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

If you were referring to me , I ordered them from Bike Tires Direct. They only had the black l/anthracite but I am good with that.

Decided to finally buy one of these Gabba 2 jerseys in yellow. I have been looking at this for a long time. Also picked up some velox to redo two wheel sets

eventually pulled the trigger and got a pair of Sunglasses

Serengeti Drivers (rimless):




I have a pair of Serengeti Drivers that I use in my car (have had them over 20 years), and they are amazing.... only problem is that they have rims, and when I ride my bike, The top of the rims are visible as my head is bent down. These should be superb (these were a very good price aswell)

I finally broke down and ordered a set of narrow Sidi shoes to fit my cross-country ski-shaped size 48's.

what shoes do you use now, and are they close to a good fit.

Sidi 45s are too wide for me, but I've never had the chance to try on a narrow version.

I wear a Specialized Sport Road shoe right now. I tried on last year's model Specialized Expert shoe and the toe box was too wide. I've tried on the Sidi Genius shoes before, and they were slightly wide. So I took a shot - ordered from a place that accepts returns. They say it will be two weeks before they ship - we'll see what happens.

keep us posted.

Sidi genius was just a bit too wide for me, but better than most. I use PI PRO Leader shoes now, but they are getting old(60k miles), and their replacement is too wide.

Truly narrow shoes are hard to find, and nearly impossible to try on before buying.

Ordered new custom wheels from PSIMet.com last week. Can't wait to get them and go for a ride.

Just ordered it today (size 61), should have it Thursday or Friday. Got some Deore pedals (I prefer mountain pedals) for it, and some profile design aero bars.

I finally broke down after over 10 years of never needing the stuff. This year, the only way I can get in some decent hours on the legs is on the trainer... so a lot more sweat, a lot more chafing, and more saddle sores in the past 6 months than I've had in the past 11 years (up to 4, when it was zero before).



I also rounded out my team kit with some more gloves and socks.

Cannondale SuperX Rival CX1.. can't wait for a rainy day to ride it.

Plans are to swap out the 35mm knobby tires for 32mm street tubeless tires.

ebay: 3611720047069. Free shipping, but caution, it's the 20nm cleat tension. I've ridden it, and it's largely a non-issue for me, but you can pick up 12 or 16 nm carbon blades separately.
