A ''shut up legs'' small sticker that I will put on top of my headset cap. Black on black so it's discreet.

I really like the Pro 37's, and I liked the Pro 3v's 108 point engagement, so I opted to go with these. The shop texted to let me know the wheels were in, so I went to drop off my other parts as I going to let them put the bike together for me since they have all the tools, as I just don't have all the bearing presses and such, and working 15 hr days lately, last thing I want to do. The wheels look really nice, feel really light. they are about 100 grams lighter than the Pro 3v's and the flat finish looks fantastic. The owner of the shop said he might have to get some to see if he like them better than the RSL's he is running. The only part I am lacking is the left shifter. I got the right one today, but the left should be here tomorrow.

A Garbaruk 12 speed cassette with Shimano HD hub interface for my fat bike. I bought it from BikeInn. I will not buy anything from them again, but I may well put one of these gems on the tandem with an SRAM wireless derailleur.

Why will you not buy anything from them again? Their website sketches me out.

I needed 12x110mm fork mounts for my Specialized e-bikes with the Boost wheels. No one in the USA makes a mount but did find ones for sale in Hungary. Placed my order and received the new mounts in my mail about 10 days later. Tree Frog is a very innovative manufacturer of bike accessories. https://treefrogracks.com
Mounted them on a board to hold two bikes with thru-bolt axles upright in the rear of my truck.

The short version is that DHL had the package 4 hours drive by truck from my house and wouldn't deliver it. DHL basically told me that the shipper has to start a lost merchandise complaint. BikeInn wouldn't do it, so it sat in a distribution center for 5 days.
Then I found a DHL web page to "talk to a manager" and submitted my complaint. I didn't look very close and it turned out to be DHL of Honduras! He contacted DHL of Spain and told them that they had a very pissed off customer... They got DHL USA to move the package out to me.
I am OK with orders getting messed up. That happens. Not doing anything about it? I am pissed. Seems from their reviews that I am not the only person who feels that way about BikeInn. But they had that cassette in stock.

My bright red Saeco CAAD 5 would like to have a word with you lol. It makes that silver CAAD 4 seem rather reserved. Big yellow Cannondale logos all over the downtube, Saeco logos everywhere...if you were to forget what country it was made, you just look at the seat stays or the top tube, and it's very obvious. Bikes from that era were a bit on the garish side I guess. I like it just because it looks so dated.
The frame itself is quite beautiful though. Classic lines and the hourglass seat stays are one of the coolest-looking frame features ever IMO.

Lost my Silca Tattico mini pump somewhere along the line which really sucks, so I had to replace it. I think I paid about $45 for it the last time about 5 or 6 years ago, almost twice the price now, but, decided to go with the Silca Gravelero model this time as it pushes more air and was basically the same cost.
