Well boys - after alot of pressure from my friends, I'm going to try out SS. For the first time in a few years I'm riding very strong early in the year due to a TON of winter training / cross training. So I ordered all the parts yesterday and I'm turn this into my SS bike

I'm going to try 34-17 to start - I'll more pictures once the parts come in.

funny that you should point that out - I did go to some 22in carbon flat bars, for 1 ride - after that I went back to the 24in 2in riser bars. The flat bars KILLED my back.
