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

Neither. The hoods should be replaced with soft carbon hoods, saving some weight.

Really though, I'd think that his hoods have micro injectors so he can have an IV of his dope of choice continually running throughout each stage.

And I say he needs black and yellow bar tape to match his yellow hoods.

Go for the whole Killer Bee's look.

I really couldn't care less. If Lance dropped dead of a heart attack tomorrow, the silence would be golden (after all the memorial threads, anyway).

Note these apparently according to Hudz website still have not been released. I've had mine for over 6 months, and they've been installed almost 3 months. This is a prototype:

That's... actually kind of hot. I don't know if I'd use 'em, especially considering that I don't wear see-through panties.

I wasn't talking about the hudz.

But regarding those hudz, what's the difference between the original and softgrip?

SoftGrip is new, they took the suggestions of their customers and improved the feel. I think they lost a bunch of sales to Far & Near. I switched from Hudz to F&N but Fairwheel is sending me a pair of the new SoftGrip to test out.

Carbon fiber bottle cages and reflectors, get rid of those reflectors. Trim those zipties on the stem holding down the computer mount. What is that roundish thing on the front of the handlebars? Another reflector? A mirror?

Don't mean to critique, just helping you out.

I've stripped them all except the wheels. I'm pretty lax like that. I wonder if I can get reflective spokes. I could then blind my competition hmmm.
