"The 33"-Road Bike Racing - the Race sub fourm: holiday wish list

In true Pcad fashion whats on the must have bling-tacular wish list for you. Why in this forum? Because I could care less about mtn bike shoes on the road, cool new mirrors, or getting a first set of clipless. Bring on the bike porn.

My list is short and the only way I'm getting it is if I buy it myself
1. Rugamer Zen custom frame

2. Shimano 220 heat molded shoes, I like cause there white http://fairwheelbikes.com/forum/images/smiles/Smiley_toppie.gif nice.

my wish list is pretty basic. I just want a new frame and fork. If someone told me i could pick any frame I wanted I dont know what I would say so I think I will just wish for a nice servicable aluminum race frame like a caad 9 or something. Its too hard for me to pick out a dream bike right now.

i would love to have a pair of lightweights.

some team kits

srm

rollers

Boras
SRM
Pinarello Prince/Parlee/595/Super Six

Higher power/weight ratio.

yeah but I cant figure out what store to pick that up at, besides amgens gift shop

another healthy, crash free, season.

pinarello paris carbon

Better knees, more sleep, and a truing stand.

Used 32h 2007 PT Pro, preferably unbuilt.

Dude, move to Austin. It's amazing how much better my knees are doing here. I went back to Denver for a visit, and they were hurting bad before I got out of the airport.

healthy, crash free, season.

that's #1 on my list.

2 - computrainer to alleviate offseason indoor training boredom

20.0+, 9.0+, 6+, 5.5+, 5.0+.

And some Reynolds DVs. Or custom built F20s.

Sadly, the last two in the first row seem easier to obtain than anything else. And that won't be fun.

Time for a thread hijack!!!


I have the big brother of those Shimmano shoes and have a complaint. The heel protector on the bottom is nothing more than a glued on slab of rubber that will come off regardless of how careful you are. Half of my team has that shoe and all are having the issue.

Other than that the shoe is great

Power meter!

I'm dieting and hitting the gym.

I just got one of those for FREE last weekend. I was complaining about my crappy mag trainer to the team coach and he goes "stop by my place and pick up a computrainer." I was shocked but needless to say, ecstatic. I love this club/team!

+1. I really like these bars, but I think I'll try to find the SLKs.

The Most Blingtaculest

- Focused and copious training time I can cash in so I can hang with a certain marked man on the flats by May 20, 2008 (a monstrous but not impossible 30-40 watt increase in FTP)

- More rain (more Tabata on the trainer)

10% gain to FTP!



another healthy, crash free, season.

+1

Another, better racing season next year. And to finally finish my Plasma....

Same thing I asked Santa for last year: more watts. Sadly I buy everything else I want.

And the understatement of the year award goes to.......


FTP and wattage improvement are earned not wished for, be materialistic guys:D

Fuji SL1, full Campy Record carbon, Ritchey carbon WCS, and 2 sets of wheels (training/racing).

I should have it by Christmas!!!

Also I want a full Suntour Superbe Pro group for my '86 Gazelle Champion Mondial restoration, but I guess that's for the C&V forum holiday wish list....

A new sweater so I can keep on riding. Exciting, I know.

Alright if I have to pick a material item then it would be

Realistically it will be a 24 hole powertap SL laced to a Niobium 30mm deep rim for a rear race wheel.

Lemond Zurich
Powertap

1.) PowerTap
2.) The Ksyrium ES's that I just ordered!
3.) Some winter clothes
4.) A new team or a better team
5.) A new bike

6.) The 404's that I want, but don't have $700 laying around for.

Well, I am flying to Barcelona on December 21st. Maybe I can put in a call to Dr. Fuentes.






Naww, I think I'll just do it the legit way and stick with the gym and diet.

Fuji SL1, full Campy Record carbon, Ritchey carbon WCS, and 2 sets of wheels (training/racing).

Nice Christmas list. I'm currently debating a second Fuji SL1 to use as a training bike. I'm torn between that and a computrainer. :o

My wish list? Does it count if I'm buying them as gifts for myself?

Is this a wish list or a reality list?

Wish:
Specialized Transition
Zipp 808 front for TT bike
Easton Attack TT bars
404's for the Orca
World peace

Reality:
Saving up money for races fees and to pay for equipment I break next season.
Brake pads

and gas to get to some of these Tim Tyler races in BFE. :(

:)

Yes it does since I just ordered my wish list. :D

money for race fees, cables, bar tape, chains, tires, lube.... (after paying off credit card bills... because i bought a powertap and some sweet Easton Tempest II carbon tubulars i just picked up for a "bargain" price)


Oh, and an SRM for the race machine.
Assos clothing sweetness would be nice too.

*sigh*....

Santa is deliver my '08 P2C on Tuesday in the form of the UPS man. Then the LBS is deliver the 2nd present in the form of an '08 Specialized Epic sometime in the next month.

eBay is going to love me -- I get to go nuts selling old stuff.

Maybe a new water bottle :o.

Wishes:

1) Some dumbass to let me sneak off the front of the home town Cat2/3 race next year, with 2 to go. Then, another group of morons to let me block while my friend goes off the front for his first win as a 1 in the Pro/1/2 race 15 minutes later.
2) 340w, 62kg.
3) I don't really need any material goods, but a set of deep dish race wheels wouldn't be met with scorn, either. My trusty Ksyrium Elite front and PT/OP rear are good enough, really.

wheels and parts for a fixie, rollers or trainer, jerseys and shorts, power meter or hrm, and a license.

I want my crashing bout to be over.
I want my CAAD9 to only be cosmetically damaged so I can ride it for the next few years instead of having to buy a new frame which is not a smart financial step for me.
I want some winter clothes so I can go out and ride in temperatures lower than I currently do (26*F).
I want the dedication to be able to get up early in the morning to go ride outside in the cold, or hit the trainer for 1-3 hours.
I want the drive to work harder than ever before at a sport and learn to push through the pain to make training gains.
To be able to keep up with my friend who's fast as heck, even though he's going to be training in france while he studies abroad.

I have all the shwag I need. I just want some cold weather gear to keep me going. That and the means to channel my will to get better.

That is all.

Nice Christmas list. I'm currently debating a second Fuji SL1 to use as a training bike. I'm torn between that and a computrainer. :o

Okay, decided I'm ordering my Christmas present(s) tomorrow. I still haven't decided if I am going with another SL1, a computrainer, or both. :o

That's a great looking frame and although I know it shouldn't really matter, I do have to ask:

"Anchor" as a name for a racing frame?

Me -- I'll be happy if I don't pack on extra holiday pounds and Mother Nature gives us an early Spring.

I want my Fuji SL-1 by Christmas.
