I actually don't like the dual tape.

I think this would be good:

But.. I really.. really.. want this one. I don't know if it would work at all (liquigas colors?) but I love it.

That's going on my cross bike either way.

MMMM. Bowl of life + freshly cooked berries. Delicious.

Now I want to get some new bar tape. Color suggestion?

I'd match saddle

+1...

That actually looks very nice and would be a decent match on the Giant. :)

That's what's happening currently, but I'm going to borrow a red flite since the toupe left me with saddle sores a couple days ago. I don't want a red one, but it's cheap. And if it works it works.

I l like that, but it needs tassels.

Pcadette got her driver's license Monday. I feel remiss in not posting this warning until today. But don't say I didn't warn you.

Oh, to me, it looks like the saddle matches the gray of the bike. If not, a gray saddle would look cool on there.

I hit 49.6 mph on the NCAR descent this morning. That's just unnecessary.

And so it begins. My condolences.

This has been an ugly display of bar tape.

Nope, it's white. It seems to kind of blend in with the background in that photo though.

College next year. The Pcad Bike Schwag Era is ending.

Aliante.

That stupid Toupe sucks monkey balls. It gave me sores last month that I still have.

Are you asking where she is going or where she will be getting her pot from?

Ha!

Do you have to pay to take the behind the wheel driving part in NY? Here we do, which is dumb. I can drive well thanks to my mom, but she is making me pay for driving school ($300) which I don't want to do.

She won't let me have a car either, even if I pay everything. So basically I would have to pay for driving school, pay for insurance, just to drive the car with her in it like with a permit.

I'm thinking that I'll try the Arione. According to Fizik I am a snake, so the Arione it would be.

Tulex 07-23-10 09:08 AM

I've only tried the Specialized Avatar that came on my bike. Don't know if it's good or bad. It works.

Makes sense. I tried the Arione and sold it after 2 weeks to the guy at the LBS that suggested I buy it.

Conspiracy.

Aliante is for the "less flexible"

I'm not naturally flexible, or naturally fast, or athletic at all for that matter. But I worked with it, and can now stay in the drops on my bike for 2 hours without back pain, and they're 9 inches below my saddle.

The country is Colombia, not Columbia.

The more barriers they erect for everyone else to drive, the better.

I have one on my commuter and SS. Good saddle, but I prefer the Phenom and Toupe personally...

The Fizik Pave saddle my BMC came with was horrible. 60 miles and I was ready to throw it out and sit on my seat post...

Interesting. How one correlates type of saddle and flexibility seems odd. For me, saddle choice is all about the harmonious coexistence of saddle, ass, and jewels.

Hey, you're right. I not only didn't know that, but I think the correct way looks wrong.

Dunno, ask fizik.
