    The person that recommended them (and sold me the frame) said I should go for Record/Chorus or the ones I went for.

    Good spot. The green dust caps?

    No I am not. I had in the past but kept puncturing so swapped back. Kept the caps though as I liked the green.

    Campag Bora's would work a treat! Keep the Zipp's for the Cervelo!

    Thanks for the wheel advice. :roll: I couldn't stretch to Bora's and didn't want tubs.

    Saddle now ordered and new pics will be taken once it's on.

    Heh heh, that's what I said Nicensleazy, albeit with him selling the zipps and getting ultra ones....

    No worries.

    There is a pic of the Lightweight wheeled blinger in this section
  • Big fan of the Extreme C - maybe next year when the whole economy is not falling apart.

    Updated wheel (no, not Bora) decals that will get an outing on my club's training camp in Majorca next year.

    Different saddle from last time - Prologo Scratch Pro Nack (I think)

    The pic was a bit dark so lightened with Picasa but not sure it looks too great
