this is why you have to watch for closeout sales on older styles. I'm riding a bike for exercise not to make a fashion statement unlike a lot of other cyclists; besides I'm married I could care less if some woman sees me and thinks to herself I'm a fashion idiot.

What happens when you give 0 ****s and are single though? Is that how you stay single? I've shown up to casual social events in sweat pants. Oops. Dgaf.

Do you really think that a woman cares that you're wearing the latest sunglass fad...err fashion while riding your bike? That's pretty shallow, and if she does then she's not the woman for you! Or let's flip this around, you're so shallow that you think the only thing you have to offer a woman is how you're dressed because underneath all them neat clothes is just a facsimile of a man.

Na, I completely agree. Lately I've been feeling more like I am the sum of parts; experience, drive, and survival. True grit wins over pedigree, school prestige, labels. Somewhere I am channeling my rugged ass Yankee grandfather who rarely took **** from anyone, much less the establishment's norms.

Edit: He used to show up to our house when I was younger with a plastic bottle of Lord Calvert's whiskey which he drank straight up, and *****ed about taxes. God rest his soul.

I didn't want to get another jersey, but I Snagged the limited edition Chain Reaction Charity MAAP Jersey. Glad I did because they sold out in less than a week!

Looks a little like Miami Vice...the colors are just a bit less 80's (needs more lavender).

Got the 2 that I ordered. Finally. Still says 'processing' on the website though.

How do you like the saddle? The website says level 2 padding. I'm on the Toupe which has level 1. Wonder how this will be.

Edit: Delivered to my nephew in Aus. Not in my hands yet.

Well, this just arrived the other day



...although I need to pick up some bottle cages for it, so I guess technically that will be my Most Recent Cycling-related Purchase

^ooh la la!^ tasty!

Not bought but sold, I sold the Focus today to a older gentlemen. Hopefully it went a good home, he didnt seem like the one to ride a stiff,slammed bike.

I haven't even used it yet. This saddle is going on a frameset that hasn't been completed. In November of 2014 I was offered a custom frame by a local builder, and it's still not finished.

I can't complain though, because he's giving me the frame in return for critique and exposure.

liquidzoo

Sorry if the size is too big, I'll fix it if it is.

Bought it about 2 weeks ago.

Mmm...got Pinhead Locks for wheels, seatpost, and headset. Probably won't change my behavior as far as locking everything with a ulock and a cable, though.

If you're not actually "waiting" for it, it goes by in no time.

My Domane came with and RS500 crank, and the rest is Ultegra. Really bothered me. Today I found the Ultegra 6800 50/34 172.5mm on sale at Wiggle for--I had to blink--$126 with free shipping! that's more than 50% off!

Garmin 520 for my wife... Now she can read her power and pace up the hill instead of bursting out in first few minutes and struggling after...(put one of my old power meter on her bike...)

Great set even better price.

2013 Supersix Evo Hi Mod Sram Red in immaculate condition. $1800.

4 months ago I sold my Lynskey R230 Sram/Record 11 FrankenBuild because... reasons. So, I was sans bike for quite a while. Stumbled across this in the classifieds, originally with an asking price of $2500. Went to take a look, then 10 days later made the guy (real nice fellow) a standing offer of $1800. He accepted within an hour.

I've been commuting 42 miles a day, 3/4 days a week on it. Not quite as comfortable on the worst of the local roads as the Lynskey, but lighter, faster and more nimble. Quite a nice ride indeed. Sram Red isn't as nice as Record, but it's close enough. At least it ain't Shimano.

Emonda

About to purchase a new chain (overdue @ 5,000 miles), and considering a new 32t cassette for my 5800 105 on my S5 Emonda. I've got it set up with 11-28T and compact crankset, and it's been a fantastic first road bike for the last 18 months. I live in a super hilly area where a 15 mile ride around the neighborhood doing hill repeats can net 4,000' elevation gain. Some of these hills average 10% grade for a mile and in my 34-28 I'm grinding at 60 cadence up it. Maybe even lower. My dad says "YA DON'T NEED 32T!" but I'm starting to disagree. What's the point of grinding up a hill when you could be spinning 20-30 cadence higher at the same speed? Plus, all the videos I've watched about what the pros use in their hilly stages was interesting. These guys are rocking 32-34T on the big days.

But now I've learned that I have a short cage in the rear which is a bummer. I guess I have to buy a whole new derailleur + cassette. Is it possible to run a 32t cassette on my short cage 105? Is it cheaper to just replace the individual cogs? Am I going to need to readjust all of the cables if I switch it to 32t? Lol sorry for all the questions.. I should probably move this somewhere else

I couldn't resist it for under $40 delivered.

My bike came stock with the 11-32 in the rear, along with 5800 105 everywhere else. I like, and I think you will too. However, my bike did come with the the long cage RD. A 105 RD with medium cage is only $34 from the UK.
