Where did you get that Hincapie BMC bibs? I bought an Hincapie kit in the past and turn out being great stuff, very durable. Since BMC team changed kit manufacturer, those Hincapie BMC should be on sale, right?
There are still lots of old BMC Hincapie stuff on eBAY up for grabs.

Finally getting back into it. Haven't had a bike in nearly 2 years. I'm excited to get back into it and get back in shape. Note - This is how the guy I bought it from had it set up. There will be many changes.

Hah. I would have gotten the 12-23 for the supertight spacing but I need the 11 for particular race that has a long, slight decline that typically has a tailwind. But, yeah, the biggest hill here is a freeway overpass.

I just received an email from Active GearUp. Usually just delete them, but the subject mentioned helmets, so I took a look. Ended up ordering the Orbea Thor helmet (in black), for $80 (free shipping):
https://www.orbea.com/us-en/gear/thor/
It does look a little funky, but heck...just riding I look a little funky, so what the heck. As long as it will help protect my head if I fall, that's all that matters. Helping to keep me somewhat comfortable during rides is also key. My old helmet is fine this time of year, but gets a bit toasty once the heat turns on.

Picked up this wired speed/cadence computer from the LBS, but the wire/sensor design is absolutely atrocious. Taking it back and getting the next model down for $10 less that only does speed. Don't really need cadence.

Performance had it at 20% extra off (on top of 10%), and it shipped free, got it in less than 2 days.
