New cable set is done and I did it myself. Cleaned the chain, wheelset, and all other pieces of the group. It looks like new. I can't believe how she shined up. Putting the new cable set on went pretty well, but may need f and r derailleur adjustments. I will find out in the am when I take it out.
what kind of bar tape does everyone use?
whats a good way to remove reflective tape?
tires could use a replacement soon. There are Kevlar tires on there now. Any recs on tires and tubes?

I like Fizik microtex bar tape but you'll get a different answer from everyone.
Continental Grand Prix 4000 are a popular tire choice and reasonably priced but you'll get a lot of answers on that too

Droooling!!!! Everytime I see a Saeco, I want one...
I have 97 (Super Black with Teal Pearl) and 98 (Tropical Green) CAAD2 bikes, and 2006 (Fine Silver) CAAD8. The ride of the CAAD2s are a thrill, but both had RSX 3x7 on them, though the 98 has a 105 triple. My CAAD8 has a mix of SRAM (Red crankset, Force shifters, and Rival mechs), that is a real joy to ride. And all feel like rockets compared to my 86 KHS roadbike (updated to Shimano 105 5600)...
