I like the WTB saddles for the cost and comfort.
My Marin Hamilton came with A WTB Vigo Sport that I really like.Maybe being A steel frame helps.:love:
Bought A few WTB Rocket from Performance for my road bike.
And just picked up a used Felt Nine that has A WTB saddle.

I'm kind of embarrassed to post everything I bought this last month.But I'm plan to rebuild 3 bikes this summer and try some smaller chainrings.

Two saddles from ebay
http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/mcgAAO...yy/s-l1600.jpg $20 and it matches my Scott.;)


Serfas DD Pro Ti Rail MTB Saddle Black also from Bikewagon(Ebay) $20

Just because..Dont ask..!

I want a helmet like that with the shield. I ride on a trail and at times the bugs are really bad. I about choked on one the other day. Nasty. I had one that felt like it when in my helmet where the vents are.

I need find a deal on one. Just spent $250 on a Wahoo bolt computer.

I mostly hang out in the C&V forum, and finally made the Panaracer Pasela purchase. ProTite version in 27x 1 ⅛ size. Quite the b*itch to get on!

kansukee 05-17-17 06:08 AM

I'm building a modern steel bike. Got the frameset (Zona TIG from Il Massimo_ they are associated with Mondonico Jr), NOS Cinelli top 64 bars and Cinelli XA quill stem, Brooks B17 narrow in honey with matching leather bar tape, silver Athena group with optional carbon Ultrashift levers (NOS from 2010) and carbon UT crankset, polished Deda aluminum seatpost, Ti bottle cages. For now I will use my 24mm low profile carbon wheels which have been excellent but planning on getting a silver tubular Campagnolo wheelset, probably Eurus. The pedals are Campy Record Pro-fit.

If I had something like that my wife would refer to it as a memorial.

How many miles do average annually?

I too wondered how long it would take a person to run through 50 long-wearing tires. A hell of a long time!

I'm a high mileage guy (100,000 miles over the past 8 years), and I still see no reason to stock 50 tires for personal use. I buy 10 at a time usually, unless I'm trying something new.

He's not buying for logic or purpose. He said that in his other post. It is because. He likes shiny stuff, expensive stuff and how good it is is not the primary factor.

The industry could use more like him, rather than buying cars and boats - or planes.

Still, I think there is a bunch of variety missing. Most art collectors I know (not many, but a few) select from different artists. I like to try as much variety as I can. When I rode your kinda miles, I could not really afford it.
Now I can, I have a kid to spend it on. I really spend it on me, he just rides.

Yeah, every shop I've worked at/managed had a guy like that.

We always fed his addiction, and appreciated the business, but never really respected the person.

You never disrespect the guy, but you can't buy respect.

Ah, the bulbmogul I presume. No longer collecting wads of Canon Camera equipment - now bike stuff :thumb:

Pair of Clement Strada USH 700-32. Some socks.

Picked up some white REI/Co-Op sun sleeves - haven't had worn them on a ride yet, but they actually do feel nice and cool. No grippers or anything, though, so I hope they stay in place well enough. It'll be nice not to slather/spray on sun screen.

Also picked up a KEG tool storage caddy thing - closeout for less than 5 bucks.

A bunch of spring/fall wear from Ribble's house brand... leg warmers, bib tights (x2), and some gloves... Including shipping came to <$100 CDN, hell of a deal. I managed to snag some bib shorts in the spring and the pad is surprisingly decent... almost Castelli quality support and if it last a full season nails the overall on price/value...

A Soma Hwy One compact road bar. I needed to get the reach down and they worked perfectly, I didn't want a shorter stem.

Sounds interesting. What are the pads like? I like the thin and flexible side of things and find the thicker, dense pads unbearable for rides of any significant duration.

Lezyne Super GPS with the speed, cadence, and heart rate monitor. Should get it soon, and then I can very myself to sleep when I find out how relatively slow I am on Strava.
