Throw the stick!!!!
Yes they are, great wheels. I just received another set from him a week or so ago, haven't had a chance to try them out yet though.

Looks very good LC. I agree with the others on the bartape however. Besides you have a black saddle, and you ride a lot. You should just put black bartape on it.

South, Central Pa rider
I’ve been riding this Fuji all-aluminum this season (began last season with a broken leg) and am happier with it than I expected. I had been riding Giant Kronos steel for the past four years & assumed I would be bothered with the stiffer aluminum frame – like I would feel the road chatter & bumps. However the difference, at least for me really isn’t that significant. I actually think this bike stays on the road better when I stand and climb – like my pedal strokes are more efficient now than with the steel bike.
Anyway…

Mix of Dura-Ace 7800 & Ultegra 6600 parts (7800 crank, derailleurs, chain & brakes; 6600 shifters, pedals & wheels)
With the Sigma cyclo-computer, pedals & bottle cages; the bike weighs 17.65 lbs.
*In a same purchase, I bought the frame & fork used – which is an inch and a half too short for me. I tried to ride with the stem flipped & didn’t ride well. So expect a future post with a new fork...

I just picked this one up. Also, I'm old and have a bad back so y'all can save the "flip it" comments.

Nice bike ! What model is it ?
I'm currently looking at a Specialized bike too but I'm undecided maybe the '11 Secteur Compt Compact in Charcoal/Black
What's that "flip it" thing you guys are making fun off

Here's what I've been riding. Yes I know the bar tape looks funky. 55cm LiteSpeed with full 10speed Campagnolo Veloce group. Had this bike re-painted and put on new decals. It's my bike and I like it.

I remember when that multicoloured bartape was the latest and greatest! Nice bike, nice parts too!

Although I have already posted, I am posting again. Yesterday I got my first ever aftermarket wheels, Mavic Ksyrium Elites, and it is like having a completely new bike. I cannot believe the difference.

Hey guys this is my first time posting. Just got into Cycling a couple of weeks ago on a whim. I've been riding as much as I can in my free time. I'm have done about 250km so far. Steadily increasing my distance and pace.
Here is my first (and modest) road bike: 2011 Giant TCR 1
