Check out my new ride!
I call him Toofer 'cause with him you get two for one: top-of-the-line carbon/components AND affordability.
But how is that possible, you ask? Ah, the beauty of secondhand purchases. One of my awesome coaches from the TNT cycle team is an avid cyclist and belongs to a women's racing team. She was looking to upgrade to a kinda nice bike - you know, only eight or nine thousand dollars (!!!) - and so was selling off some of her older but still awesome bikes to help pay for it. Luckily her frame size fit me and I found myself in possession of the best bike on the market...in 2003. :)
This bike weighs nothing. And I bought new wheels that weigh almost nothing (wheels that weigh nothing cost $1000. Each.). I can power up hills like nobody's business on this bike. And the downhills. Oh, the glorious downhills. On my last ride my max speed was 49.3 miles per hour. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Ironman, I'm coming for you.
