Its 30°A and tires are pumped. Got an appointment to get back for but 20+ miles should be doable. Let’s roll!

I have a Powertap hub, and it works. It doesn't give me cadence, so I need to run an external sensor.
I have a Quarq, and it's crank based, and it works. It gives me cadence, and it also gives me right/left power, which I now give two ****s about.
I have some new Assioma Duo pedals, that work. The give me cadence, and some weird thing that tells me where my power is as I go round and round. I really don't give two for that either.
As long as you have the same BB, swapping a Sram Red crank is a walk in the park. Swapping pedals is also easy. So is swapping a wheel. I'm lazy, so swapping nothing is easiest.
I run Look cleats, so it does make it even easier.

Power meter will be way later down the road.

How is this computed?
One thing that tipped off the crack staff at the Velo Vol medical institute was that when my RA was really out of control, my heart rate went up 20+

It's done with electrical resistance measurements between the hands and feet. The gizmo infers the proportion of lean and fat mass and can parcellate it to the trunk and each extremity. Had mine done recently and the results were interesting. There was a recommendation to put on some fat.

I think that the next time I wrap my bars, I'll try it from top to bottom, which will eliminate a couple of the problem areas with the aero handlebars.

Ain't no shame - the CAAD will do just fine. If you are going to look at upgrading groupsets to 11-speed (105 or better) just be aware that you'll probably need a new wheelset, too - a lot of hubs more than 8-10 years old don't have the room to support 11-speed cassettes. That said, modern groups are wonderful and the shifting, particularly up front, will be a big improvement over what you're used to. If you upgrade but stay 10-speed (Sora), you might be able to keep your wheels... but check with the wrenches here before taking my word on it.

I have 5 Tele's and like 15 Strats. It's a sickness. All are parts casters except for my original '93 Strat. A couple of kit built. I learned a lot from youtube and by building the kits. Recently I did my first refret with stainless frets. I'm a huge fan. Almost indestructible, a bit tough on the tools though. The mim tobaco burst on the couch.

Guitar **** would make a major dent in the bike **** budget.
That and I don't know how to play and have little desire to learn.

Speaking of bike ****, I just remembered that my Cycliq camera should be showing up today - woo! Just in time for riding outside in 6 weeks!
