I got a new helmet and pedals the last couple of days. The helmet is white for summer riding and the pedals are some Race Face Chester pedals for winter riding.

I’ve gone a bit mad lately.

Yesterday I just received a pair of SUGOI shorts, they look nice, just waiting to get them on a ride.

Bought a nice old lugged Trek 950 frame made of double butted, oversized True Temper Cro-Moly to build into a 26" tourer with full Deore from a local bike flipper. And I didn't have to stand in a line a quarter mile long, like I did at my local box store. Super duper deal!

Well I will risk putting on my black Friday purchase at the risk of getting "online abused". I have always known the ceramic speed stuff was of course a very pro item and never needed for a recreational rider like me but I did get a set of the jockey wheels for my road bike for under $200. I had a 50$ gift card to use and they were marked down 35% so my cost was $150 after the discount and gift card. I probably should have gotten a bunch of wear items like chains or tires but impulse got the best of me when they were $200.
My curiosity has always wanted to try something from them even though I will never notice a performance difference. Maybe they will be quitter than the stock ones that are super noisy for some reason.
OK...beat me up now....

Nice, I got the M8000 road bike group early this year and was very happy with that purchase. The front derailleur was quite a bit different to setup, but it works like a dream.
Yesterday I just received a pair of SUGOI shorts, they look nice, just waiting to get them on a ride.

Nope. Working to put together what I already have.

No Black Friday or Cyber Monday, but I did pick up a couple of gifts for cycling mates and pair of "waterproof" socks for myself from aerotechdesigns on-line sale last week. This time of year I find it very difficult to be unselfish. Just about everything is on sale at the lowest prices making it really hard to practice self restraint.
