Those look beautiful, good choice! Can't wait to see the finished product.

Material strengths aside, when I look back at carbon and aluminum frames of years gone by most of them look pretty dorky by today's standards. A nice steel frame never goes out of style IMO.

No it does not. Thanks! I probably won't have it finished until spring of next year, but it's going to be amazing once it's done.

CONTENT: I bought some hilariously bright court shoes for fencing! In a sport where literally every piece of equipment is white, I'm not sure how well these will be received. They fit incredibly well, though, so gently caress the haters. ASICS Gel Domain 3, if you were wondering where to get some foot-beacons of your own.

I got this bundle too, but am I crazy or did it include a PS+ card too? I thought the image showed it but I can't find anything about it being included in my order details.

Yea, it was the batman game, the witcher game, and a year of plus.

If either of you gents wanna sell witcher for like 30$, lemme know. Stupid budget and it's stupid making me have to pay bills instead of vidja gamin! :argh:

The only thing I bought was The Kingsman because it was a fun movie. I'm not even sure that wasn't just a regular DoTD. So much clothes and jewelry. I would have bought awesome shoes but my feet are between a regular and a wide in most shoes and it depends on the exact model even in brands what fits correctly.

What the heck did you do to yourself??

There are only a couple fencing-specific shoes that I could find, and none I could go try on locally. I think these are marketed for volleyball, but they have a nice thick heel cushion and grippy soles so v:shobon:v

I don't know, I hear "En garde"; next thing I know I see my sport-agnostic laces as my legs fly past my head. Woke up a few hours later...they had cut the shoes off, along with the rest of my clothes. Long recovery, but it taught me an important lesson:

I asked in the product recommendation thread and two goons said get a Saris Bones:

http://www.saris.com/product/bones2

It's 3x your price, but from the looking around I did, there's not a lot for sub-$50, and you wouldn't want them. If you get a cheap one, one or more of the following will happen:

1) It will straight up fall apart in a year or less.
2) It will frequently come loose, so every ten miles you'll have to pull over and tighten all the straps.
3) Some part of it will scratch/dent/otherwise damage the gently caress out of your car.

Late on the reply here, but it does come with a free year of PS+ and it's in the form of a digital code they're going to email you, not a card iirc. You'll probably see it when your order ships (mine hasn't yet so I can't confirm 100%).

The TV is tilted and I just lay in my seat. Could do with being lower but absolutely fine and sound works well as central.
