Got my beater bike finished up today. A 2013 Felt F1, Sram red shifters, red rear der and crank, force front der. Williams saddle, seat post/bars/stem. Sram branded breaks. Easton EA90SLX wheels (had the wheels for a few years now).
Bike weight with pedals, bottle cages, Garmin sensor and mount (as pictured) 14 lbs 10 oz. This is a crash replacement for my 2011 F3 which I found a crack in. Felt refused to warranty it even though I had never crashed it (said it was a compression crack....whatever). Now I can put the Colnago M10 up for special occasions
.
Only ridden it 7 miles so far but its geometry is pretty much exactly the same as my 2011 F3, but it's lighter and should be more ridged. I loved the F3 and could ride it 15 hours straight with no issues.

Yeah, I was kind of joking but since I had planned on making the F3 my everyday bike when I bought my Colnago, but now that its been replaced by the F1 I have to pick one to be an everyday bike and it's going to be the F1 since the Colnago is just to pretty to put 10k+ miles on a year. I'll save the Colnago for a "bling" bike when the occasion presents itself :-)
Oh, did I mention how awesome my wife is....I think she's scared "fat me" will return, so she keeps me supplied in nice rides to keep me interested.

Building up as a birthday present for my gf.
One of these for my beater bike. I don't like how it fit with my Vuka Sprints on my main bike. It wasn't centered, and I am a bit ocd.

I was wondering if anyone knows about something like a locking topcap? Or something that will negate someone trying to take my stem and bars and fork so easily. Thanks.

One of these if I can convince the boss of how essential it is to my survival.

Picked up a trainer and brought my baby indoors...could not take the treadmill (no love for running and hard on my knees); loving it so far! I got a nice Cyber Monday Deal from Performance....trainer with mat/front tire elevation for under $150 shipped.

Got these one the way.
And some Cannondale skewers to use until I find a great deal on some Shimano Dura Ace or Ultegra, etc.
Hoping these tires work as good as some older Michelin tires I had for puncture resistance. I hate flats.
Cheers

Picked up a practially new Tiagra 12-30 cassette to replace my current Ultegra 11-28. Hopefully give me a little more gear for some of the tougher climbs out here. Will install it when I get my new KMC chain this week.

Assos winter bib knicks (3/4 length).
They'd better be warm for the price of them...

I started a $10/month sub to TrainerRoad. So far it's MUCH better than a trainer with nothing but a tv or a video.

The person who sold it to me bought it to test on his bikes with similar set up. It fit his bikes so he picked up a couple Ultegra 12-30 and is running them on his bikes now with similar set up as mine.
I also did alot of reading and read many were successful. I'm currently running 50/34 compact and 11/28 rear.
