New bars!

Finally switching to a little bit more of a shaped top. That should make me faster on the ups, right?

The mags say it's not as comfy for out of the drops riding. Do you find that to be true?

I found this to be true, but YMMV. Played around with saddle angle, etc. and I felt like there was too much weight on my hands. However in the drops I found it to be very comfortable.

I didn't really notice this. I'm waiting for my sworks to come in still. feel like the level 2 padding is a catch 22. very comfortable, but might be a little more than I need. excited to get the Sworks version in.

I've heard good things about those bells I really wanna pick one up myself.

Most recent purchase was a new set of Panaracer Pasela tires for the GF's bike. Looks a lot better now.

Tarmac SL Pro. Should get here by this weekend. I'm pumped.

It's also a 54, down from my 56 Allez.

EDIT: Just bought an S-works carbon crank and BB30 bearings to go with it.

Oh boy am I pumped.

Sold all my Rapha gear and invested into MAAP apparel. This brand is top notch. Chamois is amazing (VERY similar to Rapha, but a little thicker), quality and fit is superb. I'll be ordering 3 more kits, jacket and a couple vests. Their socks are pretty rad also!

I just installed a Verve Infocrank on my CX bike (yeah, I know...) Stupid easy and everything was included *including* an O-Synce head unit.

Been under the weather so haven't had a chance to ride em yet.

My main road bike is BSA too, so moving it for spring/summer will be as easy as it was to install on the CX bike.

Re the O-Synce head unit: sorta like a combo 500/510. I'm pretty sure there's no touch screen, but the buttons are big. The nicest thing about it is is that you can configure all your data screens on your PC (no mac). Their training plan software isn't the easiest to use. I'll keep fiddling with it. The software *does* have a weather-compensating algorithm in it. We'll see how that works this winter.
