This is my first set of tubulars. I didnt know what to expect. The few miles I've had a chance to put on them they seem real smooth, and handle nicely. Boyd's customer service was top notch. I thought I had an issue with the hub body. The lock ring didnt want to go past the third or so thread. I didnt want to cross thread it so I called Boyd. He had one out to me in two days. I ended up not needing it, the threads were just super tight, but awesome customer service. Now I'm eyeing some of his new clinchers.

I agree. I'm OCD with everything I buy, and I must have emailed them 5-6 times before eventually missing out on their deal anyway. Are those 58s or the new 60s?

i like the new spokes the best!

Haha, gotcha. I agree.

They are the 58's, I couldn't pass up the deal on the 2012's.

i know! im so pissed for having waited too long.

Get first generation of Shimano road pedals. They used same cleats as MTB.
;-)

That's what I offered him.

thanks. I'm honestly still pretty new to road cycling (grew up with bmx bikes all my life), and I keep going back to the SPDs because it feels looser. I can't explain it, but I've read that speedplays are close in feel to SPDs. The Keos are too tight (makes my knees hurt sometimes on 60+ mile rides) and even though it's supposed to be better (less loss of energy), I don't race so I couldn't care less about that. I just like to ride long distances with my wife and explore the places we go to.

I got a good chuckle out of that. Thanks.

^its a hot bike for sure. especially after the expert photoshop work (seriously I can't even tell the original image has been altered :thumb:) I can understand wanting to be able to walk around (riding in NYC) but there are still options for what you need in a pedal.

speedplay's have adjustable float.

if you want really icy float maybe try out bebop's? I did a review of them a couple of years ago. every things A-Okay with them so far. I even put the cleats into some DZR shoes and can walk around no problem with them (for use with my commuter or even my roadbike with casual clothes).

I give it a solid meh out of 10

The gold chain and white spokes don't really do it for me.

... but the blue matching your wall wierds me out man

Woah, didn't notice that until now.

Feakin me out, man.

I'm not going to be able to sleep now.

What he said plus white hoods on black tape, too much mis-matched, or is that mismashed...

I actually like it.


Hot.

Yeah I like it too. The picture could be better, and the only thing that bugs me about the bike is the Red crank on a DA drive train. Oh and also - needs a second bottle cage, or move the one to 'primary' position.

Hot.

Giant is hot.

yeesh

Eyestrain- Your TCR is most hot indeed.

I think the Giant is hot. I'm not a fan of the gold chain but other than that it's a hot bike!

Never been a Giant fan but this one is a very clean build IMO...I give it a Hawt :thumb:

I disagree, the black tape and post tie in perfectly. Super Hot.

Nice, but the "gum-wall" tires are a bit out of place. Shorten the rear brake cable.
