That bike does look cool. Haven't read any reviews of it. What is the model name on that?

I'm getting my sewups ready for summer this Tuesday. I dick around with them less than I dick around with clinchers but I put far fewer miles on 'em. Putting them on takes a little more time but taking them off is usually faster and requires no tools.

I rode tubulars for years, mainly for racing, but in the end they really were a pain in the ass. Much lighter of course. Hard to argue with knocking half a pound off the rim/tire combo.

Beautiful bike. Di2 on the right bike like that one (internal wire routing) or the Foil Premium is the shiznit, I saw one all wired up @ the shop, super slick. You'll like it. The Foil is within 100 grams of that Parlee, and it's aero as well. Impressive bike, hope the ride isn't too stiff for me, but Piermont says all the customers are loving the bike, 90% of the reviews don't complain about the stiff ride, one or two of the reviewers did. But those reviewers have complained about non-compliant ride on other bikes I own (like the Addict) and bikes are generally never too harsh for me, particularly CF bikes. I ride FSA K-wing handlebars and mostly CF rims, I think that does take some of the edge off the road vibration issue. Those K-Wing bars with the wide flat tops are key, they do absorb road shock very well.

Forgive them Lord, they know not what they do.

Or damn them all to BF Hell, either way. I'll write a song about it.

BF Hell = Trollheim??

Anyone tried out the Thomson road bars? They look pretty nice.

K-Wings or Zipps. You do want the flat wide CF bar tops LC. Trust me on this. I've been riding K-wings for 8 years.

Bring it you fat flyover freds.....

We started discussing New Jersey being the center of the new Holy Russian Empire that would be an alliance of the former USSR and the USA. From there all of the world would be ruled. Some people got nervous
