Rival RD/FD/brakes
Force bb30 crank (wait for it...getting a compact)
SRAM tt500 brakes/shifters

Shipped for just a hair over $2k. Not too shabby. No wheels/cassette thrown in there, as I already have extras.

Did you resort to serving underhand?

Ah, gotta be Park Ave's, or a local non-shop ride. I see group rides of all sizes when I'm out and about. Some look elite, some look more like me. Full Moon Vista has a presence in the city, I think they put on the major race there, but skipped the last year or so. I think they were the shop behind the Tour de NY, which was just canceled.

IMHO - TT bikes are seriously ugly. I would rather be seen on a recumbent.

Two weeks ago, an Ironman nut showed up for the ride with this. It was hot. Out of place, but hot. And he was fast. Silly aero bars.

I though aero bars were a "NO-NO" on group rides?

They are. But the dude was so excited to get on his new bike and parade it around, he got a pass. He was radiating the "I got a new bike" glow.

Looking at the back wheel, it looks like where Christopher Robin would bank.

It's right by Towpath but if you ever come and I'm there you will definitely know it's me.

i'm in the 7+ hours category. closer to 7.30.

I haven't done one in a while. But, based on the rides I'm doing now, we'd probably finish in the same group.
