SaddleI have this saddle in 135mm with EVA pad. It is very good if you prefer narrow near flat saddles (the pelvic support here is quite small). Very similar perfomance to my PRO Falcon, only wish it to be not short nosed.

SaddleI have this on my gravel bike. I have a lot of miles/time on it and it is excellent. Highly recommended.

ONIRII PD-06 Road Bike Carbon Lock Pedals Bicycle SPD Self-Locking Steel/Titanium 6 Degree Pedal with Locking Plate for Road NEW
PedalsI'm using the Onirii PD-06Ti pedals on one of my bikes, they've been great after I replaced the glue-like grease with something less viscous. For cleats, I use Exustar E-RSL11 cleats, and I have no lateral play. These cleats are also sold as Garmin Rally RS cleats - they're exactly the same thing, as Exustar makes cleats for Garmin. And you can save quite a bit of money by forgoing the Garmin-branded packaging.
2Roll Bike Grips Handlebar Tape Silicone Bar Tape Shock Absorption Anti-slip Durable Reusable wrap Tape for Road Bicycle ONIRII
Bar-TapeI used ESI RCT wrap for a number of years. It's a silicone tape that is smooth but grippy and you can vary the amount of cushion/firmness by how tightly you wrap it. ESI was expensive and they are discontinuing it cause it's getting more expensive to make. This Onrii tape is a great replacement for it. It's textured on one side, but besides that it's very similar. Been a few months and I'm liking it very much.

2025 Large Size Cycling Shoes Men Breathable MTB Cleat Shoes Self-Locking Racing Road Bike SPD Shoes Ultralight Bicycle Sneakers
Shoes&SocksI figured I should report back on these shoes because I gave them a bad rap previously. I said I regretted ordering them because they were not good and I didn't think they'd hold up. Well, I've likely put over 1500mi on them so far and they're holding up great. They're still not great shoes, as I don't find them to be very stiff and they could be more comfortable. Also, the way the single BOA straps tighten makes it hard to get a good snug fit on either the toe or the midfoot or both (2 boas or a 1 boa and a toe strap would probably help a lot). BUT, the BOAs have held up great. The shoe still looks great. It's a mesh material and it stays very cool and dry-ish for summer riding. Honestly, for the very little money I paid for these, you could get a worse shoe.

Bar-TapeI recently bought this tape because a friend in my group was using it. It looks pretty cheap, it doesn't even have a brand name, but after using it for a while, it feels pretty comfortable on the drops, and its texture is quite non-slip. I would buy it again.

Bar-TapeIf you like Supercaz tape, this seems to be the real thing at 1/3 US retail (I've bought it a couple times). The various sellers of PU tape that looks like Cinelli Caledio - also pretty nice, not as durable as actual Cinelli but very close.

Bar-TapeI've had good luck with the Bucklos tape and also the Supacaz lookalike tape. I prefer the supacaz style tape and recently replaced a set when i did some maintenance but it could easily have gone a few thousand more miles. Supacaz "style" that I've used several times now with good luck. I ordered some more to keep in my parts bin

LightsI have been very impressed by this Towild BR800S front light. 800 lumens (they have brighter available, but for road use, this is more than enough) cut off beam for drivers long stated run times, plus replaceable battery (this was a massive selling point for me - I carry a spare just in case on dark mornings) good sturdy mount (I use the go pro mount under my garmin) wireless remote control included All for less than £22 which I thought was staggering.
