Wind vest... for a charity ride that started out in the low 50's.
It's south Florida, need I say more?

Got a set for new Roubaix, will be here Monday. Fulcrum Racing 5. Hoping will be a good all-around wheel.

Bianchi10, Those are nice socks!
Sweet bike that Cannondale!
I'm posting mine for the umpteenth time just to show off a few new items for the winter. New black saddle (back to my weight weenieism, 148g and comfortable as all get out), also went to black handlebar tape this fall so the carpet needed to match the drapes. New winter and fondo wheels, Industry 9 I25's running tubeless with Bontrager R3's 25mm (incredibly comfortable), a nod to my aging ways and lots of nearby climbing, put an 11-32 Ultegra cassette on along with a 6870 Rear Derailleur which easily shifts as nice as my 9070 but makes me feel like my bike is ashamed of me

Changed my cassette from a 12-25 to a 11-32. Makes it easier for an old guy to climb.

No, my LBS guy said I didn't need to. Have put a couple of hundred on it since it was done, and everything seems to be working well. I'm kind of an older feller and have only been riding a year, so I have to depend on other's expertise at times. I do love to ride though. Seem to be able to cruise the flats and rollers pretty well, but any serious climb is a chore.

I order a pair of Bontrager's new XXX Road shoes in red. Unfortunately, the estimated ship date for the red version of the XXX Road is in mid-to-late January. Just in time for the heart of a Midwest winter...

I tried to buy some wheels today... gave my CC numbers and thought all was set.. got a call back and inventory was incorrect, they did not have a mig45 hub in stock.. ordered delayed. Does that count ?

It's a good price, but not enough light(IMO). I use a 650 & a 150 forward, with the 60 flasher on the rear. I'll probably upgrade this winter
