Re: any cyclists/roadies?
A buddy of mine had a D6 before he bought his Giant Trinity Advanced and he said it was an awesome bike. He also mentioned its fantastic if you have T-Rex arms and to translate into english it has a short top tube so a shorter reach. As for the Kestrel, I've test ridden a few and thought they were all complete noodles (not stiff at all). If I remember correctly they're both made in the same factory...

Installed my Speedplay Zero's yesterday. Did a quick ride around the neighborhood, and they felt great. :) Bike goes in tomorrow for an annual tuneup (still not completely up to speed on annual maintenance, but can do enough to keep it riding well through the year), so I won't be able to get a good ride in for a few days. Will probably schedule a tri bike fitting when I bring the road bike in.

Re: any cyclists/roadies?
Update...went for a nice ride on Tuesday. Definitely like the Speedplay pedals more than I did the SPD-SLs I used to ride with.
And... had a fitting for a tri bike last night. Tried both the Fuji and the Kestrel. Just couldn't do the Fuji. It's sexier than the Kestrel, but they couldn't get the reach and stem to work for me in a comfortable position. When the fitter had me on the Kestrel (after the Fuji), he said I looked more comfortable, and I did actually feel more comfortable, too. He said that I was in a good riding position naturally on the Kestrel. It doesn't hurt that it was cheaper, either. LOL The Fuji ran SRAM components, and the Kestrel has Shimano 105s. Looking forward to gettting it home tonight, and hopefully out for a ride soon. :) |

Here's a good cleaning tip:
Buy a single speed hub with no rim and put that on bike when it's time to clean. It makes getting around the rear triangle a breeze and speeds up cleaning the chain. |

Our kits are shipping for the MS150. It is actually the first kit I'll ever sport, never actually had one. We have two jerseys, not sure if they will just be 2 of the same or different, this was just a sneak peek of what is shipping. My mother has lived with MS for the better part of 45 years, thought I better ride one of these.....

Good for you, EJ! |
Re: any cyclists/roadies?
And I just realized that I haven't posted a pic of the new ride yet. Been loving riding it so far. Very light and responsive. Much more comfortable than the road bike was, which I'm keeping as a trainer/recreational riding bike. I think I should probably take the roadie in and get it formally fitted at some point.
Here's the new baby the day I brought her home. Reflectors were removed shortly after. LOL http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8020/7...4f2844f9_c.jpg |
Re: any cyclists/roadies?
Odd looking saddle. Is that Tri specific?

Re: any cyclists/roadies?
My Goodness, this forum just gets better and better!
I go through phases of hyper focusing on something and cycling was my last hobby and i guess still kinda is. It's hard to devote time to it now that I have a 1 year old and a wife that works a lot of nights and weekends. But after seeing this I wanna get my road bike put back together and get the trailer my uncle gave me hooked up to my fixed speed so I can take my daughter up to play by the lake. I get exercise/ride-time plus get to take my girl places, it seems a win win in my book. |
