Not necessarily a flaw, just not nearly as "tight" as other brands.

Thomson Elite Seatpost, 27.2mm, 410mm long

SRAM PG-950 Cassette, 11-34T

Crankbrothers Candy SL pedals

All courtesy of JensonUSA again. The Thomson seatposts are only ~$70 instead of the usual $90 MSRP.

:D

All that's left to purchase are the wheels, tires, saddle, bar tape, and cables/housing. Oh yeah, and to get it all put together...

My buddy just bought these from Surf City. I was there as his "consultant" and these shoes are not the old "specialized" shoes. They seem to have put some serious thought into these. I will wait to hear your review. Remember- white shoes only between labor day and memorial day!

Gretzky, you need your own thread.

Funny you should say that Barry, as I did not go there (Surf City Cyclery) today to buy shoes. I saw the new 08's, and made the cardinal mistake of trying them on :lol: and as they say, the rest is history :D

BTW, I threw a blue pair of these bad boys in there :beer:

I forgot about the liners with the variable arch. That is an idea that is long overdue! I might just buy the high arch liner and put in into my Sidis. You would not tell anybody, right?

I'm not. If I were six feet tall, Gretzky would be found unconscious on the side of the road.


Sans bike and shoes.

You forgot to include the "carbon" part!

Are these the same size? Did you buy Catherine a bike, or just get a spare for yourself? LOL. I know she will enjoy it a lot. Stay safe and I hope to see it in person on Sunday. BTW, how is the SRAM red treating you?

She is on a 54, while mine is a 56. I can ride a 56, or 58, but after several test rides the 56 won me over.
We'll be there Sunday for sure, as well as today. Are you riding today?
I couldn't be more happy with SRAM Red, and highly recommend it :)

Blastinbob 02-16-08 08:29 AM

I won't have a problem finding you two riding together on PCH.
