I'm sure Nagai-san has it in store.<BR/><BR/>AND YES ASK NAGAI-san to give the Soloist a complete orange paint job! I somewhat disagree with David L...the color scheme and general looks now are not that bad HAHAHA!!

But, it is not only the tires, the handle bar tape and the seat that ae orange. Also all the wiring, the lights, the bottle cage and even the valve caps and the wire end caps are in orange. And do not forget that on a ride, a bulky foreigner completlt clad in orange will be sitting on the bike.<BR/><BR/>I will consider the give the frame a new coat of orange paint.mobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15740078823008165116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730233429051035621.post-20943729405348797792008-03-24T12:49:00.000+09:002008-03-24T12:49:00.000+09:00Michael, looseness of the clamp holding the seatpo...Michael, looseness of the clamp holding the seatpost is very common with a new bike. Try the special compound put on the market by Tackx (not 100% sure about the correct spelling - the little pot has a red lid) and apply over the length of the seatpost going into the frame. This compound contains carbon particles working as a anti-lubricant and also works perfect on aluminum. This way you won't have to torque up the clamp and risk ruining the frame!the ups and downs of a belgian amateur cyclist in tokyohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10959055533465197463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730233429051035621.post-24450743610851125432008-03-24T10:02:00.000+09:002008-03-24T10:02:00.000+09:00Congratulations.

Yes, the new Ultegra and Dura shift much more precisely than the 9-speed generation (or other older shifters) ... probably the most quickly noticeable change to an upgrade and makes a big difference. The bike looks fast ... but I still think the grey and red frame compels you to transition away from yellow bar tape and seat (and tires) toward another color. Any other color.David Litthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09821846303393230109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730233429051035621.post-37077039426932564432008-03-24T09:07:00.000+09:002008-03-24T09:07:00.000+09:00BTW Michael, it's "The Woods of the Citizens" (not...BTW Michael, it's "The Woods of the Citizens" (not "The Village of the Citizens")...made the correction.the ups and downs of a belgian amateur cyclist in tokyohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10959055533465197463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730233429051035621.post-75130005043091055962008-03-24T08:56:00.000+09:002008-03-24T08:56:00.000+09:00Congratulations!
