Today is the next billing cycle on my credit card, so I went bezerk on bike stuff, mostly for my new Wraith build. Some major items:
1. Sugino SG75 DD crankset - black / 165mm / 44T
2. Nitto Jaguar seatpost - black / 27.2mm
3. FSA Energy Wing Pro Compact Road Bar - black / 38cm x 31.8mm
4. FSA Energy Stem - black / 80mm x 6deg x 31.8mm
5. Salsa Gel Cork bar tape - gray
6. (2) King Cage Stainless Steel water bottle cages
7. Continental Grand Prix 4000S II tire - black / 700 x 28c
8. Cane Creek SCR-5C brake levers - black / compact
9. Tektro R540 brake caliper - black / front
10. tubes with 60mm presta valve stems to fit the Heavy Pedal Tempo wheels
I already have a saddle, pedals and front tire, so this is all I need to complete the build. I'm stealing the computer from my old geared road bike that haven't ridden in over two years, since my new carbon road bike was built.

Yeah, although it's only 1% on anything other than grocery (2%) or gas (3%). i guess I need to ride my bike less and drive my car more

Is that the sunrace 40t 10spd cassette? I'm thinking about getting one of those too.
Also, DND gloves are the bestest.

My camo DNDs are still looking pretty good, of course, I've only been riding them for about half a year. I did almost buy the same ones you just bought, but the shop didn't have my size.

I gotcha! I'm not sure if my RD could handle the 42, was worried the 40 might be a stretch, but others say they haven't had an issue.

worst case scenario youd need an extender thingamabob for the hanger mount, but most new mtb rds are plenty capable

Yeah, I should give it a bit more time and let things wear out a little more and then just upgrade everything.

I'm gonna up my fixie game.
Bike is 48/16 right now.
There is a Tuesday night paceline training ride near me. It's out and back on the MUP, 30 miles total, flat, and run steady at 20 MPH with 0.5 to 1 mile pulls for each person. I'd like to join in with my fixed gear bike but I'm not sure that 48/16 is going to be right so I'm going to try a 15 on the other side to see how it feels.
Actually has me a little anxious.

That said, you'll do fine. You seem like you ride quite often and put some miles on your bikes, just hang out in the draft and rest a bit if you get tired.

Oh and made in 'Merica. Plus they have super swell chainring bolts (allen wrench for both sides : ) in fun colors.
