Last night I watched (and helped a tiny bit) while Cindy's bike got some major upgrades. You can see a new fork, Avid mechanical disk brakes, cassette, XTR rear derailleur and chain, and (not shown) Mavic CrossMax wheels. This bike is going be super sweet.
The work happened at Blue Sky Cycles, the fabulous new shop that is sponsoring our race team. Here is Commander In Chief Rob Love, with Cindy looking on, as Spartacus' starting weight is recorded as 29.7 lbs. Definitely heavy by race standards. Rob estimates the bike will lose about a pound a half. (Equivalent, perhaps, of me losing 15 pounds?)
Cindy meets our good friend Stan. Bye bye, flats!
And the makeover is almost complete....
This ride has most certainly been pimped. As Rob would say, "Word."
Unfortunately, the night ran long, so the bike has not yet been fully completed, nor it's weight re-checked. I will update this post when the bike is ready for its closeup.
Now Cindy will become invinceable on the race circuit, ripping legs off in all directions. Look out!!
