That's a gorgeous ride! You should be very happy... except for those times... like now... with snow on the ground. But hey, you can just sit and look at it and bask in the glow.

Hi Beast,
TY, If it doesn't warm up here soon I think I am going to buy a indoor trainer, the waiting is killin me. Do you use one?

Nothing beats being on the road of course, but off season work on a trainer is the next best thing. I like to use the Spinerval videos to train to. I find that it keeps the heart rate up and keeps me on the bike for a longer workout. I could never ride indoors for an hour and a half just watching the tube or listening to tunes.

Hi Gang! I'm a Newbie, LBS sold me this Cannondale R800, snow on the ground here, 0 miles on the bike. Anyone have any opinions on this bike for a rookie just starting to road cycle?http://www144.pair.com/kaehler/can800.jpg

ur onto a winner there! The frame is pukka! The wheels however r but an asthetic illusion! They look nice but however r a bit on the heavy side. None the less a rookie like urself should b A ok so chin up ride hard soldier!

It's a 54cm Zaskar race frame by GT. I think it is a 2000 model. (Yellow blue and red is the color scheme). Componants are:
Full Dura Ace
Thompson Elite alum. seat post
Race Face titanium BB
Easton ec90 carbon fiber handle bars
Speedplay Ti pedals
Rolf vector comp wheels /w Conti 700x20c ulta 2000 tires
ITM Millennium stem
Cane Creek S5 head set
Trico split rail adjustable saddle (for the man jublies)
Standard GT edge forks
Then various other small Titanium parts (like bolts and things).
Thanks for asking! (:

how do you upload an image to this thing

If it said the size was too big when you tried to upload the image, check the size and reduce until it fits. If you have not tried, click on IMG and go to location of picture. Size seems to be the biggest problem for me. It takes me a few times to get it down to the size of file that fits.

Good Luck!!

It allows a max height or width of 600 pixels.

His name isn't David, is it? He hasn't quite got the torso length yet, but the position and kit (http://www.grahamwatson.com/2002/tdf/tdf3/image5.html) is just about right. :D

Good Luck!! That size problem of yours sounds like a good one to have.

On steep hills, when you are going up, do not stop with your clips in. That's when I took my first clipped in fall.

Thanks for the Advice Stiff, I don't plan on stopping, if I have to I will do a U-turn LOL. I bought a Cycle Ops Fluid trainer today so I could practice clipping in & out, got a good deal on the the Shimano 7750 pedals, I have them hooked up to Gaerne Polar Road Boots......nice boots for those looking for a trick pair of warm road boots. They are calling for snow again tomm. so It looks like it's going to be a while before I could put the first road miles on the new bike.

Kaehler :O)

Hi Larry,
The Fall Foliage is unbelievable here, it is the best time to pass through Penn. Gettysburg is a great Historic site to visit.
