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.
