They were made for my team by Squadra. I just borrowed them during this race. Simple, thin lycra. Not much thermal or water repellency.

I dig them

Thanks. Unfortunately they are just a hair too large and I get a bit of slack at my toes - you can kind of see the seam corners poking out. -1 Aero Point.

it's important to note that your body proportions dictate your riding position [i.e stem length, saddle-bar drop] moreso than how experienced or flexible you are. It really only takes average flexibility to ride a bike with saddle-bar drop at the higher end of what is appropriate for your body proportions. If you are tall and lanky, you will be able to ride with more drop than a short person with short/average limbs proportionate to height.

Look at Cavendish's bike - he is as PRO as it gets and doesn't ride with a huge amount of drop. He is also a shorter fellow.

By 41 standards someone in the Bissell team is a bonafide Fred.

Looks spot on to me.:thumb:

The Bianchi - I like it.

That Bianchi is beautiful. Compared to how it looks without those wheels, it's night and day. Makes me want to get Boyd's now.

very nice...although if I just had to quibble about something, then the frame logos are a tad overdone for my taste, but that is beyond your control...

Hard to make out the details but looks like a pretty hot 24" DJ. Saddle's a little high. DJ saddles should look like they're actually dragging on the rear tire.

If the guy on the bike can pull that off, I'm not tellin' him **** about how his bike set-up is a little off.

Try this again after posting a picture of yourself doing a backflip.

until then you might want to consider replying with a smile.... or something.
