Away with work and no bike with me so I went out and bought a second hand one with little or no miles on it and one of the lads who works here said he'd buy it off me in a couple of months when I leave.
Its a Felt F75 (58cm)
Shimano 105 shifters
Shimano 105 front derailleur
Shimano Ultegra Rear derailleur
Shimano SPD+ Pedals
Shimano WH-R500 wheels
Felt 15 606ial bars
Easton EA30 headset
Got them to throw in a pair of shoes, well actually got them to drop the price on the bike and I got the shoe with that, Giro Apeckx
Here's some pics...

Figured I'd treat myself. Fit like a glove, so much more comfortable than my Diadora shoes, could spend all day in them. Only con is that the sole isn't as stiff as the carbon one in the Diadora, but on the plus side it means they're easy to walk in.

Been meaning to buy a reasonable light set of wheels but not wanting to spend to much money I got these for €128 inc P&P on eBay so plan now to build them onto a set of Stans which should keep it around below €400 with a weight of under 1,300 grams.
258 grams for the pair, mixed reviews online but seems they are supplied dry so will grease them up before use which should work.

They look nice. Any links to where you bought them?0 -

Rims and spokes shipped this morning, Stans rims and DT revolution spokes so can't wait to get em built:):) Just shy of €400 for the lot including spare spokes. Going to use existing cassette and skewers as I don't intend to change to often.

Bought Giant TCX 1 at the weekend from Martin Kearney.
A few jobs to do:-
[*]Swap cross tyres for slicks (done)
[*]Figure out how to attach some lights around the cross brake levers
[*]Sort out the low front mudguard (done)
[*]Find some place to hide it so the better half doesn't discover it (too late)
Short spin yesterday. Bike handles brilliantly & the 105 running gear is great. Not sure how well it climbs as I'm a bit out of form. But it descends like a demon - tracked perfectly through turns I'd normally hold back on. Straight as a die and able to take all the power I could supply.0 -

If half of the lumens (must resist the joke!) are there I ll be happy enough.
I'm disappointed you didn't go for the 11000lm model 0 -

Didn't exactly break the bank for these, but they arrived this morning.
My first cycling shoes (before fitting cleats in photo). Paired them with PD-R540 pedals and took them for a spin today - world of difference between these and my old toe clips. Shoe fit was thankfully spot on. No accidents yet though I only needed to get my foot out once in 45km. 0
