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

Specialized Toupe Pro saddle to replace same that was previously crashed and subsequently developed a hairline crack in the casing that grew bigger over the past few years.

SO, how would you describe the fit of the Eliel jerseys? I visited the web site and by their charts I am an XL, which I am in most all jerseys (185, 44 chest, 35-36 waist). I am not fond of the ultra-tight fitting styles and these look to be that kind....

Schwinn cyclocross alumium bike

I just bought a Schwinn cyclocross bike. Aluminum frame, 700c wheels - forget its model name this second. But nice non suspension one.
Thanks.
Srinath.

Lifeline EVA Bike pod: Semi-rigid bike box for taking it on the plane! Just over $200 shipped to the USA from Chainreactioncycles.

Seems like a decent case for the money. It is not super rigid, but not super heavy either. Made from the material that your little trunk cover in a car is made of. Takes a full size bike + wheelset

I had looked at some reviews, and for the money, I don't think this can be beat.

Sorry I just saw this, you are about the same dimensions as me. I wear an XL. The best way to describe it is they fit like a proper fitting jersey should. Not restrictive but form fitting in addition to the correct length in the front and back. There are no baggy areas to flap around in the wind.

Been liking my Giro Empire E70 Knit shoes so much, couldn't resist these Republic R Knit for my SPDs when I saw them for 50% off. Comfy, hopefully the soles don't pedal like a wet noodle.

Lazer Cyclone MIPS helmet from co-worker who bought it on Sierra but found that it didn't look good on his head. Fit me better and I wanted a more casual multisport helmet when I would feel silly wearing my Bontrager Ballista aero helmet.
