Matte black Miracle Trade MC053, carbon Miracle Trade stem and bars, Ultegra everything else. GP4000S tires. A veritable feast of Chinese carbon. At least I can say I'll rarely see another one:


Ignore the steerer, I'm still working on the position and I'll recut when done.

Cutest bike pic ever. You're a lucky man!

Very nice. I like the blue racing stripes on the bike. But dude, ditch the 80's pump and get a frame pump. The blue model would look great!

Thanks. What can I say, I'm a slow starter. Stuff happened I guess, like riding?

I was just busting your chops. Must have been lurking and absorbing information in the meantime huh? I'm actually surprised the BF didn't prune your account from inactivity. Though, I am assuming you log n every now and then. You just don't post. Nice ride you got there.

Less posting, more riding. This guy.

Out for a ride yesterday, 2/20/12, breaking in my new hoops.

How to you like those c24's? Shimano doesn't make the lightest wheels, but they are always awfully nice and well built. they are the Clincher/Tubeless options correct?

Edit: Hate how long Fedex takes to update their status. I got a shipping number midday yesterday that doesn't even have a status update. Which mean it may not have even been picked up yet!

I've got about 100 miles on the C24's so far. They are great wheels. They are a vast improvement over the DT Swiss Tricons I was running previously. The C24's are stiff and transfer power really well but no so stiff where I'm getting beat up out on the road. I opted to stick with the non-tubeless option. They are slightly lighter in weight because of that. I have yet try tubeless and if I really feel the need I can run my DT's again as they are tubeless compatible.

Fedex is the pits. From Depot hours that aren't accurate on their website, to slow updates. I recently saw my shipment sitting in Utah somewhere for 4 days; 3 days later it was at my door.

Awesome bike...and wheels. I hope Cervelo never stops making the R3. I want to get one someday.

X-LinkedRider

took a total of about 30 hours from creating the shipping request/label to arriving at the first Fedex facility for check in. When UPS delivers, I can check the site about 10 minutes after they drop off the package. (it will even tell me WHERE they left it) Doesn't FedEx understand this concept, they we are all consuming addicts and checking on our 'drug' of choice is of the ut most importance to us. Lol. At least PS has it right. In the mail (USPS) it just shows up. sometimes next day, sometimes 4 days later. w/e. At least they don't fake out some "Tracking" that only updates after you already have the stuff in hand. I digress as the contents inside the package is enough to be happy about!

Thanks. It's been a great machine so far.

Here's a before of mine stock and then an after with a new set of hoops & some cosmetic enhancements:

I'm really glad you put away that extension cord...

like the wheels, but I think the white hoods are a bit outta place. However, kudos on trying to throw in some white accents on the bike

Waxbytes

White bartape would tie it all together.

antmeeks

You have no idea how long I deliberated over white bartape w/ black hoods... Ultimately I based my decision on the fact that if I went that route, I'd have to buy a white saddle...

Plus, white hoods are exponentially easier to clean than white bartape...

adriano 

depends on the tape and the hoods.

brandenjs

Lizard Skins or Fizik usually cleans up pretty well.

X-LinkedRider

I find the opposite true. Hoods almost never come fully clean. tape is so easy and cheap to replace.

finally able to go on a ride...
