finally pulled the trigger on a pair of assos(thank you federal tax return!). wore them on my ride home last night, pretty nice! the ride a bit higher than any other shorts ive used so it looks like i have to work on my tan lines some more!!!!!

That's the only reason I've resisted joining the cult of Assos... I like the longer cut shorts. Of course, now that summer is coming, I am realizing that some of my non-biking shorts are above my thigh tan line. I guess I'm goofy enough looking already, that the white stripe won't really matter. :p

can you hit a higher octave now?

Which ones did you get?

the mille...those are the ones you have right????

finally hitting those freddie mercury notes!!!!!!

how long can it possibly last right********** thats what i was telling myself all the way home!!!!

I have the mille, uno, and FI.13 S2's, but I wore the Mille at Solvang.

thems the ones!!!

Bikes Aloft 2 to alleviate some space in the garage that is overcrowded with repair/maintenance/detailing supplies, car parts, and the car.

My first ever ebay purcahse:

BELL Sweep R Cycling Race Helmet

White/Silver 2007

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...DME:B:AAQ:US:1

Showed up as advertised, so at $83.00, a great price. I was leery (is it a fake, is it used, etc, but no sign of any of this).

It's off-season, but I just picked up a DeMarchi C+ bib tight for $40 - 10% at nashbar. Also picked up a 12-27 cassette at Performance ($66-10%). :)

Went out for a car ride today along my bike shopping route (78). Picked up a Kodiak light long sleeve jersey on clearance at Perf.

The main purpose was actually to try make use of my Trek 20% coupon. Initially I decided not to get the wheel deal (Bontrager X-lite for $500 otd)... but then couldn't help myself when I see the Easton Tempest2/Ascent2 on sale for $450 for a $380 otd (I got the Tempest 2).

Very nice. :D

07 Subaru Outback, in black. Not my first choice in color, but the other one they had in stock was a pretty awful green color and they gave me a screaming deal to take one off their lot.

Good gas mileage and will haul my bike around nicely. Plus, my old car was cursed and I needed it out of my life.

Niiiice!!!!!

Congrats, Ron!! I call shotgun!!! :p

Tuuurbo?

oh man i'm so jealous, i really dig those wagons.

Nah, it's the plain 2.5 engine. The 3.0 6 cylinder was out of my range, and to tell you the truth.... I don't really care that much about horsepower anymore. I just need to get around.

Congratulations! :beer: I had gone about 2 weekends ago with a friend so that I can test drive one of these while friend test drove a wrx wagon. I also wanted to try out the Legacy Wagon GT2.5 (I think thats the full name) but the dealer didnt have any in stock. :( My friend eventually ended up getting one of those El-Camino like Baja's instead.

If you're thinking of gettin a new WRX... do it now, lest you get stuck with the coming '08s. Can you say, looks like ass? It's like a Mazda3 wagon (nothing wrong with that) had sex with a Hyundai Tiburon (definitely something wrong with that, no offense).

I think the Legacy wagons are being discontinued after 2007, so they're selling now. I got this one in Thousand Oaks, they have one Legacy GT in stock. Of course, Thousand Oaks is about 80 miles from you. :rolleyes: You could come up for the Mulholland Challenge on Saturday and make of day of it :D

If they could fix that front, I'd love it.
