So there are all these cool threads with people sharing their anticipation at the arrival of various bike stuff. I can get as excited over an old pair of wood Duegis as I can picking up a new Planet Bike Super Flash. Yeah, it's true.

Hopefully people will populate this with all the cool stuff they are finding.

So, what's in the mail?

(Oh, and local bike shop stuff counts. This is not that debate.)

Here, I'll start.

These are extra long Honjo fenders. I hate the fact that they make it impossible to clamp my fork in a Yakima rack tray for the occasional transport, but these are very good at keeping you dry. Oh, and I have decided I'm not moving fenders between bike projects any more. Too much work. Fenders will stay on any frames I keep.

Damn. I got nothing.

Waiting for a new rear rim for my Double Cross to come in. But that's not new. Just a replacement.

BOB Yak on it`s way.

FatTire and Doc R, I know how it goes- I have one order comming now and ordered about $150 worth last month, but I was close to a year with nothing more fun than new tubes. My wife and I had a "No unnecessarry spending" policy while we saved for an expensive trip that`s comming up later this summer. We finally got it paid for and it sure feels good to do some wholesome squandering!

New bars.

First person to suggest a Japanese alternative gets ignored like all the others.

jersey

New yellow jersey for commuting. I was looking for a neon-yellow one, but don't like the new Pearl Izumi styles. So I got this one on sale, and with my team points, it only cost $20 with tax and shipping.

Got some skinwall Vredstein tires in the mail yesterday to go on the wheels I got in the mail last week... Now my Serotta has proper looking wheels.

Is $15,000 too much for a plastic bike?

Since it's steel, it's apparently realer.

I pick up my Redline Monocog 29er at Excel today. Time ATAC pedals coming from Jensonusa...hopefully today also. Have not told the wife I bought it yet.

Maybe I'll hide it in the shed for a while.

I do have something I can add, now.

I just ordered handlebars for the missing in action frameset.

I used to run 28s on my Bianchi for commuting...heavy as hell, but such a nice cushy ride.
