Fizik Aliante R3 open, white.

https://www.fizik.com/us_en/aliante-r3-open-1.html

Still trying to figure out what the removable piece of plastic with the Fizik logo under the seat is for. Well, no, not really. But it does seem odd.

With the clip removed you can use accessories (bag, lights) that slot into the space. They call it Integrated Clip System (ICS) but they don't seem to be making accessories for currently.

Some aftermarket makers 3D print mounts for Varia lights, etc. that you can pop in there.

HTH, enjoy your saddle!

Got it, I always thought of them as an in the field tool, but I get it. Still need a chain pin tool out there, at least for me.

Just picked up a set of the silca sliding T handles. Started at a new shop and it seems like I'll be splitting duty between front and back of the shop. These t handles, plus their folio case will be a good, easy single thing to grab when I'm moving spots to have "enough" with me to do some work.

Picked up a Campy Potenza 11 Hydraulic groupset. Thinking in replacing my moots Pyschlo-X SL with a disc gravel/CX bike.

I put a deposit down for a Waltworks custom fork this morning but I guess I haven't purchased it yet. My most recent purchase then would be a Battle Lake rack bag. I've had one for years and loved it but it has had a rough life and its time to replace it.

I picked up a 2015 SR gruppo & wheels from a fellow PL (and VSalon) member to update my '05 Steelman Stage Race from it's original Record 10S.

"It goes to 11"

After putting a fair amount of miles on the Peg, I came to the conclusion that I wanted another disc bike. The Peg is awesome and wont be leaving the stable but it's not the most versatile bike for deciding to "see where this road goes".

Silca latex tubes and a new blinky.

Next up is likely new tires. The contract 5000s are starting show significant wear after 2500km. May wait until next year, not going to be riding as much with a newborn in the house.
