4) Fizik Microtex Bar Tape, white with logos. $10 including shipping.

This came with one of my saddles. I don't care for the logos so I bought some plain white Fizik tape instead. This is my fave tape by far though. Very grime-resistant. Two rolls of tape (one for each side) plus bar ends -- for some reason there seems to be only one strip of finishing tape, although I usually use electrical tape anyway, it stays better. Here's what the tape with logos looks like:




5) Look Quartz Carbon Pedals, $110 including shipping.

New, never mounted, will ship in packaging with all hardware and shims. These retail for $199. Also got these for my commuter rebuild project. I've just kind of changed my mind about them. They are bigger and bulkier than they looked in pictures, which was offputting to me. They also have a unique shoe/pedal interface requiring the use of shims (with all shoes -- the pedals come with 3 or 4 different shim styles) which seemed like it would be a bit fiddly. They are very light though. 230 grams per pair for this model.
