It’s the old SLR stem and bar combo that is recalled not the one that I have.

Jump on it for the lifetime cookware or put the skillet upgrade money towards bike crap?

Will it not work? If I ever buy an emonda I had planned on buying the same set up. I never talked to anyone at trek about it, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t.
I think we have had this discussion before. I’m getting old.

I went through this “path” to get to the colonial parkway. I usually walk it because it’s sooooo not bike friendly. The flies were terrible this morning, so I opted to stay on the bike. I guess the bumps on the “path” combined with the rough parkway was too much for the Varia. Thank god there was no traffic, I would be pissed if it gotten ran over. I can’t imagine riding without it now.

Now, none of them is the really fancy level, but... I'd vote new bike parts. Or anything else that might bring actual enjoyment or quality of life upgrades.

In another instance of, "well, I guess that's good timing?" my LBS put a bunch of apparel on sale, including all of their in-stock Rapha. They had a maroon LS jersey that I'd been eyeing, so I swung by and picked it up, since I tore my other LS jersey yesterday. Not only did they have it at 35% off, but they had it at the old MSRP (Rapha prices, like everything, went up recently), too, so it was $15 less than even Rapha's current sale price
