Two new Bontrager 700 x 23-25C tubes and a pair of tire levers that are more compact than my other ones, from the LBS yesterday after my rear bike tire lost all pressure suddenly while sitting in my office.

WhyFi, you will love the Vittoria tires. Only problem is that they wear out fast.
I am pretty much set up with gear andequipment.
But I recently bought a Pearl Izumi softshell jacket. It has been unseasonably cold (for SoCal) and I want to find away to stay warmer.

I run Vittorias in my Bianchi and Bottecchia and Veloflex on the Colnago. I am always looking for sales to stock up.
But I emphasize again, you will love the Vittorias. A supple and compliant ride that makes even rough roads feel smooth.

From the FAQ on Tioga-USA's website:
"In the particular case of the SPYDER and SPYDER TWIN-TAIL saddles, the articulating shell is not only designed to absorb energy, but also to support the rider’s weight. To avoid any inadvertent failure of the saddle due to fatigue, Tioga especially urge users to replace it with another SPYDER saddle once a year."
Are they really serious?

I also don't ride very much, only about 50-100km a week in the spring and summer
There's been a lot of controversy over this "Replace every year" rule that Tioga has
Some people have developed breaking in the web within a year, others have had the saddle for over two years and have had no problems
only time will tell

[h=1]Specialized
[/h][h=2] Comp-Set Multi-Position Stem
120mm
Now the bike fits like it should, and when summer hits and I can cut out these layers I have the option of going lower.

In terms of general fit, theyre on the skinny side (around the foot) but the toe has room

Theyre on the skinny side (compared to my old specialized which didnt fit) i have relatively narrow feet, and i tried on a different pair of Giro shoes to get the right size, and then ordered these based on reviews (never actually trying them on). At fist i was scared because there is A LOT of toe room, but that was soon disregarded because of the fact that they fit so snug on my narrow feet. The offset straps allow you to crank them down without cutting off circulation. So far I LOVE them. Only have about 200-300 miles in them, and still not totally broken in. But theyre already way more comfortable than my previous shoes.
