Was feeling it from all you guys so ordered a Performance Ultra bib short - my first set of bibs so here's to hoping it'd help hide some of my gut!! :beer:

I'm cut off from shopping...family is requiring me to make an Xmas list instead of buying for myself.

but I neeeeeeeed!

Nope! Next on my list is a compact crank. ;)

Bought 'em, not sure if I should use/keep them. May be overkill.

Overkill? No such thing when it comes to the bibs! When you think about how many hours of use you get out of them, even the most expensive bibs are downright cheap. And THEN factor in how critical they are to ride enjoyment... bibs are the one purchase I never feel guilty about. :)

hope you enjoy it! feels much better than shorts.

I bought new wheels (Mavic OP with Ultegra hubs) last Thursday from Performance. They're a vast improvement over the dumpy Bontragers I had.

Well I kinda spent it on other things this month. Its been a rough month for some friends. One his daughter is fighting lukiema, and we all pitched in and got her a totally awesome singlespeed, all the top of the line stuff and custom painted to her liking. Another friend shattered his collar bone this past weekend and has no insurance. The group has helped pick up the slack in both cases causes that just the way to roll.

As far as my shopping spree yesterday with Performance, Cali made me do it. She made me save a lot of money on items I didn't really need.

I ordered their MX Pro w/ETA on sale from Jenson. I had it shipped to my work....it only took two days. :D

what travel did you go with? I have the 120mm. Did you get a shock pump yet? If not, you can borrow mine on Saturday and give it back on the following group ride.

I got the 100-120mm adjustable. No I didn't get the pump yet. If I can borrow your's that'll be great. Thanks! :)

Yah you can use mine, for your next few MTB rides, just carry it in your camelbak so you can make adjustments on the trails. Do a ride w/ LOTS of varity, rock gardens, sand ruts, ect. So you can adjust the shock accordingly. Most shocks lose 5-10psi when you remove them so account for it when you put air into the shock. The one I have loses about 8psi when removing.

just got my first 4 orders! it's like christmas! http://www.smileycons.com/img/christmas3/santa_car.gif
