The postman came today and made me a very happy boy. Now all i need is for my collar bone to fuse back together so as i can actually start riding again!!

Sram S975 GXP Quarq Cinqo Wireless Powermeter, i will be using this with my Garmin 705. I was considering waiting for the new Mertigear pedals or even the Polar/Look pedal power meter but in the end i thought i could be waiting for ever for these thigs to materialise so i just bit thbullet and went for it, now im glad i did. They feel so sweet!!!

Like that coffee cup, where did you get it from?

As for me, new pair of Oakleys, just waiting on my fire lenses now...

And a second pair of Castelli Bodypaint. By far the best shorts available.

Does "what have you bought this week" count? AMOREps is coming together, slowly but surely. Picked up a MOST branded post, for respray...$170 post for $17 bucks since Pina owners don't like scratches on their seatposts...gotta love it :lol: .

Swapped out the tuned Negative GSL's I had originally slated for this build, for these Olympic Edition Zero G's--just couldn't resist the GOLD (Thanks Justin)! This cost me exactly 1 gram--YES! :thumbup: Going safe with Selle Italia SLR (same as "Il Generatore" Cristallo), for now--until I can find something comparable in all respects. Training wheels from Ireland, a proper tuning stand and an upgrade to carbon from the Keo 2 Max.

Pair of Cannondale bib knickers and Gore windstopper jersey - fall is right around the corner unfortunately. My first dedicated bib knickers so I hope they will work out.

Oh dear God it's heavy. Time for some new tires though and the manager at the lbs around the corner from me swears by these. Figured I'd give them a try.

Might be a good fall weather tire given it's weight and resistance to punctures?!

well, after completely forgetting that I ordered a pair of rims from the carbon rim group buy a package came to my door. They are a fair bit heavier than I had expected. Now i just need to find out what to actually do with them.

Is that frame supposed to be called Red BVLL or Red BULL. Red Bull would sound better.

at the prices Rose charges for them they can call it "red bull", "red bvll" or "big girls blouse" for all I care, they are great valkue for money. If only I could figure out how not to look like a German on annual vacation if I bought one :roll:
