Ridley Crosswind Bike 2010

Just some recent Photos -
I used some wire shrink wrap to cover the bare wires along the top tube. I also replaced the goofy stock headset front brake wire guide with a XTR - v-brake 'noodle'.

This seemed to smooth out the front brake quite a bit and provide slightly more stopping power up front - not that I need it - but hey - it was a cool experiment.

I also gave up hope on the white Look Quartz pedals. They are gone and have been replaced by Time Atac carbons.

I have also since  added some blue hoods covers for my Ultegra 6700 shifters, which actually seem better than stock. They look cool too. They were ordered from Fairwheel bikes, it seems even Hudz doesn't even make covers for the 6700 levers for some reason.

These are my training wheelset, with Kenda Small Block tires 34c. A good solid set of wheels, with Mavic Open Pro rims and older Dura Ace 7800 hubs. I have beat the living crap out of these wheels, they have not come out of true or needed any work.
