I'm relatively new to BF and this is my first road bike. I just did my first organized ride yesterday, 05/15/2011 (the Pasadena Marathon Bike Tour) and I had a blast. Can't wait for the upcoming 50 mile LA Riverbed Ride in June!

Well the toupe is a great saddle but I'm a heavier guy so it would flex quite a bit and I was worried about it snapping while on a ride. I have the fizik aliante now and I find it to be really comfy and sturdy.

I rock a Fizik Tundra 2 on my mtb. It's the only Fizik saddle I've ever had, but by far the best saddle I've ever had out of many different brands.

I make it great enough to keep up with the new bikes so i still dont understand the resoning for your comment.
Made in the USA (the country you live in!) is about more than just a bike frame or being great it is about american jobs and keeping the jobs in america from being outsourced.

2011 Schwinn LeTour Classic (steel frame) A Waterford is out of the budget right now, so this is my new ride. My other road bike is a 1974 Schwinn Continental

Just got it tuned up and ready to roll the Elephant Rock Century!
New 105 Chain, 105 Pedals (new shoes too!), Everything cleaned, adjusted, wheels trued, bearings, cables and new bar tape.
I'm not sure I like the black bar tape. It was white from the factory. Oh well, maybe a new set of black wheels will help!

I'm riding with Team Transplant. I will be dressed in full team colors. I raised enough funds to get a full Team Uniform! I'm very excited about this event. I'm certainly no racer, I just thought all this riding I do should benefit others. A friend of mine is a kidney transplant recipient and we assembled a 4 person team to support the cause of Team Transplant.
We are also doing RAGBRAI and raising funds for Taylor's Gift Foundation which is another organ transplant related charity.
Looks like today's weather is going to be nice. I am planning a 50 mile training run today.

It was decided a couple pages ago that it was in the $16000 range including the SRM and the AC 58. With those Zipps, but without the SRM, probably more like $15500. But with the Zipps and the SRM, pushing over $17000 probably.
