Indeed. I really like that they are heavy at the toes were it's needed. Feet were nice and cozy with those socks and just shoe covers Mille in 2-5*C yesterday.

I have a SS version of the Baa Baa. The merino is not as nice as, say, Icebreaker or Orca. However, whether the relative roughness of the material detracts from how merino 'works', is a separate issue altogether. The point: there is nicer merino to be had, should the BaaBaa feel prickly.
The frame came in yesterday. It looks pretty good, the headtube extension is not too bad either.

But it is definitely anti WW; in fact I should probably be banned from WW for posting this:

Yeah, if that were 2.08 lb you'd be o.k. (not great, but o.k.). So you're only off by a factor 2.2.
On the other hand, folks can build a 3 kg bike using a frame which weighs 0.6 kg, so you ought to be able to build this baby up to less than 4.5 kg, which would still be respectable by WW standards, even if it doesn't put you in the hall of fame.

A Far Near Campagnolo derailleur tuning kit in black from Ebay
c9q!~~60_12.JPG)
When I bought my XT levers (M775) they came with some of the bolts that hold the covers on missing (I knew this in advance so all good) so I bought some slim headed M3x4mm (shorter than the Shimano m3x5mm) bolts, 12 for £3.71 (about $5), so now I have 2 levers complete with bolts (I replaced the reservoir cap screws as well) that look nicer with the smaller bolt head and each lever is 4g lighter than before to boot - winner!
The Bolts are sold on ebay as being for computer hard disc drive, make sure you get the small diameter and thin head versions.

I picked up a used set of 2012 Mavic Ksyrium SL wheels on ebay. Arrived yesterday. Got a pretty good deal I think as they look fairly new and the owner claimed only used for 3 months. Much better than the Bontgrager Race Lite anchors.
