  3. Hey, frejus,

    Nice to hear from you again! Any pix of your Fondriest to share?

    I run a 49/17. Use a Crumpler bag - don't know the model number, and to be honest with you, it's not the best bag in the world, as it's not completely waterproof - water-resistant only, so in downpours, the contents can get quite damp. Nice size, though, and it's been quite durable over the past couple of years that I've had it.

    That's a wonderful photo a very cool ride. But what's all this nonsense about cleaning it? Are you trying to tell us that we're _supposed_ to clean our bikes?

    Any plans to continue your series of close-up photos of your bike's components?

    FWIW, I'm running 39/16 on the old Continental. 39/14 was a bit tall and left the knee bones sore, even after very short rides.

    Peace.
