That needs a nice glazed display box

I used to have a pair of Magura espresso cups and saucers, but I gifted them to the bike mechanic I've used for decades, as he had a pair of Campagnolo espresso cups and saucers. They're now in his display case in the shop.

TBH I'd either have broken/chipped them, or they'd have been consigned to a box in the depths of a cupboard. At least now they're in a better place.

i suppose when you're in the trade you do get a bit more stuff, blagged etc

andy from gearmechhanger sent me these the other day, i pretty much get all my hangers from him, and a fair amount of bearings etc so he sent 2 bottles, a mug and a pen

oh i'm on a mission now, i was looking for one pic and i found another thing i forgot about!!

recycle and bicycle have loads of old parts and tubes off me for their projects, they jokingly made a whip for a laugh, put it on their website and those crazy germans went mad for it! it became a best seller but they had to do an alternate page for it for pervy reasons! but they gave me one for a laugh!!

so here's the gripwhip!!

I was given this as a freebie when buying a load of bits from a trader. I always thought it was a bit of a random product. More imaginative than a LYNX Alaska gift set at Christmas though.

this was the pic i was looking for when i found the gripwhip pic, obvs i build a few bikes for Tom at Demon frameworks, a while ago he brought me this "beer glass", made from stainless steel, it was just a gift for building the bikes. it weighs a tonne and i love it!
