Picked up a new set of 2011 Specialized Comp Road shoes. I can't find pictures anywhere on the net, but to my surprise they have the boa clips like the s-works shoes. They are sweet.

A 1980-something Schwinn something-or-other. I don't care - $10 will make for a nice beater. I just need to verify that it's all straight (one rear dropout looks a little awkward) and then it's off to get powdercoated.

Two camelback water bottles $4 each -- price matched them @ Performance.
Two Hutchinson "Fusion 3" tyres $30 each -- had to tell performance they marked them up by $10 compared to their catalog!

Got some Fizik Dual tape. Hard as hell to wrap evenly, and I'm not loving the way it looks. The feel is not bad, and it seems to be a durable product. This is a bit unfortunate, since I'm already thinking of getting rid of it. Live and learn, I guess...

The Panasonic catalog of the bikes of the same level are all Tange Champion (Schwinn specified the tube used on the bikes they stuck their names on).

I built some of those up at work. They're nice. I like how you can race it and then put a rack on it.
