Nashbar thermal bib-tights for $19. Yes they probably aren't the best but for $19, how can you go wrong.

Had to buy a new cold (Ok, cool) weather beanie with earflaps because the wife decided to put my wool Walz hat in the dryer. Sigh. At least I got to wear it once.

I've had these bibs since the beginning of the season, best.chamois.ever. the leg grippers are nice too, kinda has the grippy woven in with the fabric, instead of little nubs, its much more comfortable. the front is really low, so if you have to pull un arret pipi... you can. the straps are a little narrow, and widely spaced though, kinda non-traditional, and they feel more like suspenders, and have left like an imprint on my shoulder after 60+ mile rides, but I've never thought of the straps as uncomfortable. My Descente Bibs are a L, these are an XL, so size up.

Picked up an inexpensive Carbon Fork for my Cannondale project. Need a seat post and then clean up the parts off the Centurion and see what I have. Hopefully I can get some time in on it after work a few days this week in between getting firewood split and maybe get it on the road this weekend. I am starting to think I may end up with a bike about 21ish pounds...not bad for a 63cm frame.
Finnaly got this bike on the road today. The Centruion parts were just too far gone. I picked up a donor Novara Trionfo that had a full 105 SC group on it last week. Just seemed to be the way to go and a good price on the Novara. The Novar was actually a really nice bike with a Tange Prestige frame and I was able to sell it today and make a few bucks off that to cut my build cost.
The nickle and dime stuff came today today. The 105SC FD was a no go with the Cannondale frame 26.8 clamp needed a 31.8). Had a 105 braze on that was given to me this week so $15 for a Brazon adaptor, 90mm stem (63 cm frame to get the bars up for my back), bar tape, cables, BB cable guide, stem shims and some other parts for other bikes etc came $120. $30 of that was a new chain for my DD T700 and then I also had $20 off a over $100 purchase that came in the mail yesterday so that helped.
I haven't tallied it all but looks like I built a R800 (1998) level bike for under $300. Once I had all the parts in one spot assembly went very well. The RD requird almost NO adustment. I shifted it up a couple gears by hand put the cable to it a little loose, adjusted the H-L stops and that was it. It shiftered perfect with no adjustment on the cable tenssion. The FD was almost as easy. That will never happen to me again. LOL
I also saw an add for a Velo Orange Porteur rack on CL for $60 firm (they are $160 new) with a rattle can paint job. Went after it and the guy hooked me up with his cast offs that included 3 thread-less stems, Campy 8 speed avanti Brifters, FD, a Camp RD and brakes. Well loved parts but they all seem usable just need to find a bike to put them on. He also gave me the above mentioned 105 FD and a Campy record crank but I need to heli coil left peddle hole. The rings look new. They may end up on the Cannondale as they are 52/39 and I could use just a bit more low end then the 52/42 with the hills I have around here.
So my Raleigh thats not really a Raleigh that I wanted to build as a Porteur is now a Porteur after a couple hours with some paint stripper. Rode it to the LBS to pick up the other parts. Need to find a nice wicker basket to stick on it now for grocery runs

Razor, that is seriously the ugliest tape I have ever seen.
However, I'm sure it will go great with your dragon sticker.

I've been upgrading my groupset from old Shimano 105 to Sram Force. I recently purchased Force shift levers, derailleurs, and brakes. I also picked up a set of 50mm carbon clinchers from the group buy.
Also picked up some tools- chain whip and cassette removal tool for changing the Sram cassette between wheelsets.
Next on the docket, Force crankset, Yokozuna Reaction cables, Speedplay Zero pedals. Then maybe a new set of bars with double grooves to accommodate the new under-tape routing of the Sram cables.
