Bontragers are only temporary until I buy a set of Fulcrum Race Zeroes/Mavic Ksyrium SL Premiums/Roval Fusee (havent decided yet).
Look at those mountains behind the bike, that's why I have a compact crankset.
You wouldnt have liked it earlier, I had the stem flipped up. Just had it flipped down today. The positioning right now is aggressive enough, I may take the spacers out little by little as I get used to the geometry.
What's wrong with the handlebars?

Some traditional handlebars are where it's at. What size is your bike?
Edit: Get Mavic SLs.. stay OG. Rovals ride weird, Fulcrums only look good on Wiliers.

Making a kilometer blurry
I hope I can get out for another crit. It's tough with school starting back up, as the kids are out of their minds at the end of the day, and I need to help. We also have a soccer practice on Thursdays

I was leaning more towards the Mavics anyways... my LBS is getting me a set of each (Mavic, Roval, Fulcrum) to test ride for a week.

I hear ya - I'm single and its a challenge for me sometimes. If I wasn't commuting I'd have a hard time getting a decent amount of miles in. I'd like to get out to another Thurs. crit though before the season's totally over.

I love that LOOK bike with the white Cinelli Ram bar and red spokes! Other bikes, especially black ones with black wheels, they all look the same
to me. Especially those Giants and Fujis, etc. too many big logos on the frame/fork and even on the wheels.

Hopefully not, I find many of the bikes in the beginning hot especially your blue Giant... I have a red 2006 TCR C2 that I use for training and racing that I am thinking of upgrading with new wheels to become hotter looking

Lightweight Ventoux wheels, Continental GP4000 tubular tires.
The Pinarello M.O.st branded seatpost and Selle San Marco saddle were replaced by an AX-Lightness Europa seatpost and a Tune Concorde saddle. The spacers were removed.

Also: I don't have the bike anymore, just the wheels.
