From Italy:
The decals are for the 760, the hoods are self explanatory.

Backup to be stored away for future use:
These arrived recently...I purchased the set for the (Kuwamura) sealed BB which will replace a UN55 I am not happy with. The crank arms are 172.5 and will replace the 175s I'm currently using (does anyone have 170mm AT arms?). Gearing will change.
These were part of the above deal, I'm not sure they'll be used on anything I currently have. May be stored away for future use.
And this came a while back. No length was listed, I rolled the dice. 135mm spacing and I need 126. I don't see myself needing this in 135 ever, so it may see the blade soon.
Edit: Also tire savers from rootboy. Great guy, great product.

I've been saying for the past 2 years "if I ever find a decent, non-knobby 27 x 1 3/8" tire, I'm buying it!"* I had a set of 30 year old Specialized tires on my Voyageur. The front sported a Specialized Touring tire at 1 1/4" and the rear was a Specialized Expedition tire at 1 3/8" That bike was like riding on a poofy cloud. Albeit, a poofy old cloud that I was thinking could pop at any given minute and have me walking home.
Well, someone pointed me to the Swift Tires on the Loose Screws site- Just got 'em and I'm going to go throw one on the back end of my 1985 Trek 620!
Wish me Luck!!!**
* OK, that's kind of paraphrasing it- but the sentiment was the same.
** who actually knows if a 1 3/8" tire will even fit between the chainstays on this bike... Right now- it's the only tourer that I have that isn't fendered.

Those are really pretty- outrageously light, they work incredibly well...
Yours is in great shape.

New pedals for the non c&v ride.

Technically yesterday, but here goes:
3 cotton caps from Prenda Ciclismo-
Bianchi/Campagnolo blue & white retro
Green Campagnolo with champion stripes
Crimson & Green Legnano/Pirelli (this is my second one)
NOS 2012 Bianchi Volpe 59 cm - a shop demo boxed up and stored when the shop closed in 2/2012
Pair of wellgo SPD pedals
2 1990s(?) Bianchi bottle cages in celeste, naturally.
I don't think I've gotten this much bike stuff all in one day at any time during my 49 years.

I picked up an brand new Nitto post at Ben's cycle in Milwaukee last weekend, but somehow I forgot to get the other part I wanted. Funny how the stuff you think of at the office is forgotten when you get to the showroom...
Slowly collecting Japanese parts for the frame on the wall there.

New handlebars for my non C & V ride. Going from the stock 44cm to a compact 40cm. Hoping that some of my shoulder pain will go away.

I got a new bladder! Well, it is for my commuter backpack, but still, it is a bladder, nonetheless. (Holds more than my real one, too)
And a nifty little co2 chuck.

Those pedals remind me of the Fiat commercial where the "little blue pill" escapes from the guy who needs it, bounces all over the village, then into the gas tank of the 500, which them "bulks up". How wide are those things?

Ha! They are wide, but they are also light, and I like the metal plate. I flat wore the old ones out, and they were plastic. I haven't even ridden them yet. The cervelo is getting no love these days, even with the new shoes.

(*) Though I have been accumulating a stash of quill pedals with the expectation that I will change many/most/all of my vintage bikes back over to clips-n-straps.
