I know I could add this to a wheel thread, but why would I???

This is my most recent score. I really do think I scored getting a pair of these. Not sure how many there really are around, but I'm stoked to have them.

Hincapie National champ paint scheme on Easton EC90 SL 38mm tubulars.

Woot!!!

 

[4xBoy]

So ghey.

 

[James]

What bike are they going on?

 

[loco-gringo]

What bike are they going on?

My Tarmac. It's all I have for now.

btw - I just opened up with Felt. They may be on an F bike one day.

 

[loco-gringo]

So ghey.

Don't make me resort to jokes about moms here.

 

[Serial Midget]

So ghey.

I wasn't going to say it but since you just did.

Must spread rep...

I don't know anything about current roadie bling - so I'll presume these are teh bomb!

 

[CBJ]

I like you new team outfit too

 

[-dustin]

kind of cool. who'd you nab those from?

Hmm, I still think those wheels are pretty loud, but I guess it depends on the build. Post pics ASAP.

Nice on Felt, the F1 is super rad this year, I loved my '09 F1, the geo fit me oh so well. I don't work there anymore though, FYI, so no more Felts in the garage...

Yeah...I keep my eye on what's up with Schwinn. I have a GT account now, so you might see us on the radar one day.

You'd be surprised actually, something pretty neat, but not really bound for US soil. I'm sure you'll see a post up later this fall or something with some picture.
The GT stuff looks really great, I think you'll be stoked when you see it.

Though did you see the Schwinn Vestige? Flax fiber frame, translucent tubes with an internal, dynamo-powered lighting system, basically it makes the frame glow from the inside. Not quite what you'd expect from us.
There are some other surprises due for the '12 model year, just keep your eyes open...

Red White and Blue FTW

Classic Miss Kitty.

 

[SuspectDevice]

You need to buy some of our team kit this spring to match those wheels.

Needs bibs.

 

[-BB-]

ARGH!!!! I mistakenly stumbled into the Spandex, I mean ROADIE forum. HELP... Where is the darn exit?

 

[SuspectDevice]

Needs bibs.

Like these?

We've got a whole bunch of pretty rad(and even some tastefull) clothing in the pipeline. It's a lot easier to make money selling clothes!

I'll check them out. I like the kits. I'm going to redesign my shop bibs to have black center panels, instead of blue.

Is it wrong that the biggest reason I want to ride for certain companies is hot kit?

We should have a "team/shop kit" thread where folks can post pictures. I hate wearing non-matching jersey/shorts, even if they're just basic black, gotta be matchy-matchy.

Is it wrong that the biggest reason I want to ride for certain companies is hot kids?

Yes, this is very wrong.

But admit it James , you have felt that way!

 

[James]

No, I'm with him 100%. A nice kit goes a loooong way...

 

[splat]

I have to agree too.

 

[loco-gringo]

Finally I decided to put them on.

 

[ire]

those wheels scream "I need attention!!"

 

[loco-gringo]

I do need attention.

I threw up in my mouth a little, but applaud your stem/bar choice.

 

[loco-gringo]

I flew this thing uphill last night. Now I know the condescension comes from sheer jealousy.

 

[Serial Midget]

I'm not too jealous... however, if it where my ride - I'd change the bar tape to black.

 

[loco-gringo]

It will be black before long, midge.

 

[Serial Midget]

Only then will I be able to sleep.

It will be black before long, midge.

 

[loco-gringo]

Bar tape is black now, but less than 70 miles and I ruined a rear tire on a tiny rock. Pretty sick of riding good tires on this sh*tty chip seal crap the county thinks they have to use.

CHip Seal sucks!!

I didn't think they used that down there due to the summer heat ?

 

[Serial Midget]

I gave up on roadie bling tyres long ago - I've been running the same set of Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires for years - they'll take anything the road throws at you. I run them on my Serotta - 700 X 25. Definitely not race winners but then neither am I; no flats in over 4K.

 

[Banshee Rider]

I think they look rad on your bike. Ignore the hate.
