Built this beast up last week. Rode it 150 miles on Labor day(writeup in ride reports). It's my new favorite bike. The new Rival shifters are friggin' awesome. The Chetmano wheels are there only until I can get a hold of 700x30c tubes with a valve longer than 36mm, at which point I will be running Reynolds Solitudes. But here it is so far:

Wanna race?

You have better tires and wheels. And brakes. Cheater

Yeah, but you have a white saddle and tape....and we all know white is faster! Bike looks good, are you going to be racing much or is it for cruising?

Racing for Team Bearclaw , possibly going to Nationals. We'll see how fast I am. Apparently I'm a cat 1... uh oh.

I race Cat. 1 as well....are you coming up to the race in Portland, OR? I may go to nationals this year, kinda depends on how busy I am

There's talk of possibly making it up to Portland. One of the guys did a crit up there last month and wants to go back.

The posturing starts before cross season, get used to it
