Naw, I'm still using my mountainbike shoes on the roadie, so I've still got a long way to go before I'm a complete wånker. 
I actually designed the original updated TFM jersey and logo...still got one of the jerseys gathering dust in a draw somewhere.

I noticed that a while ago -- what's the deal? Is that for the cobbles?
I have a 20mm Grand Prix on my Kervello, and there's only about 7mm clearance.

Correcto....longer w/base equals more shock absorbance = smoother ride. Time made some P-R one-off frames for QSD this year too.
Anyone old enough to remember Steve Bauer's Eddy Merckx chopper from the early 90s (maybe 93 or 94) that was a classic!!
