last week, i took a trip to supergo to pick up a spare tube and bar tape. what happened when i walked in was something completely out of character for me. i walked straight over to the display case and started eyeing the FSA cranks. "need anything?" asked the sales dude. i didn't think so when i first walked in, but what happened NEXT was even more out of character for me -- "yeah.... yeah, i think i do." i asked to see a few of the crank sets they had and ended-up buying a set of 172.5 SL-K's(standard). the salesperson asked if i needed new pedals, and i thought to myself "i can't put my trusty-but-nasty, old scratched-up shimano-looks on these.." so i bought some black ("special color!") A5.1's to match -- and a SRAM PC-99R chain. you know...because i can't just use my almost-new-but-dirty-PC-89R.
the cranks weren't in stock at the time, so they told me they'd have them inside of a week. "no prob, i can make it that long," i thought. well...ever since then, i've had trouble getting on my bike and riding at my normal pace. i like to think it's because of the humidity, but everytime i've been on the bike, it's been difficult to stay motivated, because all i can think of is the out-of-date, crappy cranks and pedals i have on there now. i got dropped by my riding buddy the other day because of my cranks and pedals, man! funny..before last week, i was perfectly happy with my bike as a whole. it seems like every five minutes or so, i'm holding my new pedals and twirling them. "ooooh....smoooooth..." just can't wait to see how much faster these cranks will make me!

is this OCP....or something worse?
