First Handlebra for me.
Not cheap but looks and feels awesome!

On top of it, Ray was great to work with.
I submitted the order and less than an hour later he called me to get back on a question I put in the comments.
Top notch!

Nice pick! Glad to see Ray still around. Got mine in 2014 (actually 2 rolls and still working on first one).

Says it's Panaria team issue, but I've never seen these colors before? In any case, I'm over the moon.

Panaria was orange. Unless my monitor is off, I believe that's a Landbouwkredit- Colnago team paintjob.

Time to trim a steerer. It will likely be catch and release as I don't have alot of plans to keep trimming steerer tubes and with the LBS scene currently overflowing I think I can handle this one. Measure 4 times, cut once, and don't forget to remove the compression plug first.

A stable and solid vice...and use a good saw!

Brake and shifter cable

My daughter got her first pedal bike. A 16 inch spawn yoji in green. The green was her choice.

With another child due shortly figured the expense and amortization of a really nice kids bike was worth it.

She'll be riding it without pedals for a few days to get used to it then into pedals. Planning on skipping training wheels.

Just bought the Abbey Bike Tools dishing gauge. Got sick of my slightly warped Park Tool gauge. I guess I took the nuclear option.

More orange than my camera wants to show. Resisted the urge to get more black accessories - adding in some high vis.

How are you going to build it up?

I think Force is the same as Star. First thing purchased is a Colnago carbon 28mm seat post. Not cheap these things...

Have these waiting to be installed:

Bora One 35 + 25mm Conti Comp ProLtd Tubs (hope they clear)
Record 11 (old 5-arm crank)

Not sure what bars to use yet. And truth be told, what I really wanna use on this is DA9100.

Landbouwkrediet is right. This particular scheme is from 2003, the year Popo rode for them and was third in the Giro. As they were not a top flight team, the bikes weren't photographed much back then.

Here's Ludo Dierckxsens in the Étoile de Bessèges.

I ordered up some NixFrixShun Ultimate Bicycle Chainlube. My roadbike is nice and quiet again.

1964 Schwinn Typhoon. It was languishing outside far too long

[Gummee]

In the further migration of 'all discs all the time' in the garage, I bought
a Kinesis 4S disc. (can't manage to figure out how to right click on this laptop)

Also bought a Deda Piega bar for the new-to-me Giordana to finish the build
