Dreadhead Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 Jeff, it's a pleasure to have a great riding partner. I really think that soon enough you really will be pushing and maybe even dropping me. If I am only responsible for 5% of the loss that's a honor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n_maher Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Nice! I see that your trails are as littered with leaves as mine are now. Last year it was ok, they let people go out and blow off sections of the trail with a leaf blower but they've outlawed that this year. It's pretty wretched, especially if there has been any sort of rainfall. For me, two things of note. One, I did what will definitely be the last commute of the year unless I work a half day or something. It was near full dark for more than half the ride in and fracking cold. It was below freezing when I left the house at 6:10 and while most of me was wrapped up well enough there just doesn't seem to be much that I can do about my feet. The wind on the way home sucked as well. It was blowing a steady 10mph out of the west with gusts in the mid 20s. No thanks. The second thing of note is that I briefed the wife on the arrival of the Calfee. She was a little nonplussed on being brought in after the purchase but I managed that well enough to not be sleeping on the couch. I'm psyched for its arrival on Friday and I'm going to try to make an appointment for it Saturday to have my LBS give it a once over and adjust a few things. I am a little scared that it's going to be too aggressive but the price was too good to pass up and low enough that I can keep the Roubaix for a while and decide which one I want to keep. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikongod Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 I'm planning an epic ride for the weekend, conditional on the weather. That is all I will say as I have already doomed myself to failure for even mentioning it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrion Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 I'm planning an epic ride for the weekend, conditional on the weather. That is all I will say as I have already doomed myself to failure for even mentioning it. All your rides seem pretty epic to me. Me, I looked at and touched the handlebars of my bike this morning as I walked by after taking the garbage out. I probably can't ride worth a shit but I ran a 7:40 mile last night. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pars Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Apparently Mad Fiber never received the capital promised by DCG and has folded. Fuckers (DCG). There was also a report that they did not come thru with the promised capital to Serotta (post 28), http://forums.thepaceline.net/showthread.php?t=138867 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Yikes, that's not good. Me: the Calfee is out for delivery a day early. That never happens. I already put in to work from home tomorrow (unofficially of course) and now it'll be a challenge to work on anything other than getting out for a ride.

Dreadhead Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 I am very unhappy about Mad fiber. That blows. I was planning on buying another pair. Yay Nate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPI Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Hopefully my new set will not delaminate quickly like my old set. Maybe I should sell them off before it gets too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n_maher Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 It was rainy and 50 when I left the office and unfortunately the bike required some reassembly so zero chance for a ride today. I've got it 90% back together and the plan tomorrow is to take it to my LBS as soon as they open and see if I can beg them to finish the final few bits and send me home. One thing is for sure (at least to my eyes) - this thing hasn't been ridden much at all. Or it didn't get ridden outdoors or something. A few quick pics. The only issue so far seems to be a sticky rear shifter, which from limited research is pretty common and hopefully cured by either replacing the cable or liberal application of WD40. I'm hoping my shop can get it cured tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
