Bottom Bracket Area...and an ode to Dura Ace 9spd




Today I bid farewell to all of my Dura ace 9 Speed components. I have had some incarnation of this group since 1997. That is a really long time ago. Much has happened since that time, and in some ways, it will be sad to see these components go since I feel that it would mark a new chapter in life.

I thought that I was the only cycling geek to measure my life in terms of gear.
I have just transitioned out of my Zipp 404 phase into my PowerCranks period.

Yes. I get a little sentimental when I sell things like Dura Ace shifters from a bygone era.

I am irrationally attached to my Campagnolo 8 speed gear.

That frame looks awesome. You'll be racing it this fall?

Yash Katsumi said...

Yes, it is my A-bike.

It is no Mantis, but I think it will do just fine.

I can only imagine how awesome Deep Dish carbon wheels will look with the thin tubing of a steel frame...

Should I offer you first dibs on the Edge 2-68's?
