Next weekend most likely. I'm changing the bars/stem because I don't like how these are working with the STI shifters.

I got a weakness for Bridgestones. Always wanted an RB, but all I ever had was an MB-3. One of my top two mountain bikes ever...

Chain-L is messy. I do need to clean that crap, but no hurry. I don't need it for two months.

I used Chain L for the first time. Chain runs super smooth...but at stuff is way messy.

Whooosshhh. What model and year is that Lynsky. Beautiful bike, did you pay the extra 2000 to have them polish it or did you go a different route. Any maintenance to hold the polish? The decals, do they scrape off easily or are they clear coated on?

2008 R320, and no, I polished it. Took a good 30 to 40 hours of work. No maintenance whatsoever, I just windex it clean when needed, and hit it with the polish once or twice a year. The decals come off easily with goof off, however they are extemly durable, and glossy. You can get about any color you want from lynskey, along with a new head badge for $50.00. Nice if you want to change the look.

What handlebar and bar tape is that?

surgeonstone 01-30-12 11:20 AM

very hot, hows the ride?

The Zipp handlebars on that cervelo look nice.

I keep trying to replace it with a carbon bike....4x now!

Soloist Assassin 01-30-12 02:39 PM

Good work on the polishing Whoooooossshhhhiepants. It does look awesome.

Benson 01-30-12 02:47 PM

So I am testing out Fizik Antares. I kinda dig the orange and might keep it like that since I cant afford a regular one right now If I do like this saddle. Kinda matches the stickers on my wheels. What do you think?

I'm sure it's a nice bike, but not.
Saddle tilt, cranks, and most importantly selective color highlighting. Yuck.

Looks like that picture was taken in Bin Laden's basement.
