    Where are all the Texass riders?

    Free it was yesterday and if anyone hasn't been, this is what you can look forward to I'll be back even if I never ride just for the pictures!

    I'll have Brandy with me, but we're planning to do the NWCC ride. She's just now back on the bike after her OTB and broken collarbone.

    Dura Ace 167.5 9 speed cranks

    Looks huge but if I counted right behind the crankarm its only a 52.

    Ultegra 10

    The ergonomics of those bars are almost perfect for me, with the flat portion behind the hoods there is now a perfectly flat area for your hand to rest while on the hoods. The drops are nice, and the flat top is nice for taking a break and sitting up. I've had em for about 6 months now, put...

    Ultegra 10

    Much crisper shifts, lever throw feel is improved, the shifters feel better in my hand, the hoods are more comfortable, and 20 gears vs 18 :D Downside is I need to replace my Flightdeck wireless mount since the sensors in the hoods have changed shape.

    never had a 100mm, stock on 2004 was 120mm which felt way too steep, 2005 was 150mm and from a short ride on one felt good, 170mm feels perfect to me.

    If I didn't work at a bike shop part time that'd be very true :D Still cost over 1/2 of what the bike originally cost me.

    Absolutely loving it, only thing I'm still planning to change is going to a 8" x 2.5" rear shock to take it to 6.1" of rear travel instead of the 5.5" it has now. Never had a chance to use it for downhill since I live in flat azz Houston, but for urban stuff I love it.

    7" ... 05's got a 150mm fork so since the only changes were minor from 04-05 I was pretty sure the 170mm would ride ok .. and it does. BB height changed from 13" to just under 13.5" I'm pretty sure I won't break the 66 like I did the EXR Pro the bike came with.
