New club kit: Bib shorts, SS jersey (blue version), windshell vest (white version).

Nice to see stuff in women's XS sizes. I passed on the logo'd warmers, knickers, socks, shoe covers, gloves, caps and baselayers. Even I have my OCP limits! :rolleyes:

Nope, just transferred funds from my PayPal account. All those $49.95 subscription fees have added up.

Got a mid/higher-end bib short from Pearl Izumi outlet today. My bro-in-law got a jacket, and a few $15 ss jerseys from them.

On a larger sale, my bro-in-law got a black Look 555 w/ultegra compact.

That's great! Dan the Look Supporter will be happy. :lol:

Got Keo pedals off of Performance. It's not as cheap as pbk; but not much after the discounts. Also got 90mm & 100mm ritchey 4-axis stems to take up space on the steerer tube, pedro's chain keeper plastic thingy and some bling bling bike grease.

Grease that is so incredibly hip that your friends will be impressed even though they can't see it and you don't tell them about it.

I just switched from GU to Hammer Gel for the sole reason that Hammer comes in a jug (easier to fill the flask). The espresso is a little too sweet/intense/rich... but if I cut it with vanilla, it's perfect.

jsigone 11-25-07 05:03 PM

that frame is SOOOO clean, you can eat off it...for now LOL

We gotta do a MTB ride after you get it built up.

Did Sycamore burn, or is it still in good shape?

What's funny is the small print on the side: Refrigerate opened bottles for storage longer than two months. Ha... those bottles barely last two weeks!
