Joining the white helmet, socks and shoes gang.

Have been waiting for these to come back in stock. Thought I’d grab 2 of them!

Live music even!

Thank fuck it wasn’t in my size!

So close but so far. Been looking for some carbon S-WORKS cranks for the SL6, these were a bit too beaten up (a steal for $80 though!).

Campagnolo bits!

Celeste man.

Steel is real.

Lovely.

$10!

Also ducked inside to check out their shop. They’re doing God’s work here.

Today I went down the road to check out the Revolve ReCYCLING Wheels & Deals Market. Revolve ReCYCLING recover, recycle and redeploy bikes. They give new life to old rides and give hundreds of free bikes to kids as well as employ people from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Was a great day out, great vibes, good people and lots of treasure to dig through (you know what they say, one man’s junk is another man’s treasure!).

CarbonWorks founder claims Topeak bike bottle cage infringes brand’s own design.

As a designer I know what it feels like to have your work ripped off by others, in this case Topeak, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of cycling accessories, has clearly ripped off the CarbonWorks bottle cage.

So what do you do? You support the OG. At 112,50 € it’s the most expensive water bottle cage I’ll ever buy, but hey, Art isn’t cheap.

Wake up. Coffee. Eat. Shit. Ride.

PS: No. I will not shave my legs.

A while back I spotted this 100mm -12 Extralite stem on FB Marketplace but the seller reduced the price and thought I’d buy it in case the 120mm -6 didn’t work out.

May all the beauty to be blessed. Ah bless the Chinglish! Gotta love it!

My order for the Cadex bars through my LBS got refunded (out of stock) so I found these EXS R175 Road Handlebars on Panda Podium. Bit heavier than the Cadex, but quality looks really good.

Check the weight on these bad boys! Free socks! First time dealing with Panda Podium, and man these bars got to me in 6 days. So quick! Very happy.

We did it guys! The unicorn! The elusive Cane Creek eeBrake adapter for the SL6 Tarmac. Such a tiny little thing for such a massive headfuck!

Test fit. Yes, perfect. Hnnng! So happy!

More goodies for the SL6 came in the mail today. Super close now!

Hylix seatpost came in the mail today!

Condor Ti Skewers.

Sexy.

Some more parts for the SL6 came in the mail today. Almost there!

Today I took delivery of a set of SL6 specific Cane Creek eeBrakes which I sourced from Cycling Upgrades in the USA. These have been an object of desire for me for many years (just never had the right bike to put them on!), they’re insanely light and I love how mechanical they look (form follows function!).

I’ve yet to get my hands on an adapter I need to get the rear caliper on the bike, but I have one in transit en-route from Carousell in Singapore.
