x600-series was the last side exit. x700 was the first under-bar tape. My ol' Jamis came with 5600 but I replaced the levers with 5700 when they came out. The 5700 didn't shift as quickly/lightly as the 5600, but it was prettier.

Seems like a lot of really old necro threads recently.

I don’t get it. I imagine it’s too complicated to set, but really a thread more than a year old should only be bumpable by the OP (and possibly anyone who previously posted in it).

Do cyclist use ultegra and dura ace over 105 strictly to save weight, or are there other reasons? Reliability, smoothness etc?

Spent all day doing last minute stuff and organizing provisions. Finally got to the boat at 1730 and realized I’d left the full propane tank at home. Ran to the hardware store and decided to splurge on an aluminum tank because the steel ones rust out in the marine environment and the Al one was gloriously light. Got to the boat and the tank was 1 cm too wode for the opening of the propane locker, so I had to do some meatball fiberglass surgery. It’s not visible, but will have to be made pretty later.
Leisurely start after getting ice and pumping out the poo tank in the morning.

Used to live there, it’s a descent city. I am currently based there, so I am in Charlotte almost as much as I am at home. If you have any questions about it hit me up.

That’s a lot of work.

I blame the relatively new "related threads" (or whatever) that's at the bottom of threads on the desktop site. Whatever's trawlin' for threads for that dredges up some doozies.

So when we closed on the house, we had to a pretty huge list for lowe’s once we started moving in. One of the items was a lawn mower. I had picked the craftsman 163 cc push/ self propelled lawn mower, it was 300 bucks. The day we made the purchase, they were out of stock of all lawn mowers, but we paid for it anyway and we were told we would have it on the 11th. Yesterday came and went and, and we never heard from Lowe’s. Stopped by this morning, and basically couldn’t tell us when they would be available. I offered to drive has far as Richmond, and Chesapeake, but not one store had any craftsman mower in stock. I then asked why were promised to have on the 11th if they didn’t know when one would be coming in. Long story short, mine was sold, after we already paid for it. I now have a honda 203 cc self propelled Bad ass lawn mower . ![happy b-day](images/smilies/bday.gif)
On the slowest setting it still almost pulls me over. Thing is a rocket ship.

AG outright refuses to ride lower than Ultegra, because the shop she bought her first bike from badmouthed it. I'm fine with 105, though I wish it had Di2, and depending what the new DA is might push me to get the new hotness (freehub, speeds, etc). Or I might just go Campy. At least I have a while to think.

Barbecue is one of the best possible uses of the part that isn't bacon or footballs.
