And Lowcel, yours are quite spiffy in a saddle-shoes, 20's-gangster kind of way, but they're not categorically clownshoes...

Throw the stick!!!!
I wanted solid white but they were a two month wait. I actually like them though, they are very easy to keep clean.

New old saddle. Before you ask how it compares to a Brooks, I haven't ridden it yet. The vintage bike it's going on is still being built.

While on mile 80 of a solo century two weekends ago, I was riding into a headwind and decided to rest my forearms on my top tube and noticed I was easily able to sustain 25mph into the headwind. I'd remembered seeing Rasmussen doing that while working for Denis Menchov back in '06 and since I was riding in a relatively safe place to try it...
Mayhaps with these little suckers, I might be able to finish my five-hour centuries in 4:30 instead...

just picked this up yesterday. Took it out for a 20 miler during a break in the storm we're in. Loved it!

I just picked up the 105 double crankset, 105 FD, Selle Italia XO saddle, a couple Camelback podium chill bottles, and a white Lezyne under seat bag. Here are the latest pics of the build. I finally got a chance to ride it a little today. I love it so far. I could use a zero setback seatpost though.
I know I keep posting pictures of this, but I can't help it. My name's Jason, and I'm a post-aholic.
