Who's Buying? My Christmas Wish List

Well, it is my blog right? I can be greedy and ask for stuff?
maybe someone is giving one of these away. We all have dreams, dreams of falling, dreams of running or cycling in your sleep. I have dreams of someone leaving these things on my back porch in a nicely wrapped gift box in the next 3 weeks. Anyone? I would be happy to get a banner on my car, stickers on my helmet, drive around with giant sponsor magnets on my car, and other such ways to help promote your product.
  • Digital (portable self-contained) video cam, made by Twenty20.
    this thing is badass. It's got a 2 gig memory card, laser adjustable lens system, great resoulution and several mounts available. I need one of these to document some of my mountain and road rides. It would be cool if they rented them? But better for me if I just owned one:)






  • Power Tap hub - Computer by Saris
    I have always wondered at my peak fitness what kind of "watts" I would generate. I certainly have no interest in bragging about them, it's just I always wondered. I know my LBS and Team Sponsor has a deal where you can rent a PowerTap system, wheel, computer, download cradle etc. for a weekend or week or whatever. Pretty cool. But I suppose if somone is gi
    ving this stuff away to me, I should just have one of my own. It would be nice to have an extra one, for just my mountain bike, while I am asking.
  • Garmin 705 Edge well heck if someone is going to give me the Power Tap I gotta have the Garmin to go with it right? They work hand in hand now with the new ANT technology. One download to TP gets you, GPS, Speed, HR, POWER, Cadence and a bazillion other things a bike tech geek can tweek over.





  • Specialized Carbon HT and the Specialized S-Works Epic Carbon Disc
    yeah dog, it's my list I can ask for whatever I want.
    I have a really nice HT now, a few years old, GF Zigg. that I love, but who wouldn't want a sweet looking full-carbon hardail with a sweeping top tube as sexy as that<. And well I have only ridden a full supension couch bike for a few days while riding in Moab - it was heaven (thanks Matt). But I think maybe it's time to get one. I have been contemplating how cool it would be to do some 'out west' mtb racing in '09 and there is a new MTB National Series that looks interesting.

  • Ergon GR2 Carbon Bar Grips
    And because these things are so fricking nice to my hands, I would like to have a set of these for each of my new mountain bikes. Currently, I have a set of the GP-1. They have saved my hands, wrists and nerve endings all year. Santa did get them for me last year, so it would be good to step it up for some swanky lightweight race versions.


  • Lifetime Magazine Subscriptions - Online Digital versions only
    Dirt Rag
    Velonews
    Cycling Plus UK
    Cyclocross Mag
    ROAD Magazine

    IT would be nice to have lifetime memberships of these magazines. Plus, I think printing is sometimes a waste. I currently subscribe to a few magazines in digital only versions, which is really nice and is not a tree killer.

    It's not much really - I can send you my home address if you need it or my work address to make sure I can track the shipping. I wouldn't want this stuff to get lost on the way.
