Details will come out in December on our facebook page, not here (at least by me). I am not paying advertising here currently so doing the release on a thread here isn't the best idea.

Like I said, it isn't a matter of it not being "Adequate". Just surprising to see a FULL DA build and Psimet wheelset. As I said before, psimet wheels are good and have a good following/reputation. What I was emplying was that you have a top shelf "Name Brand" that every single cyclist has heard of with a wheelset that frankly isn't. Would be like if he had a full DA groupo matched with forte stem/bars and seatpost. All stuff that will work, some of which is fairly light and strong but considered to be a cheaper option among cyclists.

Took a pretty bad spill today. Replaced a bottle cage that broke in the fall, as well as new brifter hoods because mine developed gouges from the fall. I'm waiting for black friday to replace my torn kit though.

This was the last year for the Idol frameset from De Rosa. The price was too good to pass up, and at least I'll be able to transfer the SR11 parts from the Noah over to this.

No offense to pismit because he has a good reputation and builds good wheels. It just seems odd to me that you would drop A LOT of skrilla on a full dura ace set up and then choose pismit wheels as your choice. Again, no offense intended. That dura ace cassette retails for $300+
Uhh.....No Offense, but you're a lame ass Fred....How bout you take your Super 6, and sup that **** up and then you can come talk to me....
P.S
You're glasses SUCCKKKK!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks guys!
They're much smoother and more comfortable than my old set up (rs-10's and scwable Lug's). So far I posted my fastest overall time (not by much) on my normal short ride which is 12 miles. That was today and it was a little chilly / dark this evening compared to my late summer day run.
So far I'm very very very happy. We'll see if they "break-in" a bit more after a few hundred miles. They have a whopping 30 miles on them so far haha.
I thought they were quite loud cruising when I spun them at home but compared to my friends zip 404s they are a little quiter.
TXRR - I have that same Camelbak bottle! Hah what you think compared to the polars?

A new to me 2008 Felt F3! Now I have to sell my cross bike to pay for it (N+1 is not permitted by my wife, so I have to make it N+0)
