As for equipment, I feel that at our level it makes little difference (despite what the marketing guru's will have us believe). I'm not sure that rolling around Broadmeadow on a Look 496 with some Mavic crábon wheels and a SRM crank would make me any faster.

I am sure i saw you taking a keen interst in the 496 lookbike last weekend. (what did the bank manager say when you asked him for $10k for a bike frame.) and besides it's all about the bling these days isn't it.
