Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

That's the only way to rock a commuter. El Niño, yo. Also a dynamo hub... the best.

NITTO B123CB Carbon Handlebar

Off the Beaten Path posted yesterday (1/24) that it is Nitto's first carbon bar but I'm not sure. I've seen the Nitto Mod 90 SSB carbon road bar out there for a while, at least a couple of months. It is listed as "New" at the Nitto website.

I think the coldest it got was like 45 deg? Only had arm warmers and a buff on for the descent. Pretty warm.

Thanks! Its cool how on Thanksgiving I had a time of 2:18, and now I'm this much faster. This is probably the easy part of training where I see lots of improvement really quickly.

Speaking of 13 minutes, that was time time difference between myself and our star climber up Montezuma Valley Rd in SoCal, and it's only 11mi/3,500ft.

CCC is tight though, I just never seem to head up to Alberta street unless I'm getting Nutritaco, which I highly recommend.

Almost got leveled by a kid who never looked to see if anything was coming in the bike lane as he drove out in front of me. I watched him not look. Like I was watching his face, and it never turned right to see if anything was there. I used to watch the front wheels. Now I do both, front wheels and the driver if I can see them.
