[QUOTE="Riona, post: 1069572, member: 41512"] The big Monster was no fun - by the time it was in the power band and had stopped shaking my fillings loose, I was doing illegal and inadvisable speeds even after I dropped a tooth from the front sprocket. Way too much motor for little me. Bragging rights, yes, but not useful on the street (ymmv). Observant readers would have seen the Scott CR1 (rigged as a tri bike, the one I did my Ironman on) as well as the Cervelo. There is also a Klein hanging on the wall, with a Shimano 105 triple for when I'm feeling lazy.The Cervelo has a full size Ultegra "big girl's gear set" and the Scott is a compromise, with an Ultegra compact switched with Dura Ace levers. All three have Mavic Ksyrium SL wheels, fitted with Conti's and I use Speedplay, Ritchie and Selle Italia for my contact points. ... LOL - just as many farkles on push bikes as there are on FJR's ... I have covered a lot of miles on those bikes over the past 10 years or so ... [/QUOTE]
