Josh, a grand in taxes? You aren't messing around! I'm back on my road bike! Been indoor training every day for a week, doing CTS training DVDs including training for power, hill climbing and intervals. Went for a short 22 mile ride with my neighbor on Wednesday and similar ride yesterday. The rides felt great and I'm getting ready to go out for a 40 mile ride today. Battery died on my Powertap so No wattage info from the rides but I kept up with my fast neighbor, he was holding back, for most of the ride and maintained 20 mph until the last couple miles. No way I can maintain the pace for 40 miles at this point. My legs were overcooked spaghetti after 19 miles. The CTS DVDs are very useful if you want to train during winter or if you are pressed for time. You can get a great workout in about an hour. I also like spinervals DVDs.
Levi! Hardly trying??? Zipps, Rotor Cranks, Dura Ace, carbon everything...not trying! That bike is a weight weenie's wet-dream! Very nice work. It's the best Cervelo ive ever seen, except maybe in an advertisement or magazine. Very stealthy and mean looking. Are you riding the heck out of it? Send some Garmin data to the rest of us who can only watch and admire! Nice bike!!!
We'll decided an old school steel frame needed old school alloy parts. So swapped out the carbon bits for some alloy Centaur that I had been hanging on to. It gets harder and harder to find.Got tired of trying to find a silver post, and was anxious to get back on the road again, so black will have to do for now. I've been on my single speed/fixie the last month or so, so it was nice to get on a road bike.No Garmin or Powertap stuff. I do not need anything to tell me I am out of shape and slow.So far pretty impressed with the Nucelon wheels and Speed Limit brakes. Anyway, pic time.
It is custom drawn Columbus Spirit tubing. Fillet brazed. Looking forward to your completed Ciocc. Love all those old steel frame; Ciocc, Olmo, Casati, etc.
I agree....there was a mystique to these vintage frames that I could not hold on and decided to pull the trigger in a semi rusty frame. This is in addition to all my other bicycles...an 1996 Bianchi Eros, A Specialized Apex Compact 2011 along with a Santa Cruz Stigmata cyclocross ride. Got as many bicycles as I need an extra hole in my cranium. hehehehe.
