Let Me Lick Your Carbon Fiber Headset Spacers, Baby
This year's batch of bike porn arrived. On two consecutive days last week, I got the VeloNews and Bicycling annual buying guides. Not that I'm gonna buy much more than some new bar tape and spare tubes this year--I got a whole new batch of gear last year and I still think my cheapo KHS is just marvelous. Still, it's quite a thrill to flip through the pages and see $11,000 DeRosas or 450-gram carbon fiber cranksets. It definitely gets my heart racing (so to speak). One thing I don't get: why the iPod mini is there? It wasn't even in stores yet. (iPods are all the rage in the cycling world even though it is manifestly unsafe and possibly illegal to ride while listening to music--I know because I tried it.)
