I got this for Christmas (it comes late around here) & I really like it. It easily handles my S7 phone in a case & I can use the screen through the plastic. It hasn't been hot here yet, so not sure how it feels against a sweaty back, but it just disappears on my back in the center pocket. It is snug in a few jerseys, but what I've worn so far it fit fine & was able to take the seat bag off the bike.

A Campagnolo Ultra Comp Crankset...

Merlin have them on sale for $195 or so, new in box.
Which at first sight is a great deal if you're looking to build up a 2013-ish super record-ish groupset.

HOWEVER.

They neglect to mention that Campy made them for one year only (According to the guy I spoke to at Campagnolo NA) and completely forgot or neglected to market them. (Another possible reason for them not selling well is that they named the technology 'Over-Torque' which is not exactly auspicious)
They also stopped making the tools for them same year, which are now impossible to find online. Except for one store in NZ who I'm hoping still have one left and it's not a stock error, and a single amazon seller who doesn't ship outside of Italy, and wants 250 Euro for it..

So far I've found one store in NYC that has the tools required to install the crankset, Conrad's so fingers are currently crossed, hoping the tool doesn't mysteriously vanish or break.

Besides being one of the best bike shops of any kind in NYC (save Bromptons) Conrad's has got to be among the finest Campagnolo shops in the country.

Just purchased a totally foppish seatpost to accommodate the woefully short railed Brooks Pro.

well, now you will have plenty of setback, thats for sure. I about bought one of those once, props to nitto for making a post with that much setback, its expensive, wish other companies made them too because the lugged look won't work on all bikes.

It's really expensive from most places, but I posted a WTB and someone told me about PlanetX having a Nitto sale. It cost me $76 shipped from the UK! Yeah, definitely won't look right on some bikes and I could have easily gone with a lighter saddle/post combo but I'm going with this for now. Just so happens that it matches the custom shaped lugs on my new frame pretty well.

Oh also bought a bunch of china carbon wheels.

Like the exact bike? Tell us moar..

I once sold a steel Look to someone in Portland, moved away for a few years, and then went to go buy a brown steel frame bike off craigslist after moving back...on my way to the address I thought "huh, this is familiar"...sure enough, same dude, same bike...just painted for some reason... Still wish I had that one.
