Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I would be willing to wear a "comfortable enough" helmet for that color combo. Unfortunately, I'm already posing enough with a BMC bike and jersey.

I try to stay away from Team Jerseys myself.

I'd rock the brands though i.e. LG or Castelli

in person, not really...it looks great IMO, its different and light...its compact because it doesn't have 8 inches of aero wanna be bullsh1t hanging off the back so it just actually fits...I love it because I won't see anybody else with it.

I may be crazy, but you are silly. I suppose as long as it is comfortable, and provides good protection, and ventilation that is what matters. I remember watching the Euskatel team in the Giro this spring thinking, that if I was on that team, and they made me wear that helmet I would quit. Anyway, enough about your ugly helmet. How do you like those bars?

My cheap Chinese carbon bottle cages finally arrived. A month after ordering them, and a week after my last road race.

25g claimed. I don't have a scale so I can't check it, but they're noticeably lighter than my plastic Specialized cages. I'm not that concerned about weight, though. I just wanted cages that don't mark up my white team bottles so much.

Not bad, but for the price, I would seriously get a ContourHD. Yes, you are going to get video, but that, in my mind at least, does not out weight the poor or low quality video you'll get.

Video Resolution: VGA 640x480, QVGA 320x240
Video Frames Per Second (FPS): 30
Power: Rechargeable 780 mAh Lithium Battery(1.5 hours working)
