My Newest Addiction

My Newest Toy



I've been wanting to get into Cycling for quite some time now, but I never had the opportunity nor did I know anyone that was into it. Up and behold, my new job and new colleagues!

I ordered this bad boy about a couple of week's ago, picked it up last Friday. My original plan was to buy a lower model/cheaper version, but my personality and tendencies to upgrade/modify the bike would've cost me more in the long run. So, I convinced myself to "Go BIG or Go Home!"

Marko,

Don't tempt me, I've kinda been looking at lighter wheels already. Haha!

Zipp carbon wheels

You can spend a lot making it lighter, which is only worth it if you're already 6% body fat and are seriously racing Mine is about 15 pounds, light enough for me.

But the zipp wheels make a cool whooshing sounds.

Mine is sitting at 16.5 lbs, I'm not going to be racing so I can definitely live with it.

I already went with Carbon pedals, but new Carbon wheels would just be sexy! Haha!

Once you buy the bike and the million accessories that goes with it, you have to ride it.....you know with your legs
