Parameters is gud....depending on the parameters....

If you get an 800 or 810 dont spend the $79 on the N America maps. You can buy a mini SD card for a couple bucks and download the maps off pirate bay for free.

New hoods, new tape, and new straps! Now the weather needs to let up so I can go for a ride!

Looks good, Sid. I like the yellow.

(The nose of your saddle looks a little low; it's all about preference, but I find a 'level' or horizontal saddle position to be most comfy.)

Haha. Java dog already pointed that out as well.. I'm not done adjusting it, I just dropped the seat down to pedal around and make sure it all works. Haven't ridden it far enough to tell how out of whack I am. I know the seat needs to come up a bit though already...

Looks good....seat and brake handles look a bitt off to me.....seat ront a bit dippy, brakes a little high....but it could be big balls and small hands...

Well..............




Haha ill go ride it as soon as it decides to be spring again for a day and report back...


I need to hunt down a set of tires now. The old Vittoria sew ups are holding air, but I know where I will be riding that they won't for long. So what should I be looking for in a replacement? Won't be riding in wet, and I would sacrifice some speed for durability...

Hopefully you can reuse the tape....the seat is an easy adjust. Make sure the height is OK otherwise you will kill yer knees.

I'm not sure ill be able to notice if it kills my knees.... Got a fair bit of pain most days already. :(. But I know about where it needs to be. Ill get it close them adjust for comfort with some shorter rides.

Old men knees appreciate Speedplay pedals and you should have a bit of a bend at the bottom of the stroke.

I have three sets, if you wanna borrow a set...ask.....I'll send them to you to try out. Gratis.....just pay shipping send them back when you feel like it. Includes the plates for the shoes....

Thanks JB. I may take you up in that if I get to where I can ride regularly. Right now it's not worth worrying about as ill only get to ride a few times before I have to hit the road again for several months...

Vittoria Rally tubulars are pretty cheap and durable, though said not to ride as nicely as more expensive tubs.

That's what I've been looking at Jon. They look similar to the old ones too. Thinking ill get a set. Flying downhill on those old ones isn't confidence inspiring....

Bad back specials.............
