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

Isn't it funny how if a thread either is posted by pcad or is about said pcad then it is deemed to received at least 5 solid pages of photos of pcad and generally large fish with lots o' teeth?

I must be one of those people because I don't even understand why you would bring this up and/or notice. What is wrong with black leather belts.

Buying a black leather belt isn't the issue. The fact that he was buying one at the Supermarket is what I am referring to.

"super" in this case carries with it the distinction of meaning "more than a grocery store."

Maybe it is regional, but Shoprite is a grocery store. They happened to have belts that week. LOL

are your valve stems different lengths? the rear is too long...not very aero.

BTW how long is the rear to be sticking that far out of a 404?

Too long. New shorter valve extenders on order.

Don't think this stuff escapes the Eagle Eye of Pcad.

Congratulations. I am bit surprised that is not a Cervelo. However it is a beautiful bike. The aluminum braking tracks on the Zipps and the natural aluminum frame color look spectacular.

I've had the TT bike for a couple of years. The Zipps do go with the frame.

Funny, I have over 40,000 miles on an Alien post without any issues.

Like so many things, I suppose one needs to know what one is doing.

Funny...an acquaintance of mine was messing around with fit on a tt bike, he's generally a top 10er in most races (really good athlete although he's only two years into bike racing). He spent three hours with a friend of mine with the bike on a fit computer, and we found 10% more wattage with fit adjustments.

Won his next race.

Imagine that.

Next?

Uh-huh. I had two of them. They sucked, hard. My LBS hated them. Cannondale stopped using them on new bicycles a couple of years ago because they had so many customer complaints. The absolute worst high-end bicycle component I've ever seen, and I've been doing this for 25+ years.

Third spec from the bottom. Hit the little "Spec" thingy...

BTW...this is the lightest and most expensive bike Cannondale makes. Twelve and a half pounds.

...and Elvis has left the building...

Think I'll go put another hundred miles on mine in a bit.

The fact that the sainted Mrs pcad allows bikes (and of course pcad himself) in her house, on her hardwood floors, is just more evidence of her sainthood.
