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

Show me your BLACK bike!

Very nice, I am awaiting on a set of Yoeleo 50mm Clinchers to get here and I suspect they will look very similar to your build.

I might just do that next time!

Also, when I was buying my bike and waiting for it to be delivered...I bookmarked your pedal room and pretty much just stared at your bike.

Yeah, me too... You could pay someone big $ to powder coat a set, but it really ain't worth the trouble....

Ha, I was going to quote you and say "now find the blue ones " but you edited what you said.

I like the green and green bar tape idea, plus it coincides with the team colors. I will definitely try that out. Still going to keep looking for blue tho.

For what its worth, I could always spray paint the current set...all you really see is the outside of them anyway.

I recently installed the FSA 386EVO crank w/ Praxis Works 52/36 chainrings. I sold the 3T wheelset last month and just decided to use the Bora One wheelset off the Ridley.
