That's an awesome steal. Nobody caught the auction before it ended? God bless "no reserve"

Just sold some tiagra group parts (went to rival) and now have the funds for SRAM red cranks :D

Used handlebars are worthless, especially like they alloy/old school bars. I can't even given them away to my local LBS to put in their Clearance Bin. I feel bad just throwing them away, so they are still sitting in my parts bin.

I need to chill out for a while. I've been spending money like a rich trophy wife. Why can't I be satisfied with the 5 pair of bib shorts and 5 or 6 short sleeve jerseys that I have!? I just ordered a Castelli Jersey, another pair of Garneau bib shorts, a set of Team Felt bibs and jersey, and Pearl Izumi Elite LTD short sleeve and long sleeve jerseys:D

Got some Vredestein DuoComp Tires. Anyone used these before? I searched and there is no mention of them anywhere on Bikefourms. They came highly recommended. And I have to say that after my first ride they feel very fast!

Bought a new bike, so it was time for new bling.

Get an Edge 200. Costs way less, and has all the vital features one could ever want on a bicycle.

Well, considering I just bought it an hour ago... bah. Came with a free heart rate monitor at least.

I'll probably stroke out after I learn how much it doesn't do on the first ride anyways. YAY

No HR, or cadence.

Just bought a set of Fulcrum Racing Zero Ltd. Edition for my Colnago C59.

Took them out for a ride this morning...what a sweet set of wheels.

Here is a review:

I will post pics of the wheels in my bike and a more complete report.

The Edge 200 is overpriced for how little features it has. You can't even do cadence/hr since it has no ant+.

So far it's been great! I'm not enough of a technical rider to tell a difference on the seat seat post alone, as I put it and the saddle on at the same time, but it looks awesome on the bike!

Sadly, this is true. You'd be better off using Strava off a smartphone than using the 200.
