    I think I need a napkin to wipe away the drool....that is one *hot* ride! Post again after you've taken her out for a spin and let us know how it was!

    Looks hot, stylish, but hard to keep clean - but what is a roll of bar tape or two against a SRAM red group.

    Also it looks like a largish frame fitted to a smallish person but who am I to judge...
    It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

    that bike is super hot.

    may I suggest Fizik bar tape. Their white tape is much easier to keep white than white cork tape or synthetic white tapes with a sort of soft corky sueded feel.

    that is sick!

    btw, I'm picking up some Mon Chasseral wheels from the shop today to go with my white Tarmac

    I don't like getting blown around on the Carbones for my "whatever rides."
    I also like those tubes, but I only use them on the Carbones (need 80mm valve). For some reason, my BF and I aren't having the best luck with this 60mm tube on our other wheels. Seemed to have a slow leak, but then we inflated the tube off of the bike, and it seems to be doing fine. ...? I think I'm sticking with Bontrager for short valves, because they have served me pretty well so far. I also don't like how the V's aren't threaded. They rattle around a lot, particularly in the carbon fairing on the Carbones.


    I have to ask... why not go all the way with white Hudz?

    Nice ride......If you want possibly the best and strongest wheelset to compliment your bike I would get the Edge 25 carbon tubulars. I believe they come in under 1000 grams for the set.

    the cleaning is no big deal!

    as for the frame size...it was professionally fitted. i'm 5'5" with 28.5" inseam. and that's the XS frame...with something around a 520mm horizontal top tube length. i've been fitted to a tt length of 510-520.

    i'm just short...it sucks...

    just got back home!

    went on a 25 mile ride with some people. it was GREAT! the weather was wonderful and the bike rode like a dream! haven't been on her since last year. i have ridden outside this year...but it was on my BH Connect. now...i love my BH Connect...but the 595 is such a superior bike! it's just so balanced...descends like a bat out of hell...climbs like a goat...responsive...and even damn comfortable.
