Ed what bar bag is that?

You should be running Shimano to prevent the MCVG from punishing you.

But keep in mind I'm from Treviso, and if i go for shimano my ancestors will rise from the dead and eat me alive.
On the Chorus/Record/Super Record debate I always think: why go for maserati when you can run a ferrari? we are always talking about "silly" money, so, why not get the best we can find? :)

Gilles Berthoud without the side pocket mounted on a stem decaleur.

They come in different height for different rider which is nice.

Record ten speed ftw. It's all been downhill since then...

^^ thanks Ed. Nice... and pricey :)

It is, but it look even better now, great place to quickly take off your windbreaker and stow it, GPS on the top, back pocket for gel and bar, etc.

Ironically enough, the bag is a lots lighter than my friend's Topeak handlebar bag, largely due to the omission of the click-fit and plastic to strengthen the bag.

how does it attach?

Definitely looks better a bit worn in. In general I love the way your bike is looking now that it's been ridden and is a bit grubby :)

Like this, the long plate attach to the bag with 3 bolts, and the mount attach to the stem (there's a version for Nitto Pearl stem);

Quick and easy to removed/install, while still have enough space to ride on the flat part of the bar.

what about ahead stems?

There are some alternative mount for those kind of stem, however I feel that the best solution is a rack with a build-in decaleur;

Very useful for those with abnormal stem length/height/undecided/indra

Finally put a bigger chainring on my Pinarello beater (now 49-16). Took it out for a ride today and loved it. Only thing letting it down is cheap saddle and seatpost which rattle your arse after about 15 miles but not gunna spend any more money on it for the moment.

Well that was fun.

First spin on the fake disc and maybe noticed the wheel spinning up a bit quicker.

Wind not really an issue either thus far, maybe even a little wing effect.

Could all be a hipster placebo.

Mucho.

That is one sick piece Ordinata. What do you use it for?

Fun! :o$

Love that mash! Looks like an absolute beast.

That mash is so ridiculous, needs extensions though.

Put new wheelset and tyres on the Carlton beater

Toyed with getting extensions.

Thing is. I'm not gonna beat Wiggins, so what's the point?

Might aswell enjoy the sprint as is.

To make it look more like a spaceship, duh.

I had not thought of this.

Extensions and homemade discs FTW

Racing trains again?

too late... got already a record 11speed cassette, sr 11 ergo levers and sr front derailleur... if anybody needs to get rid of any super record/record 11speed components i'm up to grab them!
