To replace a Castelli Speed suit, the Katusha one:

Scored some Fizik Endurance tacky bar tape on eBay. Hard to find now at regular pricing now that it’s discontinued.

Thanks for the link, I wanted to try Speedplay for a while now, so ordered a pair :beerchug:
So the pedals have arrived and are grossly overweight at 156g (that's 12%). What a bad stroke of luck, first rims and now this. Will try to arrange a replacement, but wouldn't hope for much.

I've found that they don't last very long when you skid across gravel on them, even the gravel-specific jerseys.

Um, I think you are doing it wrong. If this happens often, might I suggest a set of motorcycle leathers?

For my first road bike build I ordered a Berk Lukna, I am very excited to have such a piece of velo art 😍

Not a head-led purchase as I have no room, but one from the heart: 2015 Supersix Hi-Mod Frameset. Resprayed by the previous owner, looks brilliant in the sunshine. Not sure how I'd like to build it yet, it'll sit in storage until I get some time to build it over the winter holidays:

I still think that Holdsworth is the deal of the decade for a Spirit Frame :thumbup:
