Serious purchasing this week. First, a Kona Paddy Wagon fixie. This inherited my Brooks Swift (previously on my tourer, where it had given many thousand miles service despite not really being a touring saddle). And of course that meant I had to buy a B17 for the tourer. Oh, and while I was in the shop I picked up a couple of Schwalbe Luganos for the road bike. At this rate I'll never be able to afford to retire.

Easton EA90 SLX.
Specialized S-Works SL Ergo Carbon Handlebars, 40cm.
Total, dropped my bike's total weight w/everything minus my Garmin and water bottles down to 17.76 pounds. It definitely feels lighter, now that it has lost about a pound (apparently my rear wheel weighs as much as my older Ksyrium Equipe front wheel). Am going to try it all out tomorrow on the Sierra Century.

2009 Tarmac Expert 54 Saxo Bank Color Scheme. Weighs exactly 18 lbs. Quite an upgrade from an 2008 Allez sport Compact Double. Much lighter and feels more solid on turns. I feel like I am running uphill instead of pedaling a bike up hill. This is my first Carbon bike and first with all Ultegra. The shifting is a dream compared to the 105s on the Allez. I will still use the Allez for normal workouts and keep the Tarmac for special events.

Nice! I have a '10 Tarmac Expert, and also came from an Allez. Definitely moves much faster doesn't it?

I was going carbon on the stem too but i found a nice aluminum specialized stem that i may get from a friends shop. Hope to have the fork on by next week and eventually i'll get around to buying the specialized stem. Been busy lately

Went on a bit of a shopping spree with the money I saved from not driving after getting in a wreck. FINALLY going clipless! Bought shoes at LBS and spent more than I originally intended but made up for it with cheap pedals lol. Just waiting on the mailman.

with the money i have saved from quitting smoking cigarettes purchased this weekend. my other bike has 6700 components. I was thinking of swapping components but I will likely wait until and wear this out and just purchase an entire group. I wanted to get a CAAD9 while theyre still made in the USA. Wheels I had laying around were the Mavic Open Pros w/ ultegra hubs. Now when its time to upgrade groupsets im leaning towards Ultegra 6700 (ive been pretty happy w/ it) or i might give sram force or rival a shot. when I was testing bikes at the shop I think it will take me a while to get used to the double tap style shifting.
got these for my wide feet. damn bunions. sidi genius 5.5 MEGA
Castelli Forte Bib. very good chamois
Castelli Jersey from PBK. Not too fond of this. Nice material but sizes run a tad small.
