The official : "what have you bought today" topic

[djconnel]

Didn't buy today, but salvaged from old parts. Gotta love old Al bars:



Ergo bend + cable channel and still 223 grams.\

[HammerTime2]

What are you, in the gasoline business? It's 223.9.

[djconnel]

Hey -- I pulled off more than 0.9 grams of old adhesive after taking the photo.

Soma Highway 1 compact-bend bars I removed to install these were 304 grams. I went from 40 cm shallow drop to 38 cm medium drop ergo and lost 71 grams.

I'm a commuter bro now so I'm building up a commuter bike.

[brodyisaak]

That's the exact same build I am wanting to do. What are you doing for wheels?

[jmilliron]

Have a set of Hed Belgium Plus wheels that I'll be using on it. At least initially. DT Swiss front, PowerTap G3 rear. Schwalbe One Tubeless tires w/ Stan's.

I too have ultegra 6800 on my commuter. Absolutely love it.

[nathanong87]

6800 ultegra. those are some nice commuter bikes! haha

[djconnel]

Yeah -- but you should see his commute.

[jmilliron]

The bike isn't going to be locked up outside or anything. Just want something that's not as flashy as I ride into work through some of the less savory parts of San Francisco and then take the train home.

[HammerTime2]

Damn straight. The crackhead muggers in the less savory parts of S.F. will quickly pick up on the difference between Ultegra and Dura Ace. And being as your commuter bike is Ultegra, they won't bother messing with you.

Should've gotten the break-away for the travel factor.

[MarkGiardini]

Went in on a group buy with a couple of buds last week and got these at $60 off RRP which I can't complain at.

[commendatore]

"Clearance" gp4000s tires I ordered just arrived, and the mio link heart rate strap I preordered finally shipped. Probably lighter than a chest strap, right?

[desperado95219]

Let us know how the mio works when you get it. I've been thinking of doing the same thng.
