Just bought two more LG bib shorts from nashbar. In addition to the 50% off msrp discount, there is also another 21% discount today. So, total price including Texas sales tax was $85.50 or $42.75 each, which is a great price for this quality garment. Now that we're heading into the main riding season, it's nice to not have to constantly be washing cycling clothing.

Surly Hurdy Gurdy

I got one of those Magellan Cyclo 315 HRs for pretty cheap. My plan is to use it mostly for touring and directions at other times. I don't know what I am going to do with all the HR goodies but I guesS I could start doing some training and get my fat arse into better shape.

A new helmet. Bell Volt XC for 59.99 + tax from nashbar. Last time I bought one of these helmets was over ten years ago from my LBS, and it cost something like $130 IIRC. I like the visor to keep the sun out of my face. I've also got a spare unused set of pads for this helmet.
Oh, and I've taken a ride in the LG bib shorts, and they're the best I've ever had. Super good fit and great Coolmax chamois. The additional two pairs I bought should arrive by tomorrow. They're now out of stock in my size (medium), and am really glad I got them.

With my road build in progress, ordered some Bruce Gordon Rock 'n' Roads for the Space Horse, as it transitions into a full time monster dirt/townie tourer bike. Not many more group road rides in its future.

Bicycle tubes. The LBS shop had a buy 3 get one free deal... so I picked up 4. Then I repaired two old tubes I had. Those six... plus the three I have in three separate saddle bags... should last a while.

The LG PF bibs are currently my faves. Hard to beat for the price. I've got a new kit coming and there's a slight chance the bibs could turn out to be better. Stand by for a report.

Two SRAM PC-7X 1/8" chains for $27.90 total. This is a great chain at a very good price, not to be confused with the crappy PC-1.

purchased aventon's push wheelset and a new chainwhip. trying to keep my bike up and running while i take my time and see if i can fix up my current wheels, so far 2 separate shops basically said they can't be fixed/not worth fixing but rims are true and i feel like they only need new bearings/axles

This fork was less new than I paid for the used (straight steer) ENVE canti fork I put on the Zona. How could I resist? I'll probably get something custom whipped up next year.

Had it for a year on a Felt F1X and it made for noise-free braking with both basic Cantis and TRP Mini-Vs (8.4 & 9s).
