Ok, sorry did not jump out at me in pictures. I am fan of white bike tape; gives it that pro look.

Re: any cyclists/roadies?
 

Yeah, that picture sucks. I need to get out the real camera one of these days. I looked at the white tape, but there is a lot of very light grey on the fram. White looked strange.

Re: any cyclists/roadies?
 

I need new tape on my bike as well, but there is a lot of white on my bike prolly gonna go with black. I wish I could find the tape the CDale pro's use...black with a white logo on it. Looks sharp.

Re: any cyclists/roadies?
 

Is it cannondale tape?

Re: any cyclists/roadies?
 

I see Green w/white, Blue w/white, White w/Black, but no Black w/white. bummer. The black they have has black C's on it. I wonder if Green would look good on my bike....or white.

Nice bike!

Re: any cyclists/roadies?
 

Thanks...so what do you think...green or white tape?

My next purchase will be wheels, but I haven't decided on which ones I want...still saving up. But the occasional cigar purchase keeps draining my savings...I wonder how that happens????

Re: any cyclists/roadies?
 

I'm a fan of white bar tape, Kirk. Though I do wonder how that color green would look and may try that.

Nice ride...

Re: any cyclists/roadies?
 

White tape and get rid of the cog protector on the wheel. I have been riding over 30 years and have never damaged a spoke due to the chain. Just break it off.

What kind o wheels do you want? Do you ride a lot of hills? I am using tubeless wheels that are pretty cool. Don't hold air as long as I thought they would, but are otherwise fine and I am crossing fingers on how well they will be puncture resistant.

Lot's of options out there. DT Swiss are making great wheel sets. I stick with Campagnolo for as much as I can. Well done hand made wheels will go a long way and customized to your specifications.

Re: any cyclists/roadies?
 

Yea I ditched the cog protector awhile ago...that's an old pic...I just don't take many pics while I am riding lol.

My LBS is pushing Rolf wheels, I like the Easton EC90SL's and my buddies Zipp 303's. I have been talking to a couple custom wheel builders and I believe most of them were suggesting Reynolds 32 deep wheels with CK hubs.

I hit as many hills as I can, not tons of hills here in AZ. My daily ride has about 1500 feet of elevation.

Re: any cyclists/roadies?
 

Zipp's have a good reputation. DT's in white would look awesome on your bike. For economical set, the Campagnolo Scirocco's are nice. Very strong, slightly aero profile. Rolf's never did much for me. Chris King hubs are nice. Are they ceramic bearings? I like DT Swiss, as they are leaders in spokes, and the machining and bearings are very high quality coming out of Switzerland and the watchmaking center of Switzerland at that.

Re: any cyclists/roadies?
 

Which DT's would you be speaking of?

Re: any cyclists/roadies?
 

It's been a while since I looked at their site, but they now have way more choices than I thought. Here is one that looks reasonable: http://www.dtswiss.com/Wheels/Road-W...RR-1450-TRICON

Anyone needing a trainer? Amazon has the Kurt Kinetic Rock & Roll trainer for $276 with free prime shipping. Mine's on its way.

Re: any cyclists/roadies?
 

good lord, that's like half price.

Re: any cyclists/roadies?
 

Yea, I'm thinking cause v2.0 is out now.

Re: any cyclists/roadies?
 

Riding a trainer is torture. Would rather ride in the freezing conditions.

The Little One got her first road bike yesterday and put in 22 miles with mom today.

Great pic!

I was racing in USCF when I was 12! Remember riding back at that age.
