Since I'm on my feet all day, and the reviews here are great, I picked up a pair of Darn Tough Vermont socks. If I like them, I'll get more for riding in the spring.
My only pair of shorts were giving me a pain in the ____, so ordered a pair of Louis Garneau Signature Optimum shorts from Amazon. Hopped on the trainer for 6 miles, and it was the most comfortable I've been on a bike since I started. View attachment 14859View attachment 14860
"Nice, make sure that you use the right mount for your bike.... i.e., no frame mounted rack if you have a carbon frame. I am looking to get Yakima High Rollers for my truck."
Already made that mistake. Found a great CL deal on a Yakima GT mount, so I bought it. Nope, won't fit without some creative modifications, so I'll be reselling that lol
Loved my cannondale MB, but hated the wide tires, gearing, etc. loved the response of the Giant Defy, but a drop bar just isn't for me. Should be picking up the best of both worlds this weekend. 2014 Specialized (stock photo knee ;-)) Sirrus Elite.

Thought about getting the Elite Disc, but the extra $$ for disc brakes and upgraded drivetrain, only to add 4lbs didn't seem worth it.
