Bont CTT-3 shoes from excel sports, $92 shipped :) So far, they look great, high quality construction and I can't believe how stiff they are! The heel cup is perfect! Haven't heat moulded them yet, but I'm very much looking forward to it... Pictures once I get my new ultegra carbon pedals and have a chance to put some miles in!!

@Stefano - how did you decide on sizing? I am on old S-Works, 2007, size 45 EUR ... I am afraid to guess :(

To be built with a full Ultegra di2 Group and my own handbuilt ~1200g clinchers.

I'll be posting a new thread with photos and weights once I start putting things together. This is for my wife so will be mainly black with a few purple ano bits to satisfy her desire for some feminine color.

@headwind

The Bont sizing guide is pretty good, make sure you follow it exactly though. I did it three times, the first time gave me a 43, the second time a 44.5, and the third time was a repeat 44.5, I must have made a mistake the first time I calculated it. For reference, I ride a 45 DMT and a 45.5 Sidi.

Garmin Edge 800. The refurbished model was a steal and not married to justify the 810 because the wife needs to know where I am :lol:

Used to be a hater of Rapha...over club/racing gear look etc...now I prefer the least amount of clothing label/signage so took the leap for Rapha Classic gear...

Check the K-Edge handlebar mount. It's worth it as the "plastic" GoPro mounts are rather shaky :)
