cloak & dagger.

spy photos, as promised:

here is the masi, all dolled up for 2007!

stripped of it's ultegra components, and graced with campy record. (mostly).



yes indeed.

carbon record levers. record cranks. record front derailleur. chorus carbon rear derailleur.
easton ec90 carbon bars...

the deda stem remains, as does the selle slr saddle, ritchey post, and...



shimano pedals.
(i think this may be against some laws in europe... but it's only until my fancy pants time pedals show up).

also new (to me anyway) are the velomax wheels. light as a feather.




it's like a sea of carbon and awesome.
bring a life preserver!

quite the project, considering i had never even ridden campy before and was not sure if i'd like it.
initial rides have been very good, and i am finding the switch a bit easier than i expected.

i'm pretty sure i will like the campy shifting set up in racing situations, but we'll find out this weekend for sure!

speaking of that, this weekend is the season opener for me. i'm travelling down to iowa (yeah, i know), for some sweet racing action!

i'll let you know how it goes.

also! mark your calendars!

don't miss the big big action at grumpys-roubaix on april 15th!
