Same as the above two: RP9's from Competitive Cyclist, free two-day shipping, no tax, $185.

The R320s are now going to be retired to "home trainer" use or back-up.

Got these, the brake track is very good, Al like

[Nefarious86]

Jealous. I'm about to buy a pair of 404/808 V3 clinchers. Can't justify the jump to the NSW wheels.

well, let's see if the rapha pro team bibs are all they are cracked up to be.

it seems the answer is yes. in comparison to PROGETTO X2 Air and S5 a step up in the lush.

Would love me some Giro Empire MTB shoes. That blue may blend well with the blue touches om my Cannondale. I like matching, I'm a roadie.

Here:
Garmin Varia Radar tail light. Eyes in my neck I hope.
Back to FSA Compact road bars after a spell on Deda RHM (again). Got the Omega, double wrapped them. Lush.
Assos bottles. Two. The old ones were getting scruffy, and it's summer in Norway too.
Elite Cannibal cages for the road bike. Not that I really need side entry, but they were black and grey, so more discrete than the black and white Elite Custom Race I have used. I hope bottles stay put on the bumpy stuff.

today the dream is real. i have wanted one for a very long time and could never really justify it blah blah. but today i got it. mcfk stem.


the weight is not so good i suppose at 97 g. 120 mm. goes to show what a great product the 3t arx ii stem is (around 137 g for 130 mm i think). and how needless this purchase really is!

also i got the best seat post in the biz and the real star of the show re: weight savings. pls welcome Schmolke!



this one is 330 mm long (maybe longer) and only 86 g!. amazing stuff.

and then i got an ax lightness leaf. first one came to me via a prize from the WW trophy. starbike sent me one (i never would have bought one after getting an endurance and finding it a very poor fit for my rear and oh the dollars wasted!). anyway it was magic and with the leather around 89 g. this one only 75g!! amazing. yet to find if it is like sitting on soap without the leather on it.



these being finishing elements for my WW bike that i will soon be putting in the intro section.

[burglarboycie]

^ dream kit right there!! Looking forward to seeing the project you're working on!

[mrgray]

and some skewers. second hand. 29 g.

Not all recently bought but here's my collection of expander/top caps for 1-1/4" carbon steerers.

L-R
Canyon plastic friction-fit cap, have to set preload with Acros expanding spacer or other expander, then remove it. Basically a rain cover.
FSA, doesn't expand enough to grip the inside of Canyon steerer tube
Canyon, doesn't collapse enough to fit inside Canyon steerer tube
PRO 50mm, collapses and expands perfectly, UD top cap. I have the 25mm version in my bike. Perfect.
