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

C-Dale envy? hahahaa

What a small minded thing to do and it only impresses equally small minded people or it defrauds the truly ignorant.

Anybody that knows anything about a C-dale would spot that fraud from a mile. They also know C-Dals are equipped and priced about the same as any other good quality bike. That may change soon but still true.

I think I will go stick a Porsche Logo on a 74 Beetle because Dr. Porsche did designed it so its really a Porsche if I change the label and people will think more of me if I drive a Porsche.

Shimano M076 Mtb shoes and Speedplay Frog pedals. Shoes are so comfortable that I tend to wear them at work for the first 30 minutes after arriving. Once coworker really like my "new shoes" with those fancy silvery velcro straps!

Need to put these on the Giant TCX commuter because getting tired of duck walking around in road shoes when I run errands. Though, I'm using Eggbeater pedals right now that came with the bike. Like those SP X pedals that I have been using. Not sure about the Frogs yet.

More winter prep.


Looking into a Chris King BB pretty quick here. SRAM BB creaks after 300 miles and it's not a matter of torque.
