  1. Next week is the offspring's birthday. I haven't an idea of what to get him. Well I do - he's been
    hinting in a less than subtle way for a Dolan time trial bike and/or some carbon tri-spoke wheels.
    It is apparent my offspring resides on Planet Zog... So, what to get him that isn't going to cost an
    arm and a leg??? Inspiration guys - on what to get a cycling mad teenager??

    Cheers, helen s

  9. Quoted message said:

    A signed photograph of Nicole Cooke?

    He'd like that - not that he fancies Nicole Cooke, but he really does admire her as a cyclist. As a
    mother, there is absolutely no female that is good enough for my boy, but perhaps she's better than
    most. Not that I'm over-protective in any way you understand ;-)

    Quoted message said:

    Got a couple of books about the TdF... he's dipping in and out of the Obree book, the original Lance
    book and also a couple of books on Tom Simpson.

    Thanks for the ideas!

    Cheers, helen s

    He has that already.

    So why write? "I have him well-trained - he doesn't like b*bs."

    Sounds like you imposing your will on him.

    Xpedia gift voucher? - www.xpedia.co.uk - "gifts for the non cyclist" (they mean this is what a non
    cylist might give a cyclist although of course I know you are no NC Helen!).

    I'll have a think for more ideas but it's difficult.
