Did a little night ride with some sprints peppered throughout. Think I've got the fit on the Dolan pretty well dialed in.

Today I am considering the Cinelli Pepper bar for my TK2. I can purchase it from Tree Fort Bikes - Online Bicycle Parts and Accessories, Bicycle Tools and Maintenance and have it overnighted to me for the same price that MashSF is selling it for. WTF?

Should have gotten it from RG during the Sabbath sale, could have saved 20%.

TreeFort is in state, prefer to support near local bike shops if possible.

nice riding @Mumonkan. that deserves the overused "epic" moniker.

Yeah that's what I've heard. I liked my caad10 even though it was too big for me, so I can only imagine what a properly fitted SS evo would be like.

I like the Dean, but there's too many things I want to change about it that I think it would be better to just get a new frameset and go with carbon.

I've been eyeballing new Giant's as of late, but I've told myself no new bikes until the end of next summer.

I just decided that I'm gonna try to go a few years without a new bike. Unless god forbid something tragic happens to one of mine now.

I want to replace my caad9 with a nice carbon frame, like a tarmac, or TCR or something. Time frame is second half of next year, as I already have other plans for my tax return.

I'm working on getting a carbon frame right now actually. Metal just isn't for me I guess.

tcr seems to be a great bike that owners really love
