I got a Power meter (Magene P505) and a computer (GEOID cc600)

I caved today... Got ER9, a Lexon 24mm crankset and few other items.  Stocking up a new build next year.  Based on prices over the last month, I saved between 150-200.00 overall.  Almost pulled the trigger on some carbon wheels but I couldn't find what I wanted. 

I picked a Ceccotti RF25 gravel frameset in white and a Magene power meter. I also picked up two XD cassettes, a Pass Quest 1x aero chainring and few small bits and pieces.

All the items I wanted were significantly reduced and I used two different coupon codes versus using one coupon code. I found the pricing ended up being cheaper that way.

My wife says it's technically not "saving money" if I'm actually buying stuff I didn't need

I know what you mean....  Next year's build is gonna be a departure from my more race oriented frames (not that I race).  Dr. recommended that I start riding more of an endurance style frame to relieve pressure on the back.  Got the wife on board, so now I just need to sell a bike or two.

20 inch wheelset, 26er fork, two larger purchases to hit one of the coupons as yet.
Next lot to hit another coupon - chains, Ti bolts, fishbone cables, misc spacers, etc.
And one last (and probably biggest) for a 700c wheelset from GoZone for "just in case"!

You actually tell your wife what you buy? My wife just wonders why strange packages arrive every week!

I had a set of 21mm ID Go-Zones in my cart.   So tempting.  I decided to wait until I settle on a frame and get something with 23mm ID for a little more.

I am liking the specs, wish they had free shipping though.

One change that I am seeing this year is no "3 off every 30" discount. If I remember correctly the limit was $9 per order - not a biggie if you were going to spend large amounts but nice for under $100 purchases coupled with regular coupons.

What 26" fork did you grab?

Finally decided to pull the trigger on the P505 Powermeter. The cheapest option includes the Z-race cranks and a BB, lol... so that's what I went with, and had to get a new chainring to go with it, lol.

$258 USD.

Unfortunately, about 50 bucks more with delivery to EU. Prices tend to vary a lot depending on delivery country.

But I like how the Magene PM becomes the "forum's standard"

Funny, I bought the same setup this morning. With coupon codes it was about $227 USD after tax. It was the cheapest option amongst the stand alone Magene PM and another PM/Zrace crankset with chainring. I don't plan to use the cranks though. I'm going to use the PM spider on my Riro carbon crankset instead.
