Subject: RE: Decked out race rig... p0rn-tastic.I'm not usually one to name my bikes, but I think it's a "she." I'm not sure where you need to look on Cervelos just yet.  As for the ride, it's AMAZING. I feel like I'm still getting used to the position a little after years of being a roadie, but now that things are dialed in it's feeling great. When I'm doing my part she just flies.
My biggest surprise was with the Blackwells in the wind--they're much better-behaved in the crosswinds than I thought they'd be. My ride today was short but at a good tempo pace on a course with a couple short hills, and I averaged 21.7mph. I kinda treated this like a dress rehearsal gear-wise, so I was in the trisuit, aero helmet, race wheels, etc. It was fun.  The only aesthetic thing I think I'll change over the winter is the base bar. The Ovals are great as an initial bar for deciding what's comfortable, but I find myself wishing for a bit more drop on the horns when I'm climbing/cornering. But that's a minor thing.
