Guru Evolo-R: Got the bike for $610+$89.99 shipping, so $699.99. But then they refunded me $160 so really the bike was $450+shipping. The saddle said TEST on it, even though no pics showed that, so i sent a friendly email and they hooked me up way more than expected
105 5800 Clipless Pedals: $75, but had a $75 DiscoverIt Statement Credit after approval, so cost me nothing.
Pearl Izumi Race RD IV Cycling Shoes: Got for half off retail @ Amazon for my size, 45. $74.
Conti GP 4000s II x2: $70 for the pair @ amazon, but had $75 gift card from another credit card approval offer.
Continental 42mm Presta Valve Tube x2 $14 @ amazon.
CatEye Strada Slim Wireless Computer $32 @ amazon.
Vibrelli Performance Bike Floor Pump & Glueless Puncture Kit $35 on amazon.
Ibera Bicycle Lightweight Aluminum Water Bottle Cage x2: $16 on amazon.
CO2 Inflator By Pro Bike Tool: $20 on amazon.
BV Bicycle Strap-On Saddle Bag LG: $13, but had a $10 amazon promo credit so cost me $3.
Pedro's Tire Levers: $4.36, but had leftover money from my $75 gift card when I bought my tires.
5Nm Torque Wrench 4mm/5mm: $15 @ LBS.
$749 total out of pocket, which isn't bad, since my bike budget was $700. Wife didn't really complain much. The frameset of my bike was like $3500 new, so I can't complain on the deal I got. I just put the new tires on last night. The bike really is new condition though. I have 800+ credit, so I have no problem opening cards just for bonus offers since they keep sending them to me. I have 0 debt though and typically only pay cash, except of course, for bonus offers haha. Oh, and I already had the water bottles, helmet, bibs, etc.

Finally got some wheels to make my old Allez 11 speed friendly. Old wheels won't go to waste, they stayed true and they will go on another Allez I picked up for a song.

New black Camo lizard skin tape and a 5800 12-25 cassette. Cassette was a nice change. From 11-25 to 12-25 gets an 18T but no 11. I never used the 11 but the 18 is a welcome addition.

Orange to replace green.
I like to re-tape often, with odd colors.

Dont have a picture yet as I am waiting on a different Crank for the bike but I picked up a new 2017 Bianchi Oltre XR1 in the celeste color. I switched over the Ultegra groupset for my Sram Force 22 and waiting on a new GXP crank to then switch my power meter over. My Sempre will now be officially sold

In February I was on vacation in Arizona and rented a Emonda SL, I ride a SLR. It had a 100mm stem and I felt very comfortable. So I decide to try a longer stem and i found this 110mm stem that was brand new for very cheap... so why not.
So far i've ridden 115 miles and i'm still comfortable.

24" Giordano Libero 1.6 junior edition for my 7 year old son. He loves it. I'm very happy with it. I was looking at the Fuji, but I like the paddle shifters of the Giordano.
(I'll post a pic once I have 10 posts).
