Snipped ^^

I used to order lots of stuff from UK since the USD has been strong against the Pound now for some time. Only thing I don't like about doing that is that I have to remember to inform my bank ahead of time (business day) that I'm making an international purchase. If I don't, they'll block the credit card sale and that REALLY fouls things up.

I've ordered from Wiggle, Ribble and PBK with good results.

I had this happen last week, which was weird since I've made plenty of purchases from Ribble without problem before. But apparently the Wells Fargo security computer picked up on some kind of pattern, and not only denied my Merlin purchase, but froze my account.

I got robo-called by Wells Fargo about 30 seconds later, pressed 1/2/3 to answer some questions, and it automatically unlocked my account and let me finish my order at Merlin..

So irritating at first (enraging, actually), but worked pretty well, in the end, this time.

Not carbon, not super light, <50 bucks
They are the most comfortable bars I have ever used.
Ride in the drops more, great for large wide hands.
Put them on my main ride a few months ago, just ordered another for my
backup.

Just got a new Moots lay back seat post. Things are coming together for the summer

The clamping/adjusting mechanism on their new posts rules. So simple and easy to dial in.

I couldn't resist these.

There are great but they do sort of neglect what the other element in steel is besides iron...

Bought a (used) Jones H-Bar for my cross/gravel bike.

Three Open Paves in 27mm, Three Schwalbe Ones in 25mm, two chorus cassettes, two chorus chains, and a set of UT bearings. Bargain goodness from Ribble.
