What has the bike stuff fairy brought you today?
I wasn’t expecting that until Monday.
Oooooh, what’s in the box?
A team edition work stand, from Park Tools is what.
Nice

My old cast iron bike stand, I can take the rubbers off and use it to jig up stuff that I want to weld or braze.
I don't like to carry it far, but on the plus side its pretty stable with a tandem in it.

I had a Lidl special before this one, it’s still going, and I bought it about 8 years ago, it’s astonishing really, it cost about 30 quid, IIRC.

Silicon grease.
Well, to be honest not today, I inherited it 20 years ago, but just opened it today to service the O rings etc in the head of my track pump.
Locking on mechanism now so much better.

The airbrush fairy brought me a bottle of Vallejo RLM04 yellow acrylic paint - does that count?

Waiting for some loctite 641 from a company called Bearing King.
Ten days, two e mails and phone calls not answered- no show on my 10 ML tube of happiness
Then got an e mail from a review site asking for a review of said company and now all channels of communication have been opened as if by magic when i gave them 1 star...full apology and allegedly first class post..whatever
Hopefully the supersix will be in action sooner rather than later.

Took off a worn 24T sprocket a couple of days back.
Should I leave it under the pillow for the tooth fairy?

Colnago Fork Expander (90mm) No more worrying about covering the expander bung with the stem, anywhere on the steerer above the top of the head tube is covered with this. Shame I just went back to a fork with a metal steerer but oh well i've got it now.
We'll always be together, together on electric bikes.

A 3/4 speed SA trigger control to match with a four speed SA FM hub from 1961 to go on my 1961 Sun Lightweight.

Well I’m all lubed up and ready for action:
Semi-Fluid Grease as recommended by Brucey (thanks again) and a Beta 1750M mini grease gun for the Silkolene Pro RG2 recommended by Fastpedaller a while ago.
Cheers, chaps
