good taste! I had the option of the Ergo 2s as well, and I liked the 6.6s better. (I also didn't care for the patent leather look of the E2s, maybe next spring I'll grab some white E2s...Not so garish as the black, IMO) I really prefer the Velcro in the middle over the ratchet...much easier to adjust while pedaling if needed. I took them out this afternoon for about 40 miles and had no issues at all.
I've really fallen for Assos...their stuff is just so nice, durable, and purpose built. These are replacing Pearl Izumis that lasted 4 rides before developing a hole in one of the seams.

Unfortunately I use SIDI mega sized shoes, which I would like to try but I haven't found or it is not available in white. For my foot the velcro, especially the middle is too long. The ratchet-like lock strips in the center of the straps do not engage. Pretty lame. With spare shoes I can feel safe looking into shortening and re-stitching the straps on one set.
Been using ASSOS for a while. I had a seam open up on an S.I.13 S2 bibs last week, after being nudged on the left hip by the right-front of an SUV turning right into a drive way. Was riding about 23 mph in a bike lane on a 35mph road, and all I had time for was a quick "oh sh*t". The rear wheel slid a bit, the bike went into a quick fishtail, and I regained control in time to miss running into a barrel shaped traffic barrier stored on the side of the road. I will send those bibs back to Switzerland for repair.

Blackburn Mars 1.0 tail light. 10$ at Dicks, cheaper than anywhere I found it on line and I avoided shipping, ha.

Castelli definitely runs smaller than LG. It's smaller all around, and the quality of the jersey feels a lot better than my LG jersey's.

Tried on a bunch of my cycling clothes last night and found out that the only cold weather clothes I have that fit are arm warmers, leg warmers, knee warmers, and shoe covers. Kind of sucks but it is what it is. Just placed an order for some new goodies, bring on winter!!!
Pearl Izumi Thermafleece bibs.
Pearl Izumi Elite Softshell jacket.
Pearl Izumi Elite Barrier jacket.
Pearl Izumi Zepphr vest.
Bellweather Screaming Meemie rain jacket.
And just for good measures..... Cateye light and Hammer Gel.

you should have just gotten the PI Elite Convertible Barrier Jacket. You can remove the sleeves from it and convert it into a vest. Would have killed two birds with one stone

Hind sight is 20/20 I guess. I got good enough prices that I'm not worried about it though.

Stella Azzurra Sugar Wafer bartape. This is to replace the Fizik Duo tape I just got a couple weeks ago, and loathed from the moment I put it on. Disregard the chrome plugs in the pic, mine came with plain black.

I finally got a road morph tire pump, an it's every thing id hoped it would be. Except for the bracket that holds it on. Plastic straps? Not so much.
I am going to make do with a holder that screws to the bottle cage. Other than that I love it.

Nope, just help out at a buddy of mine's shop from time to time. My "payment" is wholesale and EP.

I got this for cheap... 2008 Look 555 frameset in very good condition. 
It replaces my Bottechia carbon frameset from the BD groupbuy a couple years back.

Bike ≠ Car ≠ Ped.
Since I last posted:
Topeak Super Tourist rack; red Arundel Gecko bartape; MKS "Deep" leather-covered chromed steel half-toeclips; (looking around...).. some Bellwether full-finger gloves that a shop gave to me; Assos cycling cap; and I think that's it.
Also -- I had a flat tonight, and I took the opportunity to take off the flatted, well-cut, red-striped rear tire (Michelin Krylion Carbon) and replace both tires with some yellow Michelin Pro3 Race tires that I've had sitting around since buying my BMC frameset. I'm going to give the plain black front tire to a coworker who may need one for his bike. The BMC is red, white, and black, though, so the yellow Pro3's don't match -- but they look kinda hot anyway.
