The $80 Selle Italia seat made all the difference, most comfortable bike seat I have ever used for long distances
20+ mph headwinds suck. End of story.
The front derailleur keeps trying to drop into the small ring, every few miles I have to pull the lever back, especially if I'm in 9th on the whee l. For those interested, it's a Dura-Ace shifter setup on the original 60 0 front derailleur.
Over 40mph down a hill it starts to run out of gear, it needs a couple mo re teeth on the big ring. Could have gone a lot faster yesterday if I had a 54 or a 56.
I was going to go to a single speed crank until I climbed a steep bridge ab out 20 to 30% grade, I'm keeping the double.
Cork-gel griptape = AWESOME
I've been keeping a record of how many miles I've logged since the restorat ion with an odometer, I pulled into my friend's driveway yesterday (he ha s a carbon-fiber Guercotti which I think is actually manufactured by Alan , it has aluminum lugs) and it read exactly 666.0 miles.
He also has a set of Rolfs that would be absolute sex on my Ciocc, if I h adn't already bought my FSA's I'd snatch them up.
Current mileage is just over 675 miles.
Another Ciocc might be possibly on the way, there is a blue one for sale 550 dollars pantographed everything all Campagnolo and in excellent conditi on, all original, it is a blue version of the one on the CR website. Lo ok in the Italy section you'll see it.
