Yep. I love good chromoly frames, SLX in particular, and look forward to seeing for myself why folks raved about Ciocc handling. My last bike was a Tommasini Tecno, which will be hard to beat. Still, got the frame cheap.
I had been lusting over the new Wilier Gran Turismo and the new Roubaix SL4, but alas, I do not have the budget to make either of those happen. that said, there's something viscerally pleasing about riding a well made chromoly frame.

All of the above is going on an All City Mr. Pink, so it's all compatible(need a clamp adapter for the front derailleur). I've fit myself to a handful of bikes before and am fairly confident that the stem length/angle and seatpost setback(or lack thereof) will be fine.

Showers Pass Pro Tech ST Jacket:
Windproof, waterproof, breathable, ultra-lightweight (140 grams) and packable, and it doesn't hide your kit.
I've never seen a rain jacket that was so lightweight. It will be my every day jacket to fend off the rain and the cold.

Will do. Two of my guys ordered the same jacket today, so I'll post their feedback when I get it. One thing I like already is that it's race cut -- ideal for a skinny climber like me. I could fit two of me in a "club" cut jacket.

I bought two different DeFeet base layers. I've been using Craft, but thought I would try something a bit different. The DeFeet arm/leg warmers I have are the best. Doesn't get that colder here, but sometimes 40deg or so when we start off. Decent base layer, jersey, good arm warmers and a wind vest = good-to-go.
