Flip it.
. . . . . . . . oh, sorry, never mind, you're cool. Just a reflex reaction without looking. My bad.
Nice bike, very very nice.

Hmmmmm, I doubt they discontinued it. Their 2008 product catalog still mentions it; they never did manufacture it themselves though, it's made in Japan by Cateye. Most of the feedback I've heard about it was pretty good, the only things people were complaining about stemmed from incorrect calibration, or installation. It takes a while to install, because you have to plug in the controls in the levers, but other than that it's flawless. The only thing I'm not terribly excited with is that it's wired - but I guess that should eliminate any interference from outside sources.

That bike is so damn clean! I definitely think that staying with black would have been a better idea. Its like the nightrider bike that way.
Congrats, thats one of the nicest looking builds ive seen.

Cuski how you finding those Fulcrum wheels? Is it true replacement spokes cost an arm and a leg? I'm thinking of getting a pair when I go Centaur '08.

I love'em. Then again, I'm not a big guy by any means - I don't know what someone heavier would think of them. Yes, that's true - last I checked, one spoke was about $27.

Thanks mate. I'm trying to decide between these and FSA's, seriously leaning towards the Racing 1s. All I need is an online store that delivers internationally.

I think I like the white better - and YES, I **know** the saddle needs to be adjusted.
