I love my triple crankset. I've ridden standard double, compact double, and triple, and I like the triple best.

I really like the Sora shifter/brake levers. I could have built my current bike 9 speed but I went with 8 so I could use the Soras.

I use a lot of Tiagra components because I like the word "Tiagra".

Like Gladius, I'm a wind-wimp. It is too often the reason I don't ride.

...

Wow, it feels good to get all that off my chest.
