MY SEARCH IS OVER!!! Not only is it bling-olicious, but its Pose Factor is off the charts.

Granted, it doesn't go very fast. In fact, it doesn't really go anywhere at all... but I can get very aero on it - and still hold onto my beverage. Eat your heart out, Dan.

It's the wheels, huh? Just imagine it with Zipps... it will go great with the frame. Trust me.
Does it come in Carbon?

How do those full discs handle in the wind?
FYI, your race number is on the wrong side.

Are those wheels 700s?
Where is the Assos kit? Ditto on the Slipstream kit.

And on each side of the park bench you can plainly see your new aero wheels!

Yea, Sheldon. It's the newest thing. Carbon, boron and wood. Laterally stiff, vertically compliant, yet biodegradable.
How do those full discs handle in the wind?
They were great! I think, if I put on the gas, I could have caught and dropped that 3-year-old with the jelly-splattered jumper. The wheels are that good.

They take the win photos from the front, d00d.
Are those wheels 700s?
Yes. They just look small because I'm retaining water.
Where is the Assos kit? Ditto on the Slipstream kit.
Thanks! I like the SS kit, it's quite comfortable, even though it has a men's chamois. Makes me feel fast. My Assos stuff is mainly for cold weather -- it was much too nice today for fleece!

It's all about power transfer, Steve.

And fit.
I love the mono-shock design, should be very comfortable for the long rides. I see you have a spare set of wheels in the background, nice.

Power transfer and fit.
Most important on those long long rides.

I too have recently gotten a new bike, though its got a motor in it. I know I haven't been on too many group rides lately but its only because I'm enjoying the new bike more, even though it really makes my nuts hurt.
Joy, I think you and I should ride together one of these days. Just you and me hun. :love:

That means I have to ride in the sun. :eek:

He rides in the aforementioned sun.

It got to a point where I didn't ride my bike in the whole month of December. It was getting too dark too early and I didn't care to buy a $150+ bike light to get a workout during the weekdays (I'm not a morning person). So in order to save money I did the smart thing and got into running, spending $200+ on shoes, shorts, etc.. :(
I do miss riding with the group. I've been riding more often again and will probably make it out on the next GMR ride. I hope to see you guys there!

I think that's the only way we'll be able to take a picture of Nacy, without him hiding from the camera ... :p
