Default My new ride

The last time I rode seriously, Greg LeMond won the Tour...for the first time.

So, in an effort to regain some vestige of my lost youth, I splurged:


CAAD7 Optimo Si

It's last year's model, a special build, and 63cm, so I got it for a steal!

Of course, the reflectors are gone and I'll be adding some aero bars soon enough....

My wife is mad at me.

Not why you think, though; she's mad because I haven't been riding much.

Yet.

Great looking bike! There are worse ways to spend that kind of money.

Dude! I said "Lovin' it"!

Nah, I just use the cartridges unless I'm on a really long ride without support. Then I have a hydration pack and keep a Topeak Road Morph in there. That one just reminded me of my old frame mount pumps. They were great for beating away attack dogs.
