13 lbs? Wow... only lighter riders can get away with this sort of thing. I think even myself might be too heavy for such bike....hehehehe, not to say I am necessarily heavy at 148 lbs. hehehehe. I agree with Jackman, Levi's ride is a total tour de force in terms of carbon almost everything. His ride make my bicycles look like doo-dats.Paul
Thanks Levi. While not the carbon railed version, I have found the Toupe pretty comfortable so far.I have an Arione in carbon railed which fits my rear well too.
I love my S-Works Toupe! I have over 200+ miles on it since August of this year.
George, you and I could ride together. That is about my pace. I still haven't taken my road bike out once since I moved up to Toronto. I just don't wish to give up a day on the trails.
Ride with two fast guys today and was reminded if how far I have to go to hang with the big boys. I'm good on flats bit hills and headwinds killed me. My power output is actually pretty good but a 212 lb guy has to work so much harder than 150 lb guy. I'm just under 5'10" and need to be 175 lbs or less or find another group. My training needs to include diet! Started Friday and so far so good! I may start another thread to track diet for anyone interested in joining me.
Sweet ride!!!! Looks like a stealth fighter. Black and sinister. I recent changed cleats on my Sidi's and noticed something interesting. My left cleat was completely worn out, it would barely engage but the right one was brand new. Hardly any wear on the right one. I'm pedaling with one leg ! I guess I need to focus on my right leg pedaling. Will also speak with my fitter to see wha he has to say. Have you guys experienced something similar?
Most of the wear on my road cleats has come from engaging and disengaging when coming to a stop - stop lights and whatnot. I unclip my right foot so its cleat gets the most wear. Are you unclipping with your left foot at stops?I did just replace my Keo pedals because they were worn badly. They lacked the metal plate the newest versions have and the carbon wore away beneath the cleat. I now have a pair of the Blades and they are great. Fragile but great.
