I upgraded my two road bikes over the winter and thought I'd show 'em off a little.
New front wheel built for the touring bike. Now I have a matching pair. Loaded touring and disc brakes were hard on the stock 32 spoke wheels so I have 36 spoke BLACK wheels now, both hand built at LBS:

And upgraded the road bike to Ultegra 10 speed, brifters, cassette, RD, and brakes are on the way. Old 105 was black, Ultegra is silver. Last year I added new wheels, Ultegra hubs and Open Pro rims, 32 spokes in front, 36 rear:

Now waiting for spring, got teased a little last week, but snow is falling again.
