Just paid a friend 70,000 Korean Won (currently about $60.00 USD) for a new carbon fork to be delivered/installed in January. It's nice to have friends who work for the manufacturer. :D

My holiday haul (thanks to friends and family)...

I just bought MKS sylvan pedals (pink) and matching MKS toe clips in pink. They are in transit right now....hope to get them tomorrow. I will probably change to clipless pedals in the future but, have never used clipless so, I figure I better get used to riding a fixed gear first.

Its a store in costa mesa, ca where the owner sells cameras and his son sells fixed gears, go figure!

Here is a list of crap I bought myself over the last 30 days or so, in the name of holiday shopping:

A Thomson stem
Two sets of Ritchey Pro bars (44x26 and 42x31.8)
A Reynolds Ouzo Comp stem
An Easton EA70 stem
A Bontrager stem
Knockoff track wheels
A single speed conversion kit for my MTB
Cargo cycling shorts
A Campy brakeset
A really cheap brakeset
Profile bullhorns
Origin 8 bullhorns
An FSA seatpost
Cross levers
A FSA integrated headset (it fits)
A FSA semi-integrated headset (wrong one )
A nice wheelset dirt cheap
Two new freewheels
A freewheel tool
Track pedals
A stack of carbon fiber headset spacers
A Minoura Rim Drive trainer
Pearl Izumi arm warmers that do not fit (anyone?)
DiaCompe TT levers

Velocita 42cm Track Drops, originally $140, got em for $70 bucks, couldn't turn em down

i prefer the v2c. the cadence display on the v3 isnt readable.

i got 123aas for $20, and they really arent worth that.

how are they not worth $20- AND what do you think is better for less than $20?

i'm really excited for your answer.

i prefer to ride with one set of handlebars at a time, and that handlebar needs to provide all the hand positions id like. with these handlebars sitting at home because they do not provide those uses, the cash would be more useful, and i should make a decent profit. for under twenty, you could easily find some take off road bars that will provide more utility.

CETMA cargo rack. Very excited about that purchase

Velo Orange Porteur bars

really? i find it to be pretty readable, i mean, its not massive but it isnt like the reading is microscopic

i prefer it to be a full size display, but maybe it doesnt deserve the real estate when heart rate is available.

fox 831 forks
saint cranks
formula "the one"brakes

yup.

Just got a White Eighthinch crank arm set, 46t 170mm. I now have to flip over my bottom bracket because the chain line is crap. I'm putting this on my 80's Motobecane, so hopefully when I flip the BB it will be pretty good, otherwise I will be getting a new BB.

Well i supposed your right if someone has the same preference as you, i was mostly wondering if your comment was a shot at their quality.

the quality is quite satisfactory, and they are very light compared to steel bars.

I like to ride with no less than three sets of handlebars on any given day.

An Xtracycle for the Trek MTB ($500) and an OnGuard Beast chain/lock (on sale $54). Fits perfectly as a belt. Good times :)

Origin8 48t chainring and 17t cog, Origin8 Banjo chain tensioners, KMC black/yellow chain. Ordered them through work, should be here Tuesday.

I don't usually like the chromed-out look, but that bike looks great!
