Nice Fuji. What's that silver on the stem? Can you adjust the angle to whatever you please with that?

Yeah that's an adjustable stem, have a similar one on my MTB but looking to get a fixed stem soon because the adjustable one is heavy as crap, and I think I also have the angle dialed in where I like it.

Kreitler Killer Headwind Fan (used, $30 plus shipping) for some Kreitler rollers I recently picked up on the local CL. Summer is a good time to buy winter gear.

Nice, I got my aeon for $159 and couldn't pass it up. It's a fantastic helmet. I've been wearing it every day for a few months now and it doesn't stink or anything. I take it into the shower with me about once a week to give it a rinse and clean the straps/pads.

DANG wish I could find an Aeon for half off. Those are seriously nice looking helmets, and I hear they vent amazing and are super light.
Rinsing in the shower, that's an interesting idea. I remove the padding from mine and throw them in the wash with my other bike/workout stuff. One time I removed the straps and washed those, too, and luckily took pics to see how to re-route the straps back in. That was kind of a big PITA.
*edit* oh man I NEED the black one with red/white accents. Would match my bike perfectly.

PIcked up a almost new powertap G3 wheelset on ebay for $660. It is laced to a a mavic open sport. Pretty low quality rim, but for the price, couldh't pass up on the hub. Need to figure out how I'm going to build up the hub. Any suggestions for solid all-round wheels. I don't race, but I do quite a bit of climbing and also use my bike to commute so wheels would take a beating

A Met Estro helmet and a coupla Lezyne Pressure Drive pumps offa Chainlove. They were impulse buys, I admit. But I think I did pretty well. Tried the helmet this morning, it's good.

Bought all this a couple weeks ago, then followed up with a Garmin 510 and a new Castelli kit/gloves last weekend. DONE for a while (well, until I order the new 'cross frame next month). New bike, new pedals, new cages, new shoes, new footbeds, new shades. I sold the tri bike, so it all evens out... kind of...
