I guess it would be ok on the mtb????
Start selling the plasma!!

The groupset arrived, and was I just missing one final piece for the build . . .
I wanted to stick with the Bonty Race Lite Aeros as I think they're a great looking wheel and nice and stiff, but alas, they do not offer a Campy version and the Race Lite Aeros are not convertable - but the X-Lite Aeros are.
So plan B.
I was torn between - Campy Vento, ponying up more for the Scirocco, or the Fulcrum Racing 5. In the end, this won out -
LBS ordered them up today, should be in by early next week. In the meantime, the bike is being built up and will hopefully be done/post pics by the end of next week.

I hear you on the now. I almost just got the Racing 7's because they had a set in stock, but it wasn't like my bike was ready to go anyway. I figured what's a few more days if it's already been a few months. But congrats on your instant gratification! Great choice!

Just got my DeMarchi contour plus bibs from STP. This is my most expensive one so far beating my PI micro. Feels pretty nice and fits quite well. The straps seem to be a little bit shorter than the others that I have.
I think I'm going to not get any new wheelset for now and waste money. I'm going to commit myself to riding another 1k miles before spending more money to upgrade my bike... although a thomson seatpost sure do look nicer than my carbon wrapped steel one...

You wanna try the Easton Circuits this Sunday? Combined with lightweight tubes and lightweight tires, you just might change your mind.

But trying the wheels out sure is tempting... and the reviews of the Race X-lite has been very good too...

For those who sympathize with Unibet as they fight the The Man (fascist ASO and UCI), the team site is finally selling the infamous "?" jersey. Only $45!

Not cycling related, but my long await MS Vista upgrade DVD is finally being shipped! Yeah!
