already on the way Powercranks. I'll decide for myself if they are fact or fiction. Oh..and building up the Kestrel in my basement..finally. And maybe a pair of...ahhh fiscal irresponsibility

A Tempur-Pedic Deluxe Mattress!! :-) Ordered today!! Yippee!!!

hopefully you'll enjoy the powercranks as much as i do. my motivation for the powertap is to help improve my cycling by training more efficiently, but also to test the claims powercranks makes.

Tri Shoes, maybe some S-Bends and rollerblades for hockey.

Sadly, I'm really not buying myself anything fancy this year. Usually I do(a new bike in '02, a Computrainer in '03) but I can't think of anything I really need this year that isn't frivolous(yeah, I'm a Grinch, especially with more layoffs looming on the horizon.) I am buying some cool stuff for my wife. She's getting new furniture(already delivered) a Canon G6(I hope she isn't reading) and a few other goodies. I might buy myself some homebrew gear, but nothing expensive or fancy, maybe a kegging setup in January.

I suspect that Santa will be bringing me a Park PRS-15 workstand. That will more or less complete my workshop, making me a happy camper.

This time of year, most of my money goes into the house. Currently, I am starting to remodel the basement into a gym/bar. One side of the floor will be treadmills, trainer, spinning bike and weights, the other side will be a bar, complete with refrigerator and 2-4 taps featuring my homebrew. I expect the bar won't be done for a few months. It's no big rush, and it keeps me busy in the winter. It is amazing how much money you can spend on your house one gallon at a time. The board of Home Depot should be sending me Christmas cards.

I bought an early present--a PowerBook. Yesterday I bought speakers to go with it. A plane ticket to New Zealand for late February.

Trying to figure out how to swing a PowerTap!

Ironman treadmill by keys fitness, already in my basement and being broken in:)

Ultegra cranks, Ultegra brakes, and a whole lot of little things! Some new jerseys and shorts also.

A new paint job for my bike and a set of S-bend bars. They should be on their way as we speak. Woohoo

A Mandaric road bike. Custom Scandium frame, Easton EC90 SLX fork, Campy Centaur with FSA SL-K compact cranks, and Campy Scirocco wheels.

I must have been a good boy this year. :)

Well, I already splurged and got a Kurt Kinetic trainer and some (lightly) used Zipp 404's (for Thanksgiving I guess? Yes, I'm very THANKFUL!!!), so now the only things I'm getting myself for the Holidays are some odds and ends:

D/A 9spd cog 12-23 for the Zipps - on sale, "only" $77 now .

105 12-27 9 sp cog (for Mt Washington Hillclimb, either next yr or in '06 - hey, for $20, why not get it now, to have, see? ; )

105 13-23 9 sp cog - for sh!ts and grins, $20. Might be nice on a flatter course

HG 11-24 7spd cog for dedicated trainer bike (old mtb) - need harder gearing, 13t small ring ain't cutting it.

Asked Santa for a cheapo DVD player for the basement/trainer, but I will buy one for myself if Santa somehow "forgets"...

and all of the 'twitchers' were snug in their beds...with visions of P3Cs dancing in their heads...

My self-gift this decade is a new bike--53cm Lemond Sarthe. Now someone stateside just needs to order the Time RXS pedals so I can hook it up with those, too.
