From my local LBS. Need the brake cables now but when I got them, they were more purple than red. Not easy to pick up if you look at the bike but the owner always knows...
Pics coming - cleaned the bike - looking mint. Yeah - that was me in the race. Thanks for the tip, will see what I can do about revealing more of the white. You mention cling-wrap, just took it off my seat before the race...
Yeah - true! Would like to knock off the extra weight on my bike but they were just so pretty, so had to have them! Will add pics tomorrow of the finished product...
Regardless of the weight - a road bike will be more suited to you going faster and it will be easier to ride on the road compared to a mountain bike. Anti52009-05-28 05:01:56
Road bikes weighing less than your "claimed" 7kg MTB will cost you more than an arm and a leg. Entry level carbon fibre road bikes probably weigh in the region of 8.5kg to 10kg...
I definitely do the weight training thing but don't just focus on the legs - do arms through to stomach - you got to have a strong core for the bike! Normally crawl home cause my calves take the biggest knock!
