One piece SPD-SL cleats in various colours
Shimano cleats are great but expensive.
The Chinese Tiebao ones that imitate Shimanos are five times cheaper but only last about a 5th of the time because the coloured bits break off (and don't even mean anything - they all have 6 degress of float).
Exustar SPD-SLs are about as good as Shimano, made of one piece of plastic (the bits that are coloured are painted black) and a bit cheaper.
These look promising because they are one piece cleats and almost as cheap as the the other Chinese ones, and they come in a variety of colours. I ordered orange.

Merlin has a Schwalbe sale going on right now plus an additional 10% off when you add them to the cart.
With the stacked discount, the new Pro 1 Addix TLE (tubeless) are going for $30 each. If you get 3 or more, shipping is free - I already stocked up for the year but this makes me want to buy some for next year.
The non-tubeless variety is going for about $25 each.

The Garmin Varia RTL510 rear light/radar is down to $129.99 on Amazon. Originally $199.99. Some are speculating that a new model is going to drop soon.

I ordered a groupset from China, and a set of brifters form Taiwan a few weeks ago. They are both already in the US, and the groupset has cleared customs. It looks like they are on target to arrive by the projected date, possibly sooner. It may have gotten slower now. Issues about possible delays are now posted on web-sites, at least the ones I have seen.

No. Roads are still pretty bad, here - gritty, potholes, cracks, etc - so I'm going to hold off mounting them for another month or so. Still tempted to buy more, anyway - when I first got the S-Ones, I caught them at $30 each and I kicked myself for not stocking up when I finally got around to riding them.

Wilier GTR Team 105 Road Bike Without Wheels, ~$950
Through the weekend, Merlin has an extra 15% off of the ~$1115 sale price. I don't know anything about the model, but it seems pretty decent for a carbon frame from a good, but not common, manufacturer.

Excel has some great deals on 2019 Cervélo R3 models. Just ordered the R3 Ultegra DI2 rim brake model for $2998.
https://www.excelsports.com/main.asp...jor=1&minor=35
They also have a hugely tempting R5 SRAM Red ETap for $5000 which is a steal (if you’re a 51).

Just an FYI that I received mine today. Ordered a day or two after the original post about the sale. Came via DHL.

I’m taking a vacation day (from being “self-quarantined”) on Monday when mine is coming. I got a set of Flo 60s to put on the bike and will be transferring the Novatecs to my SL2 Tarmac. Not sure about the stock 40mm bar and 90mm stem. I’ll probably swap those out based on preferences on my current setup, but will give it s go before making any decisions.
