Skinny #1 Racing

I got my care package today, which featured this beautiful road bike. It also included my kilt, cowboy cookies (oatmeal chocolate chip for those of you who aren't down with the lingo), road shoes, a new edition of my bible (VeloNews), clothes, and lots of other little stuff. I got the package in about 4 business days I think. That's pretty fast. My mom ended up shipping it through DHL, and that was our first experience with that company. I guess they get a good report from me. I won't hesitate to use them again.


Nobody's bid on my Trek again, which is kind of dissappointing. Hopefully there will be a mad dash on the final day when people bid like crazy and the price just gets sooo high. I don't know what I'm going to do with the money yet. My options are: 1) Tubeless disc wheelset for my Azure 2) IF cross frame 3) Ritchey carbon tubulars. All 3 options are great, and the cross frame would probably make the most sense, because mine is getting a little small. Plus, Evan told me he would buy my old frame off me, which would work well for me, because I wouldn't have to worry about it anymore. What would be even nicer is if I could get all 3 things. The only downfall about the carbon wheels is that I've never owned a set of tubulars before so I would have to learn how to glue tires, and I'm sure it would be a major pain to change tires before a race, and all that good stuff. The clincher version of those same wheels is like 400 grams more though, so I don't want to go that route. I think it's really between the mountain bike wheels and the cross frame...
