^ I really dislike the float with those cleats, I have the zero float version that I'm waiting to put on.

The Nitto B123 handlebars came today so I fit them to the LDG adjustable extension stem that came Thursday and took a picture.
I LOVE this stem!

Feels so much better than stupid cages. Next stop: better saddle so I can actually take this thing on my 40mi commute to work

Bought a pair of Kreitler Rollers for $125. Spend around ten minutes on them so far. My longest un-assisted ride was about 5 seconds 
Also got a Specialized Propero on sale for $80, and some Roubaix bar tape.

Make sure that the front wheel's axle is directly over the axle of the front roller, or within 1cm BEHIND the roller's front axle. If it's any further back than that, the handling will be even more squirrely. If the front wheel is ahead of the roller's axle, then you might hop off the front of the rollers.

Filling some corners... couldn't have done it without ours truly once again.
And some more pimping out on the cannondale track's end; I just didn't like the dual pivot adjustment design of the nitto post I had on there....
Yup; 27.2 x 240
Still haven't decided on a saddle through... I currently have an arione on it but I've been leaning toward a san marco suede redux supercorsa => SCROD THAT'S YOUR CUE!
