I feel so much less insane now.

No! This is at the shop yesterday. I started the build and needed to head out, so I put it on the rack.

Just snagged my second set of S-Works 7 shoes. They're so good. After riding my S-works "5" shoes for six years, with a brief and unsuccessful stint on Shimano and Giro shoes, I've determined that Specialized fits me the best. Giros fit way too narrow for me and had some hot spots with Shimano.


I sometimes skimp on jerseys and bibs, but shoes I will not.

Red shoes for the weekend,
Black shoes for weekdays.

Thanks Paulo! I am trying to get everything in order to build it up, but a flat mount Paul Klamper has remained pretty elusive! I ordered another last night and received an email afterwards that makes me less confident that they actually have them in stock as it said on the site!

I couldent help myself. After pondering various new bikes. From titanium gravel to electric cargo bikes i got sucked in by what seem to get me every time. A nice steel frame wrapped in gorgeous paint.

Wont be able to ride this until spring i guess since it will likely be delivered middle of winter. I guess ill just have to lick it clean every weekend till then .)

I've heard a lot of people sing the praises of the Campy Bora wheels, so I caved and purchased a set of Bora Ones 35 with the dark labels. Just put them on my Colnago C-50, but didn't snap a picture yet. Below is a stock photo.

And our new kits came in for our local club. I really like the Giordana stuff.

Not exciting, but Campy brakes so I can now run a set of aluminum tubeless wheels on a Serotta built with Campy.

NOS De Rosa track frame.

Also scored a used Campy Record Pista crankset and 50T chainring for $120. It's got a couple scuff marks from a fall but it's in nice shape. It arrived yesterday, going to clean up the scuffs and try my hand a anodizing it black.

working on putting this together as cheap as possible while parts come available
