Still rambling on about bikes... I'm able to access Shimano's site, so check out the PD-M324 pedals and SH-M038 shoes if you were interested. (Shimano's site isn't link-friendly, so for browsing go to the front page.) After about 30 Km of riding I do feel like I made a worthwhile purchase. Power gains will probably increase as I learn to pedal more efficiently and my leg muscles adapt to the bidirectional pedalling style.
On to the subject of a new bike for next summer. I'm dreaming of getting a Tunturi F600. Check out the high res pic.
If I had unlimited funds I'd probably add on a Rockshox GPS Metro front suspension, as well as a Brooks leather saddle. Leather saddles shape according to their rider, just like leather shoes.
Actually, if I had unlimited funds I'd get a custom designed titanium frame from Merlin, and assemble my bike from individual parts. Ooooh... Drool...
I'm sorry, I'll stop now.
