Just this
which is nothing to write home about but staves off the impulse to buy a whole bike.

I also carried a Camelback on my back for longer rides and filled the bladder with ice then put chilled water in.

Nope, just standard.. No 58s available anywhere. It seems that the tubes pulled are just getting off the shelf as the first step of the build.. It was like $450 more for custom paint and they wanted another 8 weeks for a one off, didn't want to wait.

If you can get over on how they look like it's heaven-sent. I was even suggested for some customs but I use their regular Wide width and it's excellent.

I'm using a Bontager model that works well for me too and I like the way they look.

I'd give it a shot. A lot of people look for stiff shoes - well, it doesn't get anymore stiff than these. I wear the Vaypor Premiums and the material is super stiff. I could probably murder someone with these shoes.
and surprisingly they "disappear" during rides. They're lightweight and the stack height is super low.

Popped a spoke on my commute to work so had to take it to the LBS on campus to get it replaced. In the process, got told my chain was fried and had to replace that too. So:
1 spoke
1 chain
1 labor
Rough start to the week.

Those jeans are too long for you, and how did you get those shoes on your feet with those long, nasty toenails?

Found a toupe in the "awesome saddle deals" bin at the LBS for 20 bucks!! Been looking to finally upgrade anyways. Nearly half the weight of my old one, tho now I really really hate how my saddle bag looks, time to find a new system i suppose.
