Just ordered a pair of S-Works Exos shoes, 33% off from Sigma. Should save me 80g per shoe.

I just meant couldnt decide on colour for a new build. .
I've already got 2 pairs of Xpresso 12s & 15s.
These were at a pretty good price and available rather than the hard to get Xpresso's.

my understanding was for some time they didn't. Unfortunately, they weigh as much as the xpresso12's

They are certainly a lot heavier.
My Xpro 15s are 177.2g, my Xpresso 12s are 162.1g.

Awaiting delivery of an eBay pair. When you get them, please follow up with a fit comment,
on whether you need to size down because of the no-adjustment toe box.
On advice, I took a risk with a size smaller than usual, still awaiting delivery.

Went for size 45, which is what I normally wear, there was no 44 or 44.5 in stock. Unfortunately slightly too big so returned them. Feel fantastically light, but didn't want to splash £300 if they weren't a perfect fit. So in my experience sizing down would be recommended.

Picked up a set of the Juin Tech F1 calipers for the gravel bike. Much better lever feel and power vs the Spyre C calipers. Plus keep getting better, pads are barely bedded in.

I got one from Bike24 for my SL6 just weeks ago. Suddenly 38s were available and I ordered one rightaway at a very good price, too. It was more difficult to source the 130mm -12 stem tbh Image
Now I just need need to figure out which holder i should get for the Wahoo roam
