He recently started riding a road bike and wants something for it. I know many sf'ers are into this stuff. What is something pretty cool I can get him. Budget is between 50-100.

Thanks guys.

For something totally pointless and blingy, how about carbon bottle cages.
This being style forum however, I'd sugest a cool jersey.

Get him a wallet custom made with his initials engraved on the outside.

Or a custom belt.

Uses money clips--already has one with his initials on it. A belt, now that's an idea. Do you have any recommendations?

^they buy me crazy, random stuff at their school holiday sale. their logic at 9, 6 and 4 is amazing. i look forward to the gifts from them more than anything else at xmas.

is your dad far away? why not go on a bike ride with him and go camping or stay at a nice hotel with him near a sweet trail?

Get unlucky to make you a custom one, custom sized for him. You can pick out really any details etc.

He has a thread in the SW&D B&S forum

Yeah, I'm off at school and in Michigan riding would suck. I may just take him, my mom and my brothers out to dinner. Although though belt idea is very intriguing.
