I Did not like it. I tried it at the local fit studio with a pressure sensor pad and took it on a ride outside. Neither one of these exercises had a positive result. I'm still stuck with the ridiculously heavy turbomatic.

So cool!

Er...bianchi-pal, I am sorry, I got to ask....did you nail your wall for the special occasion?

This might be your next non-cycling-related purchase.

Haha I actually lucked out! To took my large mirror down and it happened to have 2 screws in perfect position. We had a different more narrow mirror prior which was the one that held up my bibs. Admittedly, I did use to thread needles for the socks but that was so small it didn't do much. the great part is after I out out large mirror back up, nobody woukd ever know anyway. It might be my standard location to take pictures, until my wife take it down and the wall looks like swiss cheese! Hahaha

That's a sign from heaven that you made the right choice in switching from Rapha to MAAP!

You do realize that the prices they have on their site are Australian currency right? After the conversion to USD its $299 for jersey and bib shorts. Anything over $300 AUS currency gets you free shipping to the states.
