He's now one of us, sent me this picture.
He still needs a 7-sp cassette, but he's in the whirlpool.....
horatio, he's in Spartanburg if you ever get that way. Nice guy.
And I quote:
"I can't get over how well it rides. I have a Trek TTX full carbon time trial bike, and the Centurion is a ton more fun to ride. I can't get over how smooth it rolls. Thanks for all your help. I've learned a lot.
I'm gonna use my Hed 3 front aero wheel, but will get a wheel cover for the rear. Should work good.
My buddy and I are racing in Portland for a Half Ironman in July. He owns a Nishiki vintage, so we decided to race each other on our retro bikes. Can't wait. We're both pretty fast, so we can't wait to blow by guys on their $10,000+ bikes. "
I'm puffed up like a new poppa.
Well done, Robbie. My son is getting into triathlons, so I may come across your convert at an upcoming event. He'll certainly stand out! lol.
