Postie just knocked!... What a surprise, I was expecting him tomorrow :D
New CycleOps Turbo and my new Sidi Ergo 2's (white/white)...
Man, the shoes look so good. :D
Just finished adjusting them to my feet and reading through the manuals. They feel great, even without socks :D
Now going to fit the new cleats, ready for a ride...
One more visit from the postie to go (tomorrow), and I'll be a very happy camper. :D:D:D

Edit: Forgot, one of my bottle cages arrived, too. The other one coming tomorrow... :D

    Hope you get more use from your Turbo than I do from mine. In the two years I've owned I think its only been out of the box three times.However bad the weather I'd rather go out and ride a real bike.
    Worst impulse buy I ever made.

    New bike :D:D

    Turbo is for short interval sessions only.
    I bought CycleOps rollers, as an impulse buy, last year and don't really get on with them... Always worrying about falling off! :shock:
    Not good for speed sessions IMHO...

    I got the "yeah posties been" feeling too this morning - my new record rear mech - sweet.

    and an email to say that my record front mech has been dispatched so hopefully i'll get the same feeling tomorrow too!!

    +1 to the power of lots !

    hate the things..rather get cold an wet and ride and ride at night in winter than turbo ...respect to those like the OP who can zone out from the mind crushing tedium and perpetual fear that the rear traingle is being pushed into some weird geometric shape by the clamps .... lol
