doing very well so far this season. This past weekend finished 2nd in a crit up at West Point, in the pouring rain and 36 degrees. We're on the last weekend of our collegiate calendar, and i've had three wins, a handful of second places, a few thirds. Only one blowup where i got 37th haha.

I'm fighting for USCF points now for my Cat 3 upgrade...

Thanks for the kind words about my bike, it was always my dream bike as well. I have to admit i never would have been able to afford any of it without some good sponsors though, its an amazing bike and beautiful to boot.

I really like that BH!

Here's my rig. I'll hear it from botto for riding a Bianchi, and the purists won't like seeing Shimano on an Italian bike, but it was all purchased at pro deal prices and keeps the sponsors happy. I'm going in to get re-fit tomorrow and I think I'll get rid of those spacers and bring the bars down.

Why? Just because you wouldn't like the fit doesn't mean he doesn't.

you're right.

just seems that the shifter/brakes (i.e. brifters) are working the sean yates look.

I think I have the schwagest bike and all the other bikes here suck. I also have the best dog and all the other doggies suck.

On the other hand my riding ability sucks. But I do have a way cool bike and golden retriever.

You don't really think a bike weenie really needs anything else do you?





By the way, this dog will beat any of you in a mano on mano race, Cypress included. The friggin pooch runs like the wind. He drops me going uphill in the woods on my MTB like I'm towing a piano.

GW - those aren't dogs. Those are throw-pillows.

If my wife sees that photo we'll have another dog : ).

It's over. The dog lovers have totally hijacked the thread.

They really are great to cuddle up with. We just got a king size bed several months ago because we got sick of getting cramped with them on a queen size - you'd be surprised at how much room a little 13 pound and 26 pound dog can take up. They really seem to like the tempurpedic mattress too.

okay, back to bikes.
bdcheung, congrats on the build, looks snazzy. are you sure you are 5'11"? i am trying to scramble a caad 8 up right now.

sverrefehn, ohhhh, that is you. nice bike. i agree with botto on the wheels. pimptastic.

dan.lavelle, that is a sweet sleeper bike. looks freakin swet and i bet it wasn't crazy expensive. i like everything from the shallow drop bars to the neuvation wheels. sweet.

patencad, if you ever decide to give up biking, I WANT YOUR BIKE. no seriously, i am going to go to your house and steal it.
