New wheels for 2013:

Crash716

Great…aero wheels so my own teammate is even faster than me! Looks good…we need to ride together soon!

But…i do have the aero bike so we all know that's worth at least 50w at top end

Cobbled together... Rival group. 16lb 2oz with no weight weenie parts. Mismatching race wheels, etc. Great bike, very comfortable and handles well.

I have heard nothing but great things about bh frames! How are you liking it, stiffness etc. ? Great looking race machine!

Plus the BH hovers over hot tubs... It's clearly not just any bike.

agoodale

Nearly everyone on our team rides them and I have yet to hear a real complaint. They are stiff & responsive yet compliant enough that a 5 hour ride isn't a pain.

Unobtanium inserts in the bottom bracket & hubs. It's the next big thing.

Can't wait to put this batboy through its paces

Woah.

Is that the Rooster of Wallonia on the seat tube?

3kmi

Gaulzetti may translate to little rooster (builder's last name)

echappist

gotcha. Should be easy to spot you when Collegiate racing starts.

The Gaulzetti is the holy grail of aluminum crit frames. It makes a CAAD 10 look like a Huffy. The Cannondale SRM is a nice touch, as is the matching saddle.

Cleave

Hi, midweek race and training rig after a major (5 year) overhaul:

echappist

that's a classy set up, not the least of which because of the classic-bend handlebar

Cleave is a classy classic guy! With the absolute maximum of respect.

Two of my favorite bikes on the forum.

Cleave

All, thanks for the kind words.

echappist, I tried "anatomic" bars for a few years and never could set them up to be comfortable and practical -- brake reach -- and I have big hands. I guess I'm not anatomically correct. So far I like these Deda bars better than the TTT bars that they replaced. Mostly because of the dual cable routing grooves.

3kmi

Killer bike cleave. I'm with you on classic bend bars, the shape is just right and they look oh so sweet.

dang. tape?

Harun

looks like fizik glossy

Cleave

Yes, it's fi’zi:k Microtex Red Glossy. I've been using this tape for several years. Initially thought it might be slippery but found that it grips just fine.

Sorry for the bad picture, this was the first day I got my bike back in 2011 and only realized I took it the wrong way when someone pointed it out to me on BF later that week.. I havn't updated it yet but will do so on a nice sunny day this year. Nothing has changed since though except for my seat, and a flipped stem, both for comfort purposes. Plus the newb plastic disc on the rear wheel and cyclocomputer are both gone now, so nothing too special

dont worry i plan to race at least the first ten races with my frame pump on the bike I've gotten to the point where being a fred is easier than buying co2s out the ass.

waterrockets 

I've taken a lot of beatings around here for racing with a frame pump...

jsutkeepspining

i got made fun of the other day for riding with one. I just said the day before i went though two co2's, i had no interest in buying another set.
