Today I bought a rachet spanner, to switch my new forks (MacNeil Blazer with a funny head bolt) & fitted my new Demolition front wheel.

Switched from 14mm to 10, took front brake off & cut loads of weight.

Not sure about the colours though...

Yeah, I nicked the idea from an arcade geek forum I'm a member on. Just some whimsical chat about impulse buys, what arrived in the post or you fitted today.

Nowt ever arrives for me on a Monday for some reason. No matter how much stuff I'm waiting for, it'll be Tuesday onwards when it arrives

Think my local posties are all on the lash Sunday nights

My Mixed madras arrived on time though.

Today I bought a stumpy 15mm spanner and a frame bag for the L2B ride...
A copy of Rad Rides got delivered and I had a nice little chat about the footie with my Postie as we always do

Picked up some OS patches, trading cards and copy of an OM signed SE Flyer from the sorting office (via the US) that was part of a trade deal.
Then I stripped and re-greased a set of MKS peds and fitted them to the Kuwie...again for the L2B ride

All good stuff but had to hand over £18 for the customs fee

Wish my frame set from Poland would bloody show up.

This import tax crap does me head in!! the other day I ordered a UBrake adapter from DansComp to the tune of $9.95, when It came to the checkout, and with shipping, this turned into $45!!!

God only knows how much this will cost me when I receive it............
