it has arrived. power pyramid down tube, round hourglass stays and all. 68mm threaded bottom bracket as opposed to the bb30 I thought it might have, which is okay, since I’m planning on a shimano 105 setup throughout. my first experience with a hollowtech crankset!
my apologies for the down time last night and this morning. had a bit of a hiccup with the hosting, but it’s all cleared up now. thanks for all the support over the last year, this site has grown tremendously. I’m glad to share my experiences and passion with a progressive community of riders. I hope you all can join me in embracing the new year with whatever activities you see fit. I’ve started running after work in order to build my fitness up in another way besides cycling. and though I love cycling and racing, there’s a certain sense of ease with running. in the most basic form, only shoes are needed. I guess if you’re cut out for it, you don’t need those, either. my point being, enjoy yourself.
the caad5 is now here, and the parts list is still floating around my head. I’m sure within the next week it’ll be solidified – shortly thereafter I’ll place another big order with freewheel hayes. you can expect built pictures later this month. this setup will be replacing the silver langster. I haven’t decided what I want to do with the frameset yet, but I’ll probably keep it for a while since it’s already partially built up. the wheelset will act as backup for my slr/hed belgium set once track season starts.
2012!
