Is anyone getting anything new next year (bikes, components, accesories,etc.)?
I am getting a green CSK frame with the complete Ultegra 10 groupo and Ritchey handlebars, stem and seatpost and an SLR XP Saddle and Profile Design Aerobars for timetrials. I will get two sets of wheels (one to train on and one to race on) Mavic Open Pro's to train on and Rolf Vigors to race on.
Then I will get new shoes, a new computer and a new helmet and some more pairs of jerseys, shorts and skinsuits and maybe a vest and maybe a TT Helmet.
I will use all this stuff for 2-3 years and once I am a Cat. 2 and have enough money😄 I will buy a Dura-Ace 10 Groupo.
It ain't new, but I've a 1987-88 Peugeot Optima that I want to restore. Once I've had the b/b shell replaced (it's knackered) it'll be resprayed. When that's done, it'll get lots of nice new shiny parts. It weighed around 21-23lbs in the old days. I'm wondering what she'll weigh with newer parts. All I have to do is get a friggin' job to pay for it all!!!:eek:

I'm always adding clothes, tools, spare tires, tubes, etc.
I am awaiting the 2006 bikes designed for women. My wife is riding a Trek 7100 hybrid and needs something faster but she doesn't like the fit of a men's road bike. LBS doesn't have any women's bikes in her size at the moment. I may get her a Trek FX WSD and change out the tires for something a little thinner and w/o tread.
Then one of my stepdaughters gets the 7100.
Oh, and I'm trying to decide what saddle to get to replace my Selle Italia Filante.
I'm getting my gf a new bike. Probably sending her to Trek's website so she can do up a Project 1 to her liking. With the way she's riding this year, she's earned it.
Here are a few pics of her test-riding a Madone. She seemed to enjoy it.
[font=Times New Roman]I was saving up to get a new roadie in Jan, BUT, by checking the shop’s Websites, I picked up a Cytek Massimo with Dura-Ace (7.6 to 7.8kg) for $2000.00 less than what I was going to pay next year…Yippee! So, I bought all new clothes, helmet, computer…everything.[/font]
[font=Times New Roman]I had LOOK’s new Keo carbon pedals put on – damn they’re good.[/font]
[font=Times New Roman]Over the weekend I put 90km of hills and 85km of flat roads on it - it handles very well.[/font] [font=Times New Roman][/font] [font=Times New Roman]Winners are grinners.[/font] 😄
