Then, when I got back home I ordered an Epic Hardtail to go with the hat.

I bought them on a bike forum in my country as new, BOA color matches the color of my new tarmac SL7. They are no longer available in the bike stores.

Extralight CH-02 Garmin mount. The plastic Garmin insert broke 36 miles into my first ride. For the money, Extralight could find a better insert. Cheap, hard, brittle plastic. Replaced it with a 10 year old K-edge insert, been fine since.
*Update: extralight replied saying the computer inserts have been breaking lately and they suspect a bad batch from their supplier. They will replace if you request it.
I ended up taking out the Garmin branded insert that came with the Garman branded out front mount, that's insert is even an improvement over the kedge. Solid connection with the edge 1040.

Now that the Covid insanity has waned we can finally travel international again.
Got this for my wife's bike. Dakine Bike Roller Bag
Test fit fine & total weight with bike was 37lbs so we can stash some stuff in there too

Some new mechanical disc calipers to try out. Heard nothing but good things so far. Install tomorrow.
Would be very interested to see how you go with these. They get excellent reviews and I am fully considering going with these (Campy 12 speed) over a hydraulic build.
