I love this bike, I posted it in a bunch places in the last few years. The paint is thin, but a good paint job on a lugged frame has to be thin, I just think it could have used another coat of clear. The decals are really nice, and embossed too!
The ride is really nice, geometry is a bit long, but I like it. A few parts have been changed out, it now has a:
Look HSC 3 1" carbon fork, Chris King headset, Look carbo stem, FSA SLK Sl carbon crank, Look Keo carbon pedals, Michelin Prorace tires and I think thats about it.

Ride of destruction tomorrow morn. I got your address pm brad and plan on heading over. Cummon Jammer, you can do it!
24hr MTB relay was mental as usual. Not a bad 12 out of 127 in the 10person team div. Our final lap was done by a buddy with a single speed surly that got a flat tire 1/3 of the way through the 17km lap. For some reason he couldn't change it so he rode it out *eek* and even across the mud swamp board bridge at the end.
Nice seeing Sonamb and cavmech out there.

Op,
I need(want) to buy a selection of cycling caps. Should I get them from PBK or eBay or ??? Who has the best overall selection/prices? I'm thinking Pro Tour teams, not Walz, Pace, etc.

(I guess this counts as shameless self-promotion b/c I'm working there, but...)
La Bicicletta has a bunch of the ProTour ones, plus Campy ones (old skool classique), etc. Although I'm sure other shops around town can also help. I think they're about $10, but don't quote me on that.

Hmm, my witty response was deleted. Took over 3 years to get slapped on the wrist. Damn, falling even further behind Op in total posts. Seems mods come in here after all. Wonder who complained...
Damn it's going to be tough getting up for riding to Brads for 6. I won't wimp out like some (cough)TJ(cough) hehe. Don't worry. I'll represent the mtb posse with pride.

Some of us have hung-over sleeping in on our day off to do tomorrow.
Also, what are the odds of you having a 56cm Angus (white) in stock, Keith?

Did anyone here score that sweet Gardin track frame that was posted early in the morning on Sunday? It was 300$ for the complete bike and a 58, my size. By the time I checked CL, it was too late and the guy who would end up purchasing it was on his way over.

Shapelike, hit PBK for pro team stuff. I haven't really seen any other online stores that carries the same selection at the same price. Also note PBK started charging $10 flat rate shipping to Canada.
