I hope so. There isn't any information on the distributors site. I'll keep checking it and if I hear I'll post.

yes, because in order to ride something that you don't like, we would obviously have to be sponsored, i get it, LOOOL

I can use this but I have been the beneficiary of some of the goodies from krusty's tickle trunk already so I will let someone else snag it....the levers are great by the way, thanks Graham!

I couldn't quite tell in your pic but is your frame the BB30 version?

exhibitx 09-19-09 09:05 PM

nope, i wish

the prize was listed as the "module" which would have come with bb30 and the s-works crank, but what came was the standard team frameset

Aw. That crank is awesome. It's a basically a BB30 campy ultratorque system.

iherald 09-20-09 09:29 AM

what's so good about the BB30?

exhibitx 09-20-09 11:37 AM

lighter, stronger, stiffer

i wouldn't say "so good" as in it's a vast improvement, but it's an improvement that is out there for those so inclined to take advantage of it, even if it is minor

Less Q-factor - or rather, a return to the old Q-factor.

Yellow, aw man, ..:lol: we weren't allowed above where you're pictured. Gotta get back there.

iherald 09-21-09 12:24 PM

I'm doing the Velodrome on October 24th if anyone wants to join me.

Edit: 3 spots left for Track 1 according to their site

TRaffic Jammer 09-21-09 12:32 PM

which course?

iherald 09-21-09 01:08 PM

Track 1. Track 2 is on Tuesdays or something. But I haven't done Track 1, so me and a friend are doing that.

TRaffic Jammer 09-21-09 01:14 PM

Tuesdays? Good God but that's inconvenient. :lol: brrrr I seem to have found a current of cold air from the air conditioning, I'm freezin' at my desk.

Check that out, someone posted it on the tofixd boards. Any of you guys know his name? I recognize him from when I used to work for George at Parts Unknown. He would come around sometimes looking for random things, I've even noticed him eye balling my bike when it was locked up, out front of a Tim Hortons.
