I got two of these valve core tools because (1) I now carry a pump that has a hose that I have to screw on my valve and (2) some tubes now come with the core not very tight. Ugh. So now I carry this tool in case I need it again.

Got an email last week from Boulder Bicycle for a flash sale. Ordered some Campy parts and tools and a Tange Seatpost bolt.

2 Jagwire stainless steel der cables, and a JW stainless brake cable. I'd like to buy them locally, but the closest LBS sells cable housing for $4/foot and the KMC 8 speed low end chain for $25 or $30, and the 2nd closest changes prices on inventory when the price for new inventory goes up. The last time I bought a JW stainless bale from them (a year or 2 ago), the package was marked, IIRC, $5.99 or $6.99, and their computerized system charged me an extra $1.50. That was after selling me a tire marked $19.99 for my grandson's bike but charging me $24.99.
They can rob me when I need the item right now - but that teaches me to stay out of their store.
I grew up in small retail. When my Dad mismarked an item, he honored the marked price and corrected his mistake on the rest of inventory.

I got in a new set of Ritchey Zeta Classic wheels today in polished silver from Bike24. Just like the Campagnolo Zonda's I got from them last year these were terribly packed. At least this time the wheels were in foam bags and they put some packing paper in the box. Nothing done though to keep the wheels from bouncing around and the skewers were just thrown in the box. When I opened up the beat up box I found parts to the skewers missing . No doubt lost through the opening in the poorly sealed box. I did take pictures and opened a claim with Bike24. We'll see how that goes.
On a side note, they list the wheels at 1440 grams. Now I've seen plenty of reviews stating the wheels do weigh more so I was curious what they would actually weigh. I got 1587 for both wheels on my scale. That's a good bit of a difference.
Now to decide it these are going on the Meile or the Moser.

Not today but yesterday. The rare time in life that I actually win something. Won the Caption Contest on GMBN a few weeks ago and received my Stunt Mug straight from the UK yesterday. lol

Big day today for sure. Got in the tires and new chain from Merlin for the Moser.
But I also got in a real steal of a deal I stumbled on last week looking for parts for the Sancineto.
One bulk buy landed me a 2011 Pegoretti Duende frameset in my size.
And...
A Colnago CT-1 frame with a Force fork. This is a 57 CTC set tube but a 56 CTC top tube. Not sure what to do with this one as I have never made a 57CM bike work for me yet.
And...
Another white Pegoretti fork
And...
Hed Belgium/Campagnolo Record wheelset
Hed Belgium/Chris King wheelset
And...
Campagnolo Chorus 11 2015+ shifters:

I just went over most of the stuff and have found no real issues. The Peg frames is in great shape with only some paint loss on the rear drop outs. The Collnago has a bit more paint loss mainly around the BB but really it looks great as does the fork. All the parts seem fine. And now I'm about to attack the wheels. I have seen one slightly bent fork on the Record wheelset so I'll get the LBS to swap that.
Even better, I just found my cutters. Maybe the Miele will get done today after all.

A rare gift from the Trash Panda Werks graced my mailbox today! I have been muddling along with a very slow build on a Trek 950, and spending time coaching college golf. And this was a great relief from those activities. Some pictures of the treasures from the cold and wet northeast Indiana. Smiles, MH
The latest and greatest bling from the Trash Panda Werks in the much recognized logos of our racing Heroes and the favorite bike brand of our own Bianchi Goddess.
And how better to reach into the near and dear section of the MH's heart than to mention my hero Tullio who raced along side the likes of Othon.
