Today I got high-speed pedal strike for the first time.
It spooked me for sure, but nothing serious happened, thankfully. Did take a chunk out of my left Time ATAC though :\
I find that group rides get more difficult in downtown areas. More fun, but more difficult. If you have the right riders, it can really work. I'm glad it did for you

Today I had a decent 40 until some JAM went on a slow change in lanes in a neighborhood to hit me. In a neighborhood, my neighborhood, then yelled something as he sped off into the moonlight.

1. it was obviously a joke about 91MF's ****ty insurance. surely you don't disagree he's getting shafted?
2. if i wasn't joking, are you seriously giving me **** for referencing occupyeverything? just take it as a joke and leave it at that. before we start a #occupybikeforums war.
really wish i could swap the red for black. really wish i could get my zipps on. tubies are spensive. hate the purple with this frame, but i'm just not going to put the b43s on. gotta sell kilo now.

From the pictures, I think the purple's a good match for the frame. Looking solid cc!

Today my immunology professor is going through our test we had on monday, but we didn't get our grades back, so this is just torture, therefore i'm sitting on bike forums.

The Turbo is one of my favorite saddles so no problem there and surprisingly, the Kagero has less saddle-to-bar drop than my 725.
It started dumping rain about 45 seconds after taking this pic so I didn't get to take it for a good ride but so far, I'm liking it quite a bit.
I also took this one (for the haters):
I actually kinda dig it with risers too.

Two ****ty things happened today. One, my pedal struck the ground on a downhill curve, I'm okay. Second, my lizardskins started unwrapping on the top. Thought I did so well on them too. I redid the left one and will redo the right side when I get home.

Lizardskins seemed incredibly difficult for me to wrap for some reason. Maybe because I am used to stretching while wrapping and you're not supposed to with the lizardskins.
