Kask Protone, all white.

Tried one on in February on Mallorca (had to be the absolute firsts to hit the stores?) but they only had it in the white/red version, didn't like that, but the fit was awesome for my head. I've been struggling with my Catlike Mixino lately. The Mixino has been leaving major indentations on my forehead and at times giving me a headache.. Hoping the Protone will deliver the fit of my old Mojito but with much improved ventilation.

I wanted to try a set of these as an all-around training and gravel tire so got a set of 25s for a good price.

I (supposedly) purchased 2 (new) Light and Motion Seca 2000 Enduro headlights new off of ebay for 17.40 usd (shipped). We'll see how this plays out...

(at that price, it was worth a shot)

Edit: seller left feedback already, this is getting interesting.

Edit: Gets more interesting-- seller notifies me they are cancelling the sale because the last ITEM (note, I ordered 2 of them) is "defective". I responded by telling them to send me my two "new in box, but defective" items anyway, I still want them. This could be fun.

Fantastic! So simple, yet absolutely stunning.

They where doing a 25% off sale also but that may be over, still a great price.
Note that the reviews say they run a bit small

Shoes came in a bit under weight at 401 grams for size 45 , I lost 200 grams just with new shoes, they fit better and are more comfortable so far. Are these crazy light or is it just me ? Its light that are not even there.

I scored a pair as well, based on these comment. Went a size up from Sidi/Giro. I swore I would never go back to straps after wearing the Giro Empires for several seasons, and the Giros will remain the go-to shoe for sure, but this price was too good to not give the Pogliaghis a whirl. Heck, I spend more at a bar in one evening than these shoes cost.

3T Ergonova Team stealth and later this week matching ARX stem. I have the same setup on my Roubaix and love it so its going on the GT Grade too. I love the ergonomics of the bar and the whole setup just looks great too.

Let me know what you think after you get them and do a few rides, they have very little padding compared to my last shoes, so I use a bit thicker sock.

new shoes after finding 6.6 mega's were too wide. returned mega's and hoping these will be perfect.
