I rode the 7900 dura ace last week.
the levers are awesome, very campylike.
grant,
thats a good sign coming from a campy whore like urself
I saw one 'in the flesh' just yesterday. While I know people seem very polarized over stainless and it's cost/benefit I thought it was very very wicked and I want one. One of the few bikes that i've felt lusty for lately.
I find myself day dreaming about what to dump in order to 'justify' it.
me to darling wife: "BUT I JUST SOLD SOMETHING!! I NEED THIS!!"
i am a campy guy, for sure... but i'm not anti shimano.Quote:

the cables under the tape looks so much better too...

I'm digging:
Sram Red
Neg Gs
DiNotte
Jones bars
Vittoria CX
Hammer Endurolytes
Luv Handles
and
a Ti bottle opener (the OFS engraved model) from Paragon Machine.:cheers:
Ive been spending some time on my Edge 1.38 ergott built wheels- carbon is cool-
VERY stiff - yet a nice road feel
its sick to drop 2 lbs off your bike like that

send to me now. i will pay a portion of the freight bill and return it after it has been fully tested and deemed safe.

while it is away you can feel free to go to climbs house and borrow his pegoretti. be sure to wait until he goes to work and look for the key under the flower pot...throw a blanket over the bike when you drive away and dont post any photos of it online anywhere.
not flower pot. it's under welcome mat.Quote:

life interferes w/ racing... tarmac is good enough for him.
and believe me...my guys get hooked up better than 1/2 the pro teams...
my hackers are on times/mavic/giro/ all too good for these guys....
garmin/ chipotle arre at the tour de france on felts...
funny actually.
darren, i've got all sorts of the latest, greatest, hottest used bike bits in my parts box.
a case of dogfish gets the entire contents, except for the stuff i want to keep (quill stems)

Best chain lube out there. I'm usually a fanatic about keeping the drive line clean and quiet. Stuff seems to work better than any other product I've used.

I dunno, but the jerk has been touting the Conti Stehers, so I ordered a few over the weekend and hope to have them delivered, mounted, and on-the-road by next week. If they're all that, at 50 bucks per tire retail, I'll be pretty well psyched.
Vittoria CX - It's going to replace the venerable conti. sprinter as my go to not-so-expensive training tubular
Ligero hubs. Smoothest hubs I have ever ridden.
Specialized BG boa shoes, quite comfortable.
Voler bibs and shorts. The pad is nice and thin and everywhere it needs to be. I don't like to pay Assos (or even half-Assos) prices and with these I don't have to.
Bouré lightweight wool socks. Yes, even in July. As Grant might say these are OOT-standing.
