Thanks! I'm totally in love with this bike. It's drizzling now, and I'm still about ready to go out!

New Specialized S-Works as a warranty replacement for my 2 year old ones that had the screw post of one of the BOA break apart. Not bought, but new nevertheless. Both shoes were within 7 grm difference of each other. Oh, and that includes the cleats and hardware already installed not hem. They have custom insoles that weight about 50 grm +/- each.
I originally had a 42.5 size with e-soles in them. While waiting for the warranty shoes to come in, I went to a nearby lbs and 44 is the smallest they had. Turns out I was able to fit in them the custom insoles from my D2 shoes that never fitted well. The insole was the only thing on those shoes that I loved due to being a mirror image of my feet, so I kept them. Now, it is perfect in every way with very little extra room in front of the toes. Only thing I wished differently is that they were completely white with red just in the BOA and inner collar!!

Picked up a new Kali Maraka helmet to try out, and an Ultegra 6870 GS derailleur since my hack for the 9070 failed big time. Haven't installed it yet though

Just had to share this, picked it up on Friday morning at least it's on two wheels.
FYI, Kali Maraka helmet, very nice fit and ventilation as good as my Giro Aeon (two versions old though). Weight a little much at 295g but still in the ballpark with most others. I have a pretty small head and it's been tough to find decent looking and fitting helmets. Haven't put on the new rear derailleur yet although I could have used the 32t on yesterday's ride.

Looking forward to your review. I've never worn any Assos (haven't even seen any). I'm not against spending the dollars on items when it makes sense, and frankly often enough even when it doesn't. I've always been curious about what makes them so desirable and if they're worth it.

I have a couple of their bibs and while I think they're the best of those I have tried, all I can say is you ride long enough and often enough to notice a difference, if one exists for you. I've discovered that at least to some extent I think bibs are like saddles, not one brand or style is best for everyone.
