Hey everyone!

[bigdan]

I just thought I should introduce myself to everyone here. I've been lurking for a little while and finally decided that I might as well join. I live in Socal and I am putting myself through college, so I don't have a very gucci ride yet, but will be looking forward to some advice on components that will give me the best bang for the buck.

A little info about my ride:

'03 Giant TCR Elite - XL
Alpha Q Pro-EX fork
105 Shifters, R. derailleur
Dura-Ace front derailleur
Ultegra Crankset
Speedplay Zero Stainless pedals
No-name brakes (the frame requires long pull brakes)
Ritchey bars and seatpost
Selle Italia Saddle
Forte Stem
Handbuilt Mavic Open Pro/Ultegra
Elite Cages

She's definitely not the lightest on the block, but she gets the job done and allows me to race.

Let's see if this works. This is how she lies right now. No pedals because I pulled them off to ride the LA Velodrome last weekend. That was a blast! But I'm sure you all can imagine a pair of Speedplay Zero Stainless pedals on it (the CSC-red type).
