Found this old Festina Tour de France watch in the drawer and thought it worth reviving - sadly the strap disagreed. Will find a new strap and take it to my local watch guy to see if it still works. (at Roadworks Bicycle Repairs)

Last ones for the day are a couple of shots of @billbrierley56 ’s amazing home-fabricated carbon handlebar extensions! Super stable, light while erring on the side of robust, and beautifully finished. Note also the tidy pack roll underneath, hand made by Bill as well. It’s always great fun working for Bill!
