those look like maverick rims? have you ever done those virtual races where they hook up your bike and you do a stage and they time you with the resistance on the roller changing?

lol i dunno haven't been on the bike scene much anymore... my favourite bike for along time was the pinerello prince... until i saw a casual rider in the club ride one in the lasseir faire group... i cried...

yep, I've done them. Those are cheap Mavic's on my wifes Kuota and the Cervelo I have on the trainer next to her bike. The Cervelo in the background has HED Jet9/6 with a powertap. I have a road bike and a couple MTB's also, but they are in the garage. I have a Fuji aluminum frame with carbon fork and seat stays and Campy components for a road bike. I think I'm going to upgrade that to a Specialized Venge LR in the spring. I liked the Prince's but they are kind of behind the times now with their carbon technology. There's much better things on the market now IMO, especially for that price tag!! :)

thanks! I actually pack up a bike and jump on a plane to Cali once during the winter too. Not only is it cold here, but there are no mountains either! It's nice to get a taste of things I can't train for here in my state! :)

Yeah! I love going out there! Usually hit up Monterey, ride the coast some and head into Salinas. There's a killer climb up Freemont Peak there! Hopefully hit it up again in April.
They actually open up Laguna Seca to cyclists on certain nights too. I've ridden my bike on it and not my car! Shame really! Lol
