Holiday Season
Moderators: robbosmans, Moderator Team
First, best of the Season to WWs everywhere.
I am having trouble coming-up with gifts for cyclists. Usually, there is something interesting that I can find, but this year there doesn't seem to be anything obvious. As 'guys who have everything', what would you want from the Jolly Old Bicycle Elf?

Might be a little late, but I think these things make cool gifts.

that's what I gave last year!
I was thinking of their bottom bracket tools, but they don't have a DA/Campagnolo version, so you need to buy two for a set. The derailleur hanger adjuster is a great idea, but it is not available yet...

It might be too obvious, but a good pump is always welcome.
custom engraved top cap possibly?

If you want to see 'meh' content of me and my bike you can follow my life in pictures here!'Tape was made to wrap your GF's gifts, NOT hold a freakin tire on.'
depends on the rider
personally I need some baselayers, more warmers (arms/knees/booties - only have one pair each), my sunglass lenses are scratched, never replaced the helmet I crashed on, all my bottles are old, etc. Hopefully Santa Claus will come through
if you ask them i'm sure they'll have something to complain about but makes it more worthwhile when it's something they really need.

Anything custom would be a cool! Custom bottles, bar ends, name stickers for frame, tools, or clothes.

Protection when "saddling up" is always appropriate for the discriminating cyclist.
Google translates this as "Go through life with ease". Yes siree Bob!!

google translate got it right

I meant to add this earlier and figured a "gift" thread was always a good idea.
But if you're still looking for cyclist minded gifts why not coffee. A few brands out there with cycling minded folks behind but a cool one out of Vermont is giving the profits to their juniors in Vermont. Tasty artisan coffee is pretty tough to go wrong with though.
