Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

- Tune Mag180 Campagnolo freehub body conversion kit from starbike.com for the Enve 65s on the Noah. Just like my other set of Enve 65s/DT Swiss 240s on the Merak, the rear freehub is a simple DIY conversion.

I have the wired version of that same computer and I love it, but their customer service sucks! I had a problem with getting the sensor on a rear mount relay on the stay to get close enough to the magnet on the spoke to get a reading, I sent 4 or 5 e-mail and no one ever bothered to e-mail me back about a fix, so I had to jerry rig it to make it work, but it would have been nice if they had responded. Cateye has fantastic customer service but I had so many problems with their wireless units I gave up on wireless and Cateye.

The current and 2nd set of 65s were too good of a deal to pass up. A friend of mine bought them last summer after my recommendation and sparingly used it, mostly on weekend rides with our group and two charity events in LI. He jumped on the Zipp FC-clincher bandwagon this spring and I bought the 65s for $800.

Tubulars. I couldn't believe how easy it was to go from Shim/Sram=Campy freehub on the DT 240 rear hub. I cleaned out the old grease, used Mobil-1 synthetic grease and the rear hub is so much quieter now.

Score - A take off Dura-Ace FC-7800 53/39T crank. Looks brand new and got it for under $200. Heck when I saw the ad I figured even if it did show wear even the cost of a new chain ring would make it a good buy.

Easton EC90SL rims with Conti GP4000 tires and a Ultegra 11-28 cassette.





Noticeable difference after a 45 mile break in ride.

Sweet, I picked up a tubular set of those about a week ago. Still waiting to get my spare ready so I haven't tried them yet but I can't wait. They look great and I'm sure they ride really nice.

I wish the graphics were so "loud", i'd rather there be only 3 or 2 logos or at least ghost logos. And they are painted on and not decals that can be removed.

The tubulars are a few hundred grams lighter, so you'll be flying up the hills.

Picked up a pair of Oakley Split Jackets from Oakley Vault on sale, then followed up with a not much used set of Shimano Dura Ace WH-7850-C24-CL wheels for a decent price. Happy with both.

I ordered a 56cm FM098 frame from a group buy on Velobuild. I'm having it custom painted in a Gulf Oil racing car livery color scheme. Also ordered some 40cm carbon bars and a few odds and ends like an extra seatpost clamp, headset....
