Scorpius SRS MTB Shoes that I use for my road bike. Really like this because of the looks and it's designed exactly like the road version only you can walk on it.
Also got a pair of Continental Grand Prix Sport Race Tires in 28mm. They are my first set up Continental tires so I'm thinking it's gonna be a big upgrade from my beefy 440 gram each Specialized Espoir Sport Tires.

I ordered a couple bibs and a jersey from PB. I won't return them after using them for a season though...

Giro Hex MTB helmet, which is probably gonna be to big for me. Didn't realize until after I ordered it that Giro's sizes run bigger then the other brand helmet I use.

New headlight. Old one on top for comparison.
It's a little heavier and bulkier than I'd like for my road bike, but with such short days I needed the extended battery life it has over my old Axiom Lazer 200. 50 mile round trip to my gym, and I get out of work when it's dark, so yeah. Gonna be useful.

Oh yeah nice bike frame. But then you set it right down on that rough ground! Yup that is my Audi and the frame was dry so its not like it would do anything. Here is a picture of both the car and the frame that is all done except for clear coat:

Well, I paid for one of these today: Cyclocross : 2016 Giant ToughRoad SLR 1
as the '09 Boulder has been officially declared "retired" after ~20000km.
Looking forward to it.

Kurve Snake is a great saddle, I really want to try out the new carbon rail version.

Performance's Black Friday sale started today. Great prices - their best of the year - on tires and tubes.
I just picked up a pair of their Forte Pro+ road tires 700x25 for $11.40 each (These tires list for $40, and they usually sell them for ~$25-30), and 4 tubes for $2.99 each (half the regular price if you buy 4). I don't believe there is a better road tire that you can buy for close to that price - 120 TPI, folding bead, and reasonably puncture resistant and durable. IMHO, anything even slightly better would cost a minimum of $25 even at clearance sale prices.

I've got a couple hundred kms on the new cassette and chain now. Shifting is quick and precise - better than the Ultegra cassette and chain that they replaced.
I'm liking how quiet this KMC X10sl chain runs!
Have to see how well it wears...

I just bought this De Rosa. I'm done for a while, except for consumables, and maybe a less tight cassette for the De Rosa (It has an 11-23 9-speed, which is, IMHO, silly on a 53/39 crank). Am looking at a 13-26 or 13-28.
