funky retro looking things that attach vertically to the side of the stem) and sogerni trouser clips. and i got myself an extra kryptonite mini lock

Mrs Mouse did well: Deda Velocita track bars, cross pull lever, condor bar tape and Rapha ss merino.
Vouchers n shit meant I've also got a Plum hat (cheers SimonC) and a Conti Gatorskin for my back wheel skids (literally, not for Spurs).

I've been a lucky boy this year and got some white oury grips, a shimano seat post, token headset, some MKS pedals and Christophe cages with straps. all very nice and waiting for my build to advance so I can put them on.

Two Matt Seaton books, both of which look interesting, Park Tools book and a Surly Bottle opener. I asked for some Oxfamm Unwrapped but i think my folks like buying "things". I won't be complaining.

Matt Seaton book here too. And The Rider by Tim Krabbe - was excellent. And an amusing book of crap cycle lanes.

one present yet to come - potentially from Rapha...
