Touché! All in good fun.RyanH wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2018 7:42 pmMy initial reaction is LOL, did you also factor in all of my bike builds in 2017? If not, you're in for a doozy.
But in all seriousness, I believe I have mentioned it in this thread but I keep track of my personal finances through mint.com where everything is tracked down to the cent. I highly recommend it to everyone. I have a personal shopping budget that I'd consider is pretty low in relation to my post tax income (we're talking low single digit percentage). So even in spite of my seemingly gratuitous spending, I closed out 2017 with an 8 month surplus in my personal shopping budget since I'm pretty diligent about what price I pay for things and I sell nearly everything that isn't bolted to the ground.
And if it helps ease your mind, at the age of 31, my wife and I just bought our first home in Hollywood Hills, again despite my seemingly gratuitous spending. I probably won't have any flashy builds any time soon since, as my friend put it, I have real LA bills now, not just bills, but LA bills. Which is kind of a bummer since I really had an itch for a Parlee Z-Zero in snow camo.
Anyway, moral of the story is probably that financial advice is probably best reserved when you actually know their financial situation, because let's face it, some people make a shit ton of money.

I wish, I asked them to switch it once I started actively using Paceline but never heard back. I made it ages ago I think to try to buy some Obemayers from Ryun. I was in a rush and couldn't come up with anything better than my initials.glepore wrote:Now I know what your Paceline handle is an acronym for

So, current weight is 6.1kg with the new wheels. I'm still skittish on descents after my crash so I don't have a full feel for these wheels but my preliminary take is that these are the goldilocks wheels I've been looking for: superb braking (with 9100 brakes), uber comfortable while retaining that sense of speed (like gliding over ice) that the deeper wheels have and the added bonus of being relatively light.
Here's the current build list:

I'm biased b/c I work for Mint's parent company and used to work for Mint, but YES it's a great way to manage finances. You can set savings goals for bigger expenses such as houses or things made by THM.RyanH wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2018 7:42 pmI believe I have mentioned it in this thread but I keep track of my personal finances through mint.com where everything is tracked down to the cent.

Mmmm mmm....
Amazing, this is 60g less than my VumaQuad/Fibre-Lyte combo. Now I know where to shave weight as a last resort.
The crank itself is about 50g lighter than Red22 BUT the BB is around 30g heavier than FSA PF30. Red22 is definitely the better deal but I think it looks ugly which is why I got this.
Damn Ryan, I think you bought the crankset that I was eying in the for sale section recently. Looks amazing and will definitely bring this build to the next level.
Congrats!
Congrats!

Suuurrrweeeeeet
Edit: aren't you at all tempted to keep the Fibre Lytes now you've seen how gorgeous they look with the cranks?!
