It would turn off again once I went to work and be ready for my return. Green roof to keep heat in and reduce envirnomental footprint, nice big windows to let solar heat in, geothermal power. The options we have as consumers is amazing. If I slapped a bunch of solar panels on the outside I'd have an extremely efficient house that would only need to consume net energy a fraction of the time.


Tell that to the assclowns on Cluny drive and see what they have to say.

I've looked at the design and I get a chubby, being a design geek, I simply MUST have them.

How much lighter are they than say a set of Ultegra dual pivots? Those things work amazingly well. Can't see spending the extra 250 bucks myself.

The finish on those brakes do look really snazzy.
