Not sure if you were talking to me, but mine are the Keo Blade Carbon Cromo pedals. 99% sure Ridethatbike's are as well though I cannot tell if they are the Cromo or Titanium axles

Bought a Merek carbon saddle. Advertised at 95 grams but actually weighs a hefty 100 grams.

It lasted more like 8 hours. Then it cooled down, and I was sitting down on the couch with the laptop, which reignited the heat. Amazing stuff.

Actually it's not. The sides flex somewhat like a leather saddle. But then again, it may not be comfortable for some riders. So far I haven't had any discomfort issues. I've taken it on hard rides in the 30-40 mile range but I have yet to do any rides over 50 miles. I took a chance buying this saddle but felt better about the decision after reading some other posts regarding the Merek.

As well as:
Sugoi Fleece-lined skullcap
Merino wool socks

Most were from holiday sales (jacket was 50% off at paragon sports in nyc), some (socks) were out of necessity.

I really like that bike, btw I think it's a 10-4 because of the sram on it.

Louis Garneau Elite bib shorts. Haven't tried them out yet.

An additional pair of my Krusty the Clown shoes. My current pair are more than two years old and I noticed these started getting scarcer, so the writing's on the wall.

Works well actually. It's very compact and actually does fit in your jersey pocket. I wouldn't call it a full-time stand but it does get the job done. And it works on my SRAM Force crank although it's designed for the Shimano family.

Just don't use it for parking bikes in the garage for the winter season.... :innocent: :D

(actually, I'm thinking about the plain FlashStand "portable tune-up stand" ;))

Just installed my new Speedplay Zeros this morning.

I hope that they don't send me a cease and desist letter for mentioning their company name.

The club I go to decided to get new spinning bikes. Problem is they sent the old ones off two months prior to getting the new ones. So I have no place to spin my legs. Ordered this. Just don't know if I will put my old Mountain Bike on it or my new Carbon Road Bike.
