Hey which Target is this? I heard that they were selling women's bike jerseys with a pocket on the back for $15 but I've never seen any at my local Target.

Jim already has a frame waiting to be built up (http://thebikerack.com/itemdetails.c...gId=39&id=6938). Red Serotta looks pretty nice with black wheels. ;):D

WHAT??? I heard that wheels make the ride, I didn't know I needed everything else....sigh

btw, unfortunately they are not my wheels. They are Joys.

Nice site Dave. Mine is exactly like that except I have the Serotta F3 8.5 fork.
I put stuff I had laying around the garage on it. Centaur components and Open Pro/Record wheels. Pretty low end bars/stem. The one thing I did buy is a seatpost last week at the swap meet. The whole thing together weighs about 20 pounds so it is no lightweight. It handles phenomenally!! Better than any other bike I have.

I have trouble keeping up with you guys. Didn't you get a Bianchi not too long ago Thomson?

Yes I did. I saw some cracks in the Bianchi so I thought I would get another frame, move the components over, and send the frame to Bianchi. Turns out the cracks are just scratches in the paint so I am keeping it as is. When I got the Serotta frame, I had enough stuff laying around to build it up. Turns out, I absolutely love the ride so that is the bike I have been riding. I may swap components with the Bianchi.

Both bikes are fantastic. Six months ago, I had very low end road frames. I have been enlightened.

Ordered an Under Armour Cold Gear balaclava and some wool socks from REI.com this morning. Unfortunately, they won't be here until next monday. :( Fortunately i probably won't be bike commuting later this week because it may be raining. :)

Hi,

Got one of these last week for the new TT bike:

It was pretty cheap at blueskycycling.com so I thought I'd try a different saddle for the first time in almost 16 years. :eek:

Hopefully I'l be able to finish the bike this week.
