[DCT]

i got these negative g brakes free in a raffle and put them on the svagen.

I rode the 7900 dura ace last week.
the levers are awesome, very campylike.

grant,

thats a good sign coming from a campy whore like urself

I saw one 'in the flesh' just yesterday. While I know people seem very polarized over stainless and it's cost/benefit I thought it was very very wicked and I want one. One of the few bikes that i've felt lusty for lately.

I find myself day dreaming about what to dump in order to 'justify' it.

me to darling wife: "BUT I JUST SOLD SOMETHING!! I NEED THIS!!"

i am a campy guy, for sure... but i'm not anti shimano.
but there were things about 7800 i didn't like,
mostly the shifters being far too light action,
and the ridiculous giant knobs on the ends of the hoods.

the cables under the tape looks so much better too...

Best chain lube out there. I'm usually a fanatic about keeping the drive line clean and quiet. Stuff seems to work better than any other product I've used.

I dunno, but the jerk has been touting the Conti Stehers, so I ordered a few over the weekend and hope to have them delivered, mounted, and on-the-road by next week. If they're all that, at 50 bucks per tire retail, I'll be pretty well psyched.

Vittoria CX - It's going to replace the venerable conti. sprinter as my go to not-so-expensive training tubular

Ligero hubs. Smoothest hubs I have ever ridden.

Specialized BG boa shoes, quite comfortable.

Voler bibs and shorts. The pad is nice and thin and everywhere it needs to be. I don't like to pay Assos (or even half-Assos) prices and with these I don't have to.

Bouré lightweight wool socks. Yes, even in July. As Grant might say these are OOT-standing.
