Thanks! hehe The wheels are msw Velocity DeepV's laced to formula hubs. And the bars are wrapped in Cinelli Volee tape. They dont have much padding, but they provide good grip with bare hands or gloves.

Thanks.
Only a few times over the last couple months, last time was 3 weeks ago. How long until your leg is good to go?

I'm out of a cast as of now, but won't attempt to ride a bike until probably next week. After I get back on the bike, it will probably be a while until am ready to head back to the track. I'm pretty much back to square one.

Here's an update on my Rush. I wanted to try something different. Stripped the frame of its parts and grease, and had a local powdercoating company sandblast it and applied a nice fluorescent green coating with some silver glitter/sparkle.
Sorry for the very terrible quality phone pictures. I'll post up better ones when I get my digital camera back from my sister.
Taken near the Honolulu International Airport.

Here's my Pake Rum Runner. Getting new Soma Quad gate cages tomorrow hopefully! Only difference here is I have the turbo on it now.
Really bad photographer.

Should be getting one of these soon. Soma's giving me a deal on a replacement frame 
So far I don't have it all planned out but I'm hoping to do 80mm deep carbon clinchers to novatecs for wheels and try to do dura ace everything else.
