I’ve recently purchased a Cannondale Capo SS/FG. I have only logged about 10 miles on it, between riding down to the pool and riding to the neighbors house, but even with so few miles I have to admit that I love this bike. I opted for the black frame with the graffiti writing it, and I am extremely happy with my choice. The gearing is 48-17 and it is fine for now, but I might change it out once I start riding it on the road more. All and all, it is a great bike for the price and I will be sure to write a longer review once I have had the opportunity to ride for a longer distance.

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.

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.

This is not the electronic eDA, it is the new mechanical DA for the next model year. Don’t expect it to be available until the end of this year or on any early 2009 bikes as Shimano will need to ramp up production for OEMs first then the retail market.
