Saddle bag. Small Carradice will hold outer layer, food, etc. More aero than a backpack, I'd think.

Anyone have a recommendation for an aero back pack for outerlayer removal storage? I'm doing longer rides and starting in the early AM.....

Thanks! The real kudos goes to JR for having good tastes as a young lad and then keeping it in such cherry shape all these years.

I talked about it a page ago-try fm066sl (with a zero). Its a Chinese "open mold" frame-835g frame in my size. There is a whole herd of manufacturers in China selling everything from bikes like mine to complete clones of BMC's, Pinerellos, Times etc.
The reputable bikes are quite nice, if no uber fancy layup, and even the "clones" are ok-guys who have real Dogma's and fake Dogma's claim there's no significant difference. The market is changing. Google greatkeen or cyclingyong to get some idea of the less savory clones.

I can do w/o the bubble....but a decent vintage ride and groupo for $1600. :eek:

I have two of those Campagnolo water bottles with cages, new in the box.

Joe Bob 04-06-2013 02:15 PM

Neat looking bottles but the cages seriously stain the bottles with use. Or at least the one I had did. I prolly could fix that with a little head scratching.....

What are you gonna do with them?

herr_oberst 04-06-2013 02:23 PM

I've got enough useless s^it around my house; these are pretty small so I'll probly just hang onto them, unless somebody really wanted them. Really wanted them bad.

If someone buys that Kestrel, I want the bubble fairing.

intakexhaust 04-06-2013 07:24 PM

I thought those early Kestrel's were fairly heavy. Spin wheels? Perhaps they're not, but the Spin back then were heavy as well and noisy with wind chop. I adopted the same EMS fork on a Colnago steelie - nice ride. Me weird and like that Zipper whatever thing fairing.

Joe Bob 04-06-2013 07:29 PM

Here's the link to the blue and white Kestrel. Email/call maybe they will separate the fairing.

Mike, you like those Kestrels?

Joe Bob 04-06-2013 07:42 PM

I liked the innovation and design back in the day. The mostly were ridden with Campy. Campy whore that I am.

My Lemond Zurich CF/Ti was one of the few I have seen with Campy.....I like rides that you don't see every day. Same with my SOMEC.
