F the Recession. I'm picking up that new Cervelo S2 this week. Who's with me?

List your Damn the Torpedos Bike Schwag Procurements for 2009 here.

I got the OK for a Tarmac SL2 frameset Ill need to hang my 7800 group on it for now though...

helmet, computer, gloves via chainreactioncycles.com

I'm planning on a Quarq and a full carbon deep racing wheelset (40-50 mm). We'll see whether it happens.

I just might buy two more tires.

2009: The Year to F*** The Recession or be F***** by It.

I'm hoping it's the former for me (and you guys too). This'll be Recorded (decked out in full Record) and ready for picking up tomorrow.

But to keep The Recession and unemployment from sacking me I'll be working like a Hebrew slave, so who knows when I'll actually be able to ride it.

I'm getting rid of bikes.

That's the spirit.

My freakin' 25 year old Performance rain pants no longer are waterproof so I just bought some "bling bling" Castelli rain pants. It is sad that the rain pants I will be wearing commuting in the rain will be worth more than the rest of the clothes I'm wearing combined.

I have 25 year old Performance Gore Tex rain pants (and matching jacket). My wife wears them all the time. They have held up. They remain water proof.

Got
2009 Giant TCR Advanced 1
Zipp 404 tubulars
Sram Red cranks
Look Keo carbon pedals
San Marco Regal Ti saddle

Keeps her dry in the shower.
Why doesn't she ever take them Off?

The ones I am talking about are the lower price point ones.

At one time I had the Goretex ones you are talking about and I couldn't stand them. They were so freakin' hot that I would get soaked from my own sweat instead of the rain. I'd rather be wet from the rain. I think that I gave them away.

maybe on my list too. we'll see

S-works road helmet
Giro Advantage 2 aero helmet
Kona Jake the snake
wheel cover
new wetsuit
new seatpost
garmin 305

REI One gloves to wear under my summer gloves.
Alpaca/microfleece balaclava (for the 3 days we get under 35*).
Ultegra pedals for the Simonetti gifted to us by a friend.

If I survive this winter without going completely insane, it will be a friggin miracle.

Carbone Premiums
New Bell Sweep

And spending a little $$ tomorrow for a riding coach.

^^^And will probably be buying a PT....

I'm dumping all my campy 8- and 10-spd record and chorus on ebay and buying new 11-spd chorus at pbk next week.

To stimulate the economy, and whatnot.

too late...obviously.

New pedals, shoes, computer, wheels...maybe. I am considering giving up winter.

Indeed.

That ship may have salied. Along with so many others.

Sigh.

Getting:
