Yahoo, I just received my Garmin Edge 305!!!:) :D :) :D And here's the best part, Greg (Turtle 45) paid extra for the better shipping option and I got mine here at work first!!!:p I'm sure Greg's is probably sitting on his porch as this is being written, but he's been having fun letting me know how much smarter he was by paying only 3 dollars more than me to get it a few days earlier.
Really though, thanks for the tip Greg.

Now...who can tell me how this thing works???

My first upgrade to the bike, Speedplay Zero pedals and of course some road shoes.:) Did 40+ miles on Sunday and all my joints seem to be happy (although my wallet isn't). :rolleyes:

Another victim of EUI....just won this beauty....now I have to go buy a BB, maybe a new chain ring or cassette to get the gearing down (these are 50/36....I need 50/34 at least)

sigh... at $163 its a great deal but bittersweet

Happytime: Question... Should I leave the tops wrapped or unwrapped?


Unwrapped!

That is beautiful. I am looking for something similar but the Ultra Torque style.

Another men's Castelli jersey on sale for $27 right now (Reg $75) on http://www.steepandcheap.com/. This one's long sleeved, but it might be worth it to closet it until fall.

I ordered this from steepandcheap the other day. It came in today... fast shipping!

That is so cute!!!!!! Dang, I always miss the SAC stuff!!! :mad:

I think Asia ordered one too. This may become the unofficial SoCal BF girl jersey. :lol:

stock kilo tt 57cm....added a front brake and removed the plastic toe clips since i was successful only once getting both feet into them while pedaling. i'll be getting some steel mks clips very soon.

the down tube is actually tear drop shaped which is kinda different. the seat isn't uncomfortable whilst wearing my new endura knickers even without the removeable padded lycra shorts.

i'll be changing it significantly soon with a different color scheme on the wheels, tires, bars, tape and a new saddle. also adding a clamp-on bottle cage. flip/flop hub so i'll put a singlespeed cog on the other side and change the 16 to something i can spin faster since it is hilly here.

a couple of rides up and down the alley then once around the block. LOVE IT. :D

Very nice. As for the pedals, clips are the toughest on fixed. You get about a microsecond each revolution to flip and insert. You will get the hang of it soon enough. I use SPDs on my fixed and they are much simpler.

Well???? Did ya figure it out yet? :p

i knew it would take practice but the plastic had to go anyway. i'll have 2 sets of pedals, one for when i'm cruising around the beach cities and then clipless for serious riding.

Wow, that's a new bike. Pics? :D

heres one from the iro site. obviously it doesnt have the components i ordered. http://www.irofixedgear.com/ProductI...mark_v_LRG.jpg it was either this or one of those "gang green" pistas, but since i am of taller stature i went with the larger frame. i think the pistas only go up to 59 or 60cm.
