Seeing Red - Bike Pics
Made a few changes over the Winter (saddle, tires, bar wrap, seat bag), still looking at wheels maybe later this year. Not traditional, but I like the red.

I like the look a lot. I'm particularly fond of colored tires. Tell me something about the bar tape.

Great Looking bike. Quick question - Why two computers?

Thanks guys.
fmw, It's Fizik Microtex Bar Tape, has sort of a leather look. Feels good, several colors available.
uga8589, The second computer is a Garmin GPS, I don't use it all the time, so still like the basic Cateye for total mileage, etc...

Hi r900,
How is that barend mirror working out?
I have no mirror of any kind and those types looks good and dont protrude/interfere.
Do you see much of anything?

Mirror
The mirror is sold by aspirevelotech.com. I have had one for a year of so, it works great. I have had two fusions in my neck, and have a limited range of motion. These mirrors work great, and are a lot better looking than most. I have no relationship with the seller, just a satisfied customer. They cost about $23

The bag is a Cannondale, but an older US made version. I found it on ebay, here is another pic:
Nice red bags in the stores are hard to find, I looked on ebay for about 4 - 6 weeks on and off before I found the Cannondale bag.
The GPS is a Garmin Edge, and it comes with a simple little mount that attaches with zip ties.

I never cared for Cannondales until I saw yours. That is a really nice bike. I wonder if that puts you in contention for an OCP membership. Good luck
