I have to say that I actually like the look of the new Dura-Ace group that’s all the rage this week. The design seems to be very polarizing, judging by the comments I’ve read, but isn’t that true of many great designs?
For pure style, though, you can’t beat Campy’s old Delta brakes that I have on my Bridgestone commuter.
Speaking of the Bridgestone, I switched to rolling in to work on it because there are so many bikes on the train now. My lightweight scandium racer wouldn’t stand up to much more snuggling with all the other bikes and bungy cords crowding the (insanely) limited rack space. Like the high gas prices, I guess this one of those good problems to have in the grand scheme of things, right?
And if you’re keeping score at home, the gas prices this week in San Juan Capistrano, California, are continuing their astronomical climb to unprecedented heights:

Don’t forget the Mavic crank from their last component group. Talk about style! I, too, like the new DA cranks – MUCH better than the current one. Seems like the new design does a better job of dealing with the lack of the missing axle hole. Will have to see it in person at InterBike this fall to see how the two-tone finish looks, though.
