Got a 22 freewheel- 3/32 on ebay for a penny and shipping- light gear for a bike, but a good gear to have on a motorized bike, where it's going.

Nice! A word of advice: since it has a carbon steertube, move the stem down the stack so there's one spacer above it. That way, the stem's clamping force isn't on the exposed end of the steertube where it can more easily start a crack. Seen it happen... 
As for me... I'd like to switch my road-sport bike from 9sp to 10sp, maybe some Tiagra levers and a 105 cassette & chain. But I'm working about 16 hours a week until business picks up (LBS wrench) so it'll be enough of a challenge to just pay my bills for a couple months here.

Vintage steel. Trek 730 Already swapping some parts on it. This was somebody's race bike back in the 80's. I believe it had full campy Super Record.
Has some Campy Super record and some Suntour Cyclone now. Like to eventually find some Campy Ergo's for it.
My last two pickups are in the back ground.

I've decided to enter the world of CO2 inflation with the Xlab Nanoflator from PBK and the 10-pack of threaded 16g cartridges from Nashbar.

Yeah, about that not buying anymore bike stuff... 
These are kind of essential though!
Box of Hammer Huckleberry, box of Hammer Raspberry, box of Clif Shot Blok Tropical (I think I meant to order a different flavor...), SRAM Force 11-28 Cassette, 2 CO2's and two tubes. The Honey Stinger gels just weren't filling enough for my longer rides (had to eat one every 20-30 minutes). And the only reason I got sick of Hammers were cause I had last ordered a Chocolate box... Ugh. Tasted a Raspberry, hooked again!

Went to LBS today, picked up my first set of road shoes, a second 20 oz. polar water bottle and a dual cage holder.

Picked up some Louis Garneau Equipe bibs to hopefully cure the sore ass problem on the rollers.

LOL, actually this will be my first products from Williams. Only heard positive reviews about their wheels and have sent many emails with quick replies. Thought I'd give them a try and at least make everything match. Good prices too.

My most recent bicycling purchase is a new bicycle. Just purchased a 2012 Colnago Ace w/Ultegra groupo. It should arrive at the shop tomorrow with pickup on Tuesday. Photos to follow.
