good Christmas presents?

I say just ask him for the tricross. What's the harm? Or maybe some money toward the bike? I've had family do this for me before.

I kinda thought that too before I read this post. It sounds like that is what you REALLY want. If you start adding up all the other gear he might actually get you... well the bike purchase could have a dent in it. Plus same with family as mentioned. I know personally I'd much rather have my gift money spent be on something the person LOVES, vs something that is liked.

Good Luck.

Well, I am putting together a list but I did put a limit on spending. So the list gives him items to choose from.

Besides, he isn't too keen on expensive bikes. In fact, I think he secretely questions my sanity for buying the Ruby Elite and thinks I am being snobby about gear choice, disk brakes, etc... when it comes to wanting the Tricross. Then he goes and complains that his free bike hurts him after a mile. But he is willing to be my SAG if I ever ask.

Lights or gift card to purchase lights is something I am going to ask for this year. I have this multi tool http://store.trekbikes.com/jump.jsp?...ProductID=2284 and like it.

I just ordered ten Burt's Bees hand repair kits to give as gifts.
