New Miche BB for the track bike. I'll post pic's of the old one once the new one comes in and I can replace it.
This is the old BB from the previous owner and apparently, he drilled the cups (who knows why). It is BAD. Stay tuned.

I did not as I already know what my butt and I prefer, a longer/ narrow/ thinner sporty saddle for my often times longer rides on my roadie; I've been riding ariones for years now nonetheless. I did my homework pre-purchase as well.

I think the red will look weird on my graybieks, but it was cheap and I've been wanting to try it.

I almost bought a Fizik Pave cause it was in the half off bin at my LBS. Couldn't find any solid reviews on it though.

I have the Evolution on the S2. My ass <3's it. I didn't get the care wipes, though.
They came stock on the S2. They are now on the Leader (got Vuka Sprints for the S2) and I love them even more. Short and shallow road drops are the bees knees.

Just bought a capo jersey for 55$ on sale. it's a small and black and fits perfectly. Also bought capo bibs...for wayyyy too much. And new bar tape though I have yet to figure out how to wrap my bars with the tektro lever bars. Also I didn't notice but my bars are smaller in diameter and so the end caps dont fit. considering just shaving them down with a knife. :/
