Ridley: Part 1

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Thanks... I got the DEDA's when I noticed a small crack in the clearcoat of my ITM 101 bars... freaked me out. The Deda are only a few more grams, stiff, safe, and look GREAT!

I'm sure you're right... however cables will have to wait until monday... I'm fresh out. Need bar tape too... but the rest.... stay tuned! I'm sure my Seminoles will make quick work of Chatanooga today... so I'm sure I'll be in the workshop with a sixpack by 5pm.
