Finally realized that at some point Saturday night in my self induced blackout that I have lost my debit card and spent $150 cash. Also left the ignition on in my diesel all weekend and killed 2 almost new batteries.
Normally when I spend/lose a bunch of money in a black out I end up going on an amazon/ebay shopping spree and just buy a bunch of bicycle and car parts. This time not so redeeming.

This cool little thing did come in the mail tho.

I guess I'll just wait until someone wants it.

Well the problem is you're asking $1500 for it.... 1200 my arse

CAAD10 Sram Red

1st gen red is not worth much these days
Maybe 1500 for full red and hollowgrams

Another problem is that your CAAD10 is 10-speed, right ? Everything today is now 11-speed, even lowly Shimano 105, which is the entry level gruppo on the CAAD10.

In a couple of years 105 is going to be electronic too :lol:

Damn. What do you guys think is a reasonable starting price then?

Why don't you try an eBay auction with a reserve price that you are willing to accept, a higher buy it now price, say the $1300 you've been asking, and a reasonable starting price low enough to get people to start bidding. This way you won't be forced to accept less than you want and can see people are really willing to pay.

Grabbed some tubies for the track bike today. DA 7600 hubs laced to campy strada NOS rims, I was planning on going all new but moving next month so money is a little tight.

I actually didn't even check what tires came with, ha. I trust the guys word(he owns a lbs) but the price I paid, just the wheelset was a good deal.

Looks like a road I would love to ride.

franswa 02-11-15 03:42 PM

Today I road fixed for the first time. 20 miles without incident.

Today I returned to BF after a very lengthy hiatus. Got spoiled with packages from Ballast Point and Bird Rock coffee by sqrlfriend, and am currently lurking the SD Craigslist for jobs/apts. Do I have any BF buddies fromSan Diego with any leads on the above? [MENTION=164476]Scrodzilla[/MENTION] [MENTION=89773]TMonk[/MENTION] [MENTION=180928]Leukybear[/MENTION] HALP PLZ. Or anybody else in SD, really.

So i just double checked my Saddle, The middle part is completely flat, 0' on the bubble. The nose is off by a few degrees forward and the seat back has quit a bit of an angle just by itself. Which part of my saddle should be parallel to the ground? i noticed a bit of slipping forward this morning, but it wasn't stressing out my wrists or arms.

My daily commute is a dream! 98 percent of it is on this trail.

I set mine to level with the level itself resting on the very back of the saddle and the nose. Works for me with no effect on my soft tissue.

Do what's comfortable. My B17 is almost flat on the rear, just slightly angled down with the nose angled up (maybe the ends would show level if I measured with a level). Of course, check that the height is correct or else it will always be hard to find a sweet spot.

Oh, I didn't even notice it was a paved path made to look like a country road. Duh! That's a sweet ass commute. Perfect for hauling ass.
