I found a hitch mount bike rack at Goodwill for 7 bucks, and I recently ordered some socks from Nashbar.

Two new cassettes. The Dura Ace was over one hundred dollars more than the 105
but had a 82 grams (2.8oz) weight savings.

Tell me about it. I bought this to go with a matching left shifter I already own so I can upgrade from Sora with the thumb shifters..
I have a beat up old set of 105 shifters from the same era that are missing the nameplates and hoods, but they might as well be chunks of trash since, apparently, Shimano has made damned sure there is no way anyone will sell 3rd-party replacement hoods or nameplates. Maybe I'm paranoid, but I can't figure any other explanation other than Shimano wanting to kill 9-speed and stop competing with their own legacy stuff.
And I wonder if there would be a market for some 3d-printed copies of the 5500/6500/6510/5510 nameplates?

I had some Vittoria EVO CX III tires put on my wheels for my Pinarello. three tires and installation came to over $400. Mine have the green stripes, which will match my bike.

I have not finished purchasing it, but I put a down payment on a Trex Domane 4.0c, need to get some shoes and spd pedals (plus bottle cages tubes inflators etc)
Hope to pay it off in a month.
It will be my first road bike.

Wait, you paid $400 to for 3 tires and to have them mounted? For reals? That seems incredible expensive.

I realized that after I posted the comment, so I went and priced the tires...at $65/tire you're still only looking at $195. $200 to mount them seems insane...so I didn't delete the comment.
Not dogging anyone if thats the price, but I know people that have had all the tires on their car replaced for the same price.
