Unfortunately, I think the solution is going to involve a new pair of shoes with room for thicker socks, et al. Probably can find something on sale at Performance or REI that won't break the bank and that I can try on. If the silk liners and shoe covers help to 50ºF, I'll be happy. The insoles might also help. Winter doesn't last very long here. Yesterday it was 70! Getting off the bike and walking around a bit seems to help warm up the toes. I've started moving my feet around in the shoes while riding to prevent cool down. The insoles might help a bit there.
ah! some ppl up here who are clipless will change pedals for the winter cuz they want to wear regular boots. I used mini clips to help keep my feet planted and used whatever shoes/boots I had at home

Got a new Deda Superleggero Seatpost. The Ritchey superlogic 25mm I had purchased ended up having too much offset. The Deda has a 12mm which is perfect for me. Out of the box it weighed 178g which is what I was expecting. Sanded off the clear and logo's, then cut off 90mm. With all stock pieces it came in at 142g. Planning on P.O.P. Yokes and carbon cradle. Should be able to get it down to 120g no problem.
LOVE how this post looks and it matches the bike like it was made for it.

Not insulting. You are entitled to your own opinion. In my personal opinion, this bike has plenty of "Soul". No need to experiment, when I know what I want. What I got is what I want. I know a lot of people don't find all black bikes to be appealing and I understand that. My kits are where I like to get flashy. Might be bland to you, but perfectly Hot every single time I look at it and that's all I have ever wanted. I miss my Enve's on it, but for the winter riding, its smarter for me to use these.

I tend to ride 2 lane country roads with no shoulder...quite a bit.
Electric cars are sneaky
Rather not look over my shoulder and stay in my TT position on the TTbike
I can call out car back in pace lines pretty much before anyone else..no matter where I am in the pace line
I don't have to depend on someone else to call out car back.
On casual rides, I can ride 2 abreast and fall in line with plenty of time.
sure a mirror can accomplish some of this... but I prefer to ride mirrorless especially on the TT bike.. and looking back on the TT bike is not an option.

@spdntrxi I'd certainly get one if I could point it forward to detect / predict cats and squirrels about to cross my path.

Only used it once and it seems to work just fine.
It's made in China so I don't plan on leaving it alone when plugged in.
Here's the link to the one O bought, it seems to be the manufacturer or imported. I got it fast in just a few days and it was very well packed.

It is a 2L and you can fit the chain or cassette or derailleurs or brakes. Obviously the crank and chainrings won't fit.

I ordered one of those after reading your report.
Motivated by the idea of the 20,000 mile chain...
