Sick looking BMC. /\ /\ /\
Just made a 2100 payment on my soulcraft. Should arrive in November. It will inspire to continue training my butt off during winter, that's for sure. I'm really just talking about it because I cant wait to show you all

Some killer bikes in this thread. Here is my little entry level Giant Defy. It begs for new wheels for now but I'm a broke sumbich.
A few days ago, before I changed the bag and flipped the stem.

Its just the way the photo looks. The cables are from the top of the shifters. The wheels are super fast on the flats, but are not good with a cross wind of more than 12 mph. Also they are not meant as climbing wheels. But if you want to experience a fast set of wheels with the conditions right, you will be blown away as I am every time I pass other riders on the road. These wheels were used by Armstrong in a tour de France and we all know what the outcome of that was. The Hed H3 wheels are one of the fastest wheels out there and I like the rush you get from the speed of of going down a mountain at 55 mph+.
They are not my everyday wheels, I will be purchasing the Hed Ardennes C2 wheels as they are super light, very strong, fast, and great for hill climbing.

To analogbomb,
I was considering a TCR but one I saw the FP3, the giant looked like a bmx. I have to admit, its a nice looking bike but not even close to th simiarly priced Pinarello FP3.
Oh well, we all make mistakes......

AFAIK, Hudz doesn't do Sram. I got the Sram Pit Stop stuff with the bar tape. The tape is so-so (gets dirty, but it comes clean with a magic eraser). The hoods are the exact same thing as the black ones, just white with a little more texture to them. A little bit better grippiness.
I'd sell you mine...
