A bike, I have been bikeless for bout 1 1/2 years now. Even a crappy hand me down huffy would be nice. I miss being on two wheels soo bad.

300mm F2.8 IS mmmmmmm
:drool:

What is that?
It's a 300mm telephoto lens, f/2.8 (that's a huge aperture), and it's image stabilized which means some of the internal elements move around in an attempt to compensate for camera shake.


I need a new watch but I don't really need much else. After a while of racking my brain I think I came up with a dozen things on my list.

Well... I need the new Nikon D200, too. :p

I don't need anything.

I'd love a trainer, a headlamp, and a pair of baggies, but I won't get any of it. Christmas is now about the kids, not the parents.

There is a set of Cannondale gloves I want really bad. Other than that I just told people to get me GC's to the LBS.

I cant wait for my Xmas present to me. Last year my Heckler got a nice round of upgrades that included
Mavic Crossmax wheelset, XT cranks, SRAM x9 drive train, and Magura Louise FR brakes.

This year I am thinking
Upgrade my 02 125mm Fox Talas to a Fox 36
Upgrade my 5th Element coil to a Fox DHX air.

this should give my bike almost an extra inch of travel all the way around and keep the weight about the same

People have asked me what I want and I can't think of anything.

I've told eveybody that if they don't know what to get me they should be buying me gifts.

This x-mas is all about my baby so my wife and I are just going to exchange small presents. I think I'm going to ask for a new XC helmet....however, early next year I'm going to splurge on myself and buy a new frame to replace my old Bullit (either a Nomad, a 6.6, a 6-Pack, or a VPX)

I don't really need anything. But a few bike-related gifts under the tree will make me very happy. The best gift is that I finally have extended family living in the same state as me, so I'll get to see them for the holidays :D

Dancin' over rocks n' roots!
A healthy baby (although it will be a bit late for Christmas) and a less than difficult delivery would be great ;)

I would really love a Yeti 575, a lightweight 80-100mm fork for a new project and some good dark chocolate.

My christmas present to my family is taking them to NZ to see my girlfriends family. My christmas present is a Heli-biking tour, helicopter ride through the Lord of the Rings mountains & valleys & being dropped at the top of a mountain (Triple Cone?) for a 25km downhill ride.

If i'm rerally lucky i will get an E-13 chain device as well :)

I want a Ball in a cup toy...The cool thing is that even if I don't catch the ball in the cup it's alright, the ball is attached to the cup by a string.

What is family guy? I don't bike or know anything about a family guy. I play with my ball in a cup toy because if you don't catch the ball in the cup it's alright, the ball is attached to the cup by a string.

Admit it Rob. I know you were jealous of my rigid singlespeed.
