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 .
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! 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.

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.
I've previously ridden Conti GP4000 and Michelin Pro3 Race.

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.

If you are interested in a Weight Weenies kit I no longer know what you should do.

Is that frame supposed to be called Red BVLL or Red BULL. Red Bull would sound better.
I never took drugs to improve my performance at any time. I will be willing to stick my finger into a polygraph test if anyone with big media pull wants to take issue. If you buy a signed poster now it will not be tarnished later. --Graeme Obree
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
