Very nice! Every time I see a picture of your bike I feel compelled to go to the basement and wash mine. That thing is clean.

I wish I had a basement... must be nice... I wipe it down once a week when I ride a lot (summer), but now that its cold outside it wont need it..

Thanks

Not sure... I ordered a Castelli long sleeve/pant kit last night, winter gloves, shoe covers and a winter skull cap. So once that gets here I'll be looking to give it a try...

Cool wheels, beautiful bike. My first "real" road bike was a 1973 Raleigh Grand Prix ( bought new, that's how old I am ), they've come a long way since then.
