WOW! I love how the 1080s look on any TT bike, even better with the rear disc. Bling away, LowCel.
Another great looking wheelset... even if its not on the bike. Nice.
My family and I just got back from a mini-vacation, before heading out again for the holiday week and our doorman had this waiting for me. I already peeled off the OEM white ENVE decals and I'm hoping the custom gloss black ENVE decals arrive tomorrow.
ENVE 65 tubulars w/ DT Swiss 240s / Sapim cx-rays
I just couldn't pass up a great deal, and got them for the Caad10 but may be going on another build if I decide to sell the Caad10 frameset.

Damn breh, you must have some serious legs. Just ripped the pedal right off of there. Was it on the up stroke or the down? Or dod it clip something like a rock?

Hoping like crazy that every single person takes the fire ban seriously for 7/4.

No frame is fine. Not sure what that was.
I'd like to think it was a result of my serious legs, but I think the glue holding the insert in just let loose for some reason. It was on the down stroke at the base of a climb. Luckily it was at the base. Had it happened at the 26% part a couple hundred meters up the road, it could of resulted in bad stuff.

What method did you use to remove the logo from the carbon. Did you do the carbolift or razor blade method. I am going to strip the force cranks I bought used and repaint the inside sliver outlining of SRAM in liquigas green.

After my Blackburn AirFix failed me when I had a flat yesterday (with both of my CO2 cartridges... 
), I did the walk of shame and brought it back to the Performance store where I bought it. They exchanged it for:
And $4 in cash.

Yikes that looks like it hurt just a little.

On the cranks I sanded it, but I now prefer the razor method. I did my Trek frameset that way. It is much better than sanding.

The most boring cycling-related purchase ever:
Two Forte Omega carbon cages which are on sale right now, everybody. Try not to get too excited.
One giant box of generic 16 gram threaded CO2 cartridges. Bike shop prices on these guys are insane ($4 per, usually), got them for about a buck each on Amazon.
One Continental Gatorskin 23MM tire to replace the GP4000s I sliced open this weekend resulting in a 7AM Call of Shame. Unboot-able inch long tire slashes=suck. Only about 600 miles on that tire as well and now it's trash. WTF did I hit?
Yay me.

Just bought a set of 2012 Campy Eurus wheels for my new C59. The wheels are awesome. Will post pictures later.
Here is a link to the Campy website:

Kuat NV rack. Wanted to get Sherpa but can't put my wife's cruiser on that one (LOOONG wheelbase on that thing).
