Recent purchases, fizik adaptive saddle, pirelli smartube and vittoria corsa graphene tires. All bought at a bike shop at near full retail. Won't do it again for tires, but was unsure if they'd fit so wanted ease of return.

I'll say great things about the shop for the saddle as they swapped it no questions asked gor another size after a month of use, and have fiddled with it a few times to get it in the sweet spot. Definitely worth paying full retail gor it.

Most recent order received - 7Mesh MK3 Cargo bibshorts

Rode them this morning! I’m between a XS and S, they suggested to size down as it would ensure good chamois placement. I’m happy with them after a couple hours. These will be for brevet and gravel races where having the leg pockets will come in handy for snacks and stuff.

Most recent order - VeloFlex Corsa EVO Tubeless tires to have on the shelf for when the roadies get worse. The current Hutchinson Fusion have so many nicks from the city streets, and are starting to show age cracks as well (on their 4th season). They’ve been great tires though, I’d order them again if I wasn’t excited about trying something new. Also, the Fusion5 fit true to size which is important on my old Argon Radon frame (max 26.5??? Or so)

Today´s the day and I am happy to share with you how the bike came out. I am more than happy with the result. Ready to rock´n roll with 6,69kg. Not very weight weenieish but a decent weight for an allrounder.

reviving some of my kit, picked up the MAAP AXIS LS jersey in black - think the Axis line looks top.

Specialized Power Saddle with Mirror (crazy expensive but amazingly comfortable and great in the drops).

Exclamation Well.....

This thing.... heck of a story behind it too.

Serotta Legend Ti - very light use - the former owner had a ritchey flat carbon bar installed with tiagra thumb shifters installed - everything else is 10 speed dura ace and ksyrium sl wheels. I'll try to restore it to drop bar operation and needs some other minor fixes but it's lovely, clean verging on like new shape and rides smooth as silk.

18 pounds by the bike shop scale. One staffer said "pleasingly light".
