So I've "invested" in some new stuff (while still using the C&V Bianchi frame that I like the feel of):
R7000 group set
Conti GP5000 tires
PSIMET wheels
Garmin 830
Garmin Varia
Stages Left crank PM
New handlebar, stem, and pedals to tweak the fit a bit.
I feel like there's something missing...oh, I got new shoes, too.
Also, y'all are a bad influence

Pictures were going to be shared as before and after once everything is in hand.
That's one heckuva nice parts list!
Also, the concept that "investment" only correctly refers to monetary investment for monetary return is the product of internet know-it-alls. No quotation marks are needed.
