Bont Vaypor+ shoes. Just ordered them online and am waiting for delivery.
Sure hope these mark the end of my multi-year search for a shoe that fits me properly.

Finished up building my (first!) wheelset. DT Swiss 350 hubs with H+Son Archetype rims.
Finally made the leap from mountain bike shoes and SPDs on my road bike to road shoes and SPD-SLs! These are Shimano R107 shoes and I bought black 105 pedals with them.

Raw Materials
Most recent thing I bought for my bike was a piece of 1" OD 3/4" ID 6061 aluminum tube:
Which had a couple day's worth of free time put into it to become this:
My old Peugeot has an odd seatpost size, 23 something or other i don't remember off the top of my head. But the old chrome steel seatpost needed to be put on a diet, so a new, custom milled and drilled alloy ought to work!

I gues a custom paint job counts as a purchase too. A teaser shot of my Noah Pro from the custom painter.

I don't remember what the limit on their lenses is. I seem to remember that Tifosi polycarbs only go to -3. I only need -0.5, so almost anything works for me.
The Radars seem to be the popular cycling glasses of the month, but the RX versions look kinda dorky - google image search Oakley Radar RX. I went with the Flak Jacket XLJ and you can't tell they're RX at all without putting them on. The lenses look like any other sunglasses.
If you must Radar-style have full wraps, I think Ruby Project has some full-lens options.
