That looks like there are books resting on top of your steerer tube, hehe. Your Trek isn't boring, Madones are always pretty. I don't think I've ever seen a white saddlebag either... (personally I would have gone with a black saddle bag since it probably will be easier to clean as well as black bottle cages).

As a suggestion I'd say try out the Romin as well before you decide on the Toupe. I have the Toupe on my month old Tarmac, and thought it was great. I mean, it still is, however I tried the Romin and... it's pretty amazing in that it is still comfortable even after several hours on it. Costs about the same as well. Romin SL model apparently has Titanium rails, other than that I have no idea what else is the difference to quantify the price difference o.O...

Garmin Edge 500. Haven't had the weather to use it outside yet though.
Thinking about those Gore Ride On Cables this Spring.

Ordered these a couple weeks ago. They finally came in this week. I finally found the right size too.
Of course the irony is that after I ordered them I find out I have to stay off the bike and in one of these for at least 4 weeks hoping to avoid surgery

Oy! Well at least you'll have them ready to go when you finish recovering? I have the '09 BG Pros... they work very nicely !

You are going to love this. They redefine good rear lighting. Nothing comes even close to them.

One thing I can say is they sure have good service. I was a little confused about what to buy and sent them an email. Not only did I get a reply on Sunday, I got a phone call. Wow, that was great!!

Picked up two items a day apart.
1) Cyclemeter
This is a $5 iPhone App. I know there are several of these cyclometer apps on the market, this seems one of the better ones. Runs for hours if the display is turned off (I keep my iPhone in a jersey pocket).
A cool feature includes voice updates via earphones of mileage, elevation, or whatever else the rider might want to know (which is great if the iPhone isn't visible).
2) Garmin 500

Kool Stop brake holders w/ X-Pad. I kind of wanted swiss stops, but they were $10 more expensive for each pair...not worth it.
Pedros Micro Blow Out bag - for training rides when I don't want to lug around my big 'ol fuji bag.

Having not read all 72 pages of this thread, may I ask why it is not sticky? With the concern for real estate on page one, this thread would be one less to keep having to scroll by. Unless I post every new thing I buy, in which case, I'd have my own freaking forum
