New Giro Aeon. I'll get a weight on it tomorrow. 1st ride was today and simply the best helmet I have ever worn. I can feel the lightness (i.e. my neck wasn't sore after the hard 2 hours I did) and the ventilation is just amazing.

Jeff, if you're helmet's weight makes your neck sore, maybe you need to hit the gym and do some neck exercises????

Fear not, this coming from the guy who stabbed himself in the hand w/ a pair of scissors and severed a nerve!

I don't ride in the drops enough lately, so the neck gets sore. Not any more though!

Helmet is 220g.

Poison Cyanit frameset
Shimano Ultegra/Dura-ace parts (used)

A TT bike for Juan? Wow! I didnt see that one coming!

[Ypsylon]

Good choice Thomas.

Very nice frameset Juan, what model is it exactly? Plasma 2? I thought it had the stem in line with the top tube?

What grade titanium is it?

[Juanmoretime]

It is a Plasma 2, the three has the stem built in. The 3's geometry just didn't work for me.

Nice!

A friend of ours is the local Scott sales manager and he always has one of those handy for tt-ing on (and a Plasma 3 funnily enough). Built up, they really do look superb

Desoto limited edition #6 kit (400 mile bib short and jersey). One of my best ebay scores yet- under $75 shipped for both! Both are much nicer than the pics show- the other leg panel on the bib shorts you can't see matches the color shade/scheme on that side of the jersey'\.

Damn. That's a good lookin kit!

I finally got around to upgrading my old disc wheel and picked up a new Zipp 900 yesterday.

For the last 10 years I have been racing TT's on an old Zipp 950 with screw on 8 speed cluster. This disc will continue to be used once converted for track use (still not sure if I can convert it to use on the front for Pursuits) or as another rear. I already have a Zipp Predator converted for the track, but as it's used on both timber and concrete I have a Vittoria Evo Cx. If I can't convert the 950 to a front wheel, I'll glue on a Pista tyre and use this wheel only indoors.

Replacing my 404s with these. Did my first ride today on the back wheel. Gluing up the front wheel right now

Nice!!
