What cycling related gifts are you getting for Christmas?

Re: What cycling related gifts are you getting for Christmas

That I know of ; a couple of vintage style caps, especially for L'Eroica Britannia, and a couple of books, Wide Eyed and Legless and also Barry Hoban's book, which I can't remember the name of at the moment.

Barry's book is called Watching The Wheels Go Round, IIRC. Must admit, I've yet to track that one down. I also keep meaning to give Hugh Porter's book a look over one of these days.

Vintage caps - definitely a good thing. Although I approve of most modern racing kit, I can't be doing with those baseball-cap style team hats that seem to dominate these days (let's face it, baseball caps didn't do William Hague any favours, did they?). I have a yellow cotton Campag one at home which is 20+ years old now, but looking a bit sun-faded.

NeilM - enjoyed Wide Eyeed & Legless - a good example of the stresses of s grand tour and how not manage a team.

I'm just getting to the end of Roule Britannia and the ANC Halfords team is mentioned, that's what put me onto the book.

What I'm hoping for now is not so much bike related as Retrobike related. I've just broken my Retrobike mug :cry:

Please Santa pop a new one under the tree

more than likely, cav's book, it be xmas 2013's Wiggo book (x2) replacement (still unread)

same here. I'd like the Sean Kelly book if anyone is listening! I seem to have strayed away from bike books, the recent dramatic uptake in cycling has me cynical about any book that comes put now whereas before I'd pick up anything I could get.

I've asked for some Hot Pogs, PDW fenders for the fat bike, a Joe Blow mtn track pump.....and possibly a bucket list bike
