Hmm, there's a lot of you guys, but I think I may recognize you. Where you the one that rolled the tire in the last corner of the Barry Wolfe crit?

Nice photography zackhughes.
MuddyMo - nice tarmac! Looks much nicer than the current paint scheme they have for the Tarmac Pro, which looks like naked carbon.

After almost a year on here I figured I'd chime in finally.
Been riding an 83 Schwinn Peloton for the past couple of years and am replacing it with a new 09 CAAD 9 6.

Thanks a lot man! My other bikes are hating it right now.
R700 is pretty good, pretty hefty though. I wish they would finally release a Dura Ace compact, or maybe a DA cross version

EDIT: I am aware of the new DA 7950 crankset that came out recently. I guess I meant 'why did they never make a 7800 compact
w/ a 110BCD?' It seems like the demand was there. I have yet to try any of the 7900 stuff out, don't really see a reason to. From everything I've heard, it takes a step back from 7800 in most respects (compact cranke excepted, of course)

Compared to my FSA Omega, the r700 is a lightweight haha. Plus they are heavily discounted at Jenson right now.

That is incredibly hot. I am envious. I rarely care for tires which are anything but black. Huge exception here.
