You are going to love it. Got one about 6 months ago to video the kids riding bikes and such. Great quality. The only true pain in the ARZ is finding a way to mount it on the helmet that consistently keeps it aligned the way you want it. Once you do, and it will take several try and see, it will be golden. Enjoy!

Just bought these for my new race build. Wanted something cheap, light, and reliable.

I will. I currently run the Nashbar shifters with DA7800 because they are a bit smaller than the 7800 ones. They seem to work fine. This will be my first try on the "whole" gruppo. $233 for everything is cheaper than just shifter for most groups.

After attempting to true my rear wheel and noticing a ding in the rim from the day last summer when some a$$h0le pulled the group through a minefield of potholes and I flatted, I'm springing for a new Kinlin niobium 27.

I had a very rare day and spent some money on something other than groceries or race entry.
Giro Havik II- GREAT price, fit really nicely, amazing lenses, look awesome. My other glasses have good lenses, but the frames are not good for riding.
TruVativ GXP BB- Because my other one is shot after 5 months.
Vittoria Rubino Slick 25mm- Great tires, cheap, light, comfy.
Shimano 105 10 speed cassette 11/25- Cheap, works great.
McDonalds Banana Milkshake- Overpriced, but delicious. I've had a decent week. Suck it.

Bike ≠ Car ≠ Ped.
Take a good look at your crank, too, if it's the current Truvativ/Sram type with the spider press-fitted onto the axle. I had one of those develop a wobble as the spider worked its way loose, and it then trashed the BB. My experience is limited, honestly, but when three out of four GXP cranks I've ridden (two on my bikes, and the third was a shop bike) start wobbling enough to rub the chain on the FD in a tall gear combo, I'd rather use something else.

Ah, ok. In my case it was two Truvativ Elita cranks and a 2010 Rival that all developed the same symptoms.

Just ordered a Sella Italia Prolink saddle, in white:
To replace the narrower, harder (but just as white, and probably a tad lighter) saddle that came with my Scott CR1.
