Did Santa put any bike related gifts under your tree?

Santa left me these knickers. They are made by Hector. He find used woolen slacks at thrift stores and turns them into fashionable and comfy knickers.



















I also got this book. It's a wonderful book with pictures and stories about some of the finest handbuilt bicycles ever made. They are all French and cover a period from 1910-2003 with a focus on the period of 1940-1960. If you like vintage bicycles I can highly recommend this.












What was under your tree?

Santa had to backorder the Novara commuter backpack. He thinks it will arrive in 15 business days. I can't wait. Those knickers look great!

I got a sweet, high-efficiency pump. Mom heard about all my flat tires on the Perimeter Ride and did some research :-D

Battery operated speaker that fits into your water bottle cage and plays your iPod. Not a giant sound trailer, but enough for my everyday riding. This thing seems pretty awesome, I didn't even know it existed...

Not under a tree, but behind some storage containers. While visiting family in Indiana yesterday, my uncle gave me a 1975 Schwinn Varsity (Chicago factory) that has been stored in his basement since the late 70’s.
