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

Its an old Lizard Skins from my mountain bike, it's okay but the stitching is starting come undone around the velcro. I want to replace it but I'm still looking for something that's as durable and well made.

Look for the tube mounts on the left side. At 23 grams each, not too shabby...

Pearl iZumi Enduro II shoes NEW in box at Performance bike tent sale. $10.00!
This may be a GA only sale. Had great prices on some discontinued bibs but none in my size.

May go back and buy the Shimano Road shoes tomorrow (same price) so I can put these Look peddles I took off a flip on my R300.

So what did you buy bigbadwulf, the bike? If so, great purchase. Still love my allez, though it is now a backup bike, it is still a fantastic all round bike. Ride the hell out of that think and enjoy!

@Snapperhead - which Sugoi bib shorts are those? I love my RS, and I am curious whether this is a new RS or a different model altogether.

I really need to stay out of my LBS's. I came across this 2005 Raleigh Prestige frame and had to have it.

What can I say.. I'm a Raleigh guy..
