*** experiencing wheel envy ***


drool.

How do you like those LEWs, Mr. Conrad?
How much did they run you?


And what's with the seat angle?

And what's with the seat angle?

They were somewhere in the 2400 range, I'm not sure anymore, I'd have to look it up.

the seat really isn't tilted up that much, it's only slightly (from getting knocked into that position and I've been too lazy to correct it), but the angle of the picture and the width of the lens distorts it, as well as the fact that I can't take a level picture. :o

subtract the seat bag and these clincher zipps with the powertap and add tubular zipps:

I'll take the clincher zips with the pt. :D

Wow! Are these road race or crit bikes?

I use the same bike for road races and crits. Although I'm building a new race bike and I'll probably still use this for crits. Subtract seat bag and bottle of champagne.

Here's my Felt FC. On race day it will have either Reynolds DV46Ts or Zipp 303 clinchers, depending on how lazy I am about switching pads. Crappy photo...

I'm going to be the dissenting opinion and say that I don't like the look of the Bianchi. I think I could live with everything except the curve on the downtube.

"Mmmmmmmmmmm, Caahhmpy"

Still working on a new set of wheels for my wagon:

Thanks MB. However, most people use the 'a' word when describing my attention to detail. ;)

umd, I'll say that the aero qualities of the frame are not obvious to me (someone who works in aerospace), but I personally like the aesthetic of the frame -- Italian style works for some but not for others. :)

Well pv, my relationship and lust for Serottas goes way back (late 1970s) and since 1995 I only put Campagnolo on my bikes. :)

Wow very nice bikes. :eek:

Slightly better pic with race wheels, just another excuse to show it off.

Someday I have to get a real job.

Hawt - I have ES's too, but I leave the deep ones on most of the time as they look mo-bad-ass.

Thanks, you're Caad 9 is quite a looker too. Personally, I'm not big C'dale fan, but your bike looks soooo clean, and all business. I thought those were Flashpoints, until you mentioned Carbones, even better.

Being mistaken for Flashpoints is troubling... :cry:

I actually bought some white Carbone decals on ebay - the large “Cosmic” ones like many years ago, but they looked too in your face, so I kept the stealth look.

Those Reynolds would go nicely on my bike too. :D

Wow, you guys have some nice bikes. All I have is this nostalgic (but functional) rig.

What hubs are they laced to? I think I asked this before but I can't remember.

American Classic Micro 58 in the front and an RD 205 in the back. Total weight of wheels without tires: 1030 grams I think...

Wow. All around, wow.

I'm thinking about getting some Edge 68 mms laced to H2s or DT 240s.
