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

Muffin: Garmins are a fantastic training tool. The data you can collect can be endlessly useful in the future as more data is gathered over time.

Just ordered 2013 Sram Red Compact Crankset (50/34) 172.5

And the Front Derailleur to go with it.


This will be an upgrade from the Sram Rival crank/fd that are on the bike currently. Will complete the Sram Red groupset purchase in pieces. These were the first 2 and in my eyes, the most important.

I hope you got it on sale or used. With the new 510, you should have found good deals on the 500.

It's silly but you're right. The 510 is an utter piece of ****.

You don't really ride it with the saddle like that do you?

Yeah, i really like my Force crank, I am interested to see how well the chain catcher + YAW works out. I actually don't have that problem often at all, but I'm sure it's nice just in case.

No, that pic was taken within the first 1/4 mile I rode. The saddle has since come down a notch in the front and feels much better. I used the seatpost and saddle off my first road bike and couldnt figure out why it was so tilted on the Surly. After taking measurements from my old bike and the Pacer, the pacer's fork is much taller to allow for bigger tires. This raised the headtube the same distance changing the geometry completely.

I'm looking at getting the same kit in Blue, please post again when you receive it! I've seen from the GP4000s special that PBK can take forever.

I just ordered this bike !! with Di2



I am very exited as I always wanted a Cervello.
unforunately it comes with a compact crane and normal wheels, so I will have to save up for upgrades at some point.

Picked up a few decals for the tt bike disk wheel and a shirt to wear when / if I get on the podium.
