Finally, after 14,300 miles on a SuperHo house brand bike, it's time I finally get a real one....

I'm interested to hear how those wheels work out for you. Low weight at a low price and it seems like decent quality stuff. Let us know!

Wow...it really does look like Christmas. I'm looking forward to seeing the whole build and hearing your review of the SRAM stuff.

Let us know how it goes!

Looks very cool. If you are not aware, there was a recall on SRAM brakes, something about the centerbolts snapping. It should be pretty easy to make sure you have a corrected set. Enjoy!

I'm pretty sure that's only for the Force stuff, with the titanium bolts...

I'm putting it right to work, I have a HCTT tomorrow, RR Saturday, and Crit Sunday. I'll post a write-up after this weekend is wrapped up.

Nice. My Rival stuff should be here soon. I was just about to start a Sram thread myself.
