Crap
....so rowing is going well, and the off season has been treating me pretty well, but I still am not the least bit motivated to ride my bike next year.
Then I found this thing on eBay...
I still have very little (if any) motivation to race, but I can't wait to *ride* this thing.
I'm just hoping motivation to race (at least on the weekends I'm not doing Regattas) comes back now. I think I'll just stick to College races this Spring, but hey, it's something.
So...the real question here is..... I'm keeping the bike mostly as-is, but I'm going to put my bars, stem, and saddle on it. But..
What color bar tape, tires (on Black Ksyrium Elites, at least for training), cabling, and saddle does it get? I'm kinda thinking white tape, black tires w/ white stripes (Vittoria), white cables, a white saddle, and white cages.
Meh. I can't wait for this thing to get here! I am going to miss Mr. Felt, though...
