Overshoes, arm warmers, knee warmers, winter headband, socks, new light, jockey wheels, embrocation (first time shaving & purchase, so I got a variety lol), chamois cream, K-Edge Garmin mount, Nuun tabs (awesome special on wiggle atm).
Still need a Gilet but going to go local on that one, not risking flappies.

My SL3 turned out to be heavier than I wanted with the wheels I'm using. I'll put up with that on hills a bit for the speed on the flat sections, which is useful as I don't quite have the sheer power to crank up to 60+km/h.doggatas wrote:Too much bike for me. I had my eye on the SL0 but when I crashed my old bike there was 14 week wait for the sl 0 and given the price of the di2 bits was the difference between the sl1 and sl0 I got the sl1.g-boaf wrote:
Very nice list. That will be one hell of a bike.
And as for the hills, I'm only 60kg and that makes up for the rest. Just need to get my heart rate a bit lower and the rest will be right.
I also got some new SIDI shoes and Giordana long bib-tights since it is getting cold now.
