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

Exactly. I loves me some duct tape, but this is just wrong. They make shims for exactly this sort of thing.

From a classified. It was sold as used but it doesn't have a single scratch on it. It would be a perfect upgrade to the Elite post I have

The stem and saddle are just placeholders right now.

3t pro stem (for the whiteness, though I'm stealing the bolts from my 3t team stem, so same as 3t team. Ti bolts are the only difference), 3t rotundo bars. Black fizik tape. Toupe saddle.
Otherwise, all SRAM Force but with Sram Red shifters. The black/white Force will look sweet. Not getting it for the colors, but that doesn't hurt.

I got the cages off of eBay... I think they're made by some OEM company in Taiwan.
