New to Nicole’s bike is Fizik handlebar tape. I am really liking this tape a lot. It is much easier to clean than any of the cork tapes I have used in the past. It also does not stretch so much that it becomes thin like some corks do. It does not have as much cushion as any of the gel/cork tape combinations but it is still comfortable on long rides on chip seal roads.

Back in the day AME used to make brake hoods in a variety of colors. It was a great way to accent your bike and make it your own. Well, there are now two other offerings that allow you to do the same thing. Hüdz and Far & Near. I already mentioned Hüdz in a previous posting, so now I am going to talk about the Far & Near hoods.
Today being the first day of summer requires a celebration. If there is no time to celebrate then at least it is time for a new bike. Well I decided I needed to have another bike. I have a few things to work out so no pictures yet. Stay tuned.

Although the official release is still a few weeks off, leaked information about Campagnolo’s Super Record return has hit the internet. The new Super Record group will be 11 speed, you heard that correctly 11 speed. When I first heard that thoughts of Spinal Tap went through my mind.

Okay over the past couple of weeks I have been able to sneak away from Mount Mitchell training long enough to start work on a new bike build. After deciding on a frame and proper size there were just a few parts I was missing. Well to tell you the truth there are still a couple of parts missing but the bike can be ridden.
