I'm trying to keep it at the bike store until spring as I'd like to start fresh on a new bike (it's been 15 years since a new road bike) but don't know if I'll make it. We've had some nice weather here and it's been calling me

I'm trying to stay strong and at least wait for Christmas.

Same effect as new brakes, for a fraction of the price.

Dura Ace pad are only $10 per wheel and feel like new brakes.

Now get out and ride that thing - DON'T WAIT FOR SPRING.....
