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

My CAAD9 with Campy Corus. Very soon I plan on finally swapping out the cockpit for Zipp SC and ditching that silly carbon wrapped C2 post.

Hello,





Been racing on both this year. Both need a little work.

That S-Works Shiv is so beautiful! The Tri-spoke looks great. What work do you plan on doing to it? Look Aero Blades are very cool.

Thanks! Need to raise the saddle a couple of millimeters and lower the extensions about a centimeter but not until I figure out how to raise the elbow pads relative to the extensions.

Thanks, but both bikes have been there.

The Campy press-fit cups don't press-fit very well. Going to a Hollowgram crank with SRM. Going to try the world of training and racing with power.
