Ebayer Beware
Okay, getting to the root of my triple conversion problem...it is a mountain bike crank. Alvelo put on two different triples this morning with no problems. Mine -- problem. After pouring through the Bontrager site, the difference visually is obvious. Might be wrong crank length too. Dammit!
So much for "stealing" a deal on ebay.

Italian Bike Porno
Lasts night was the launch event of Pinarello in Fort Myers. Wow! Sweet bikes. I wanted to take the catalog home and rub one out -- it's okay, my Mom doesn't read the blog -- I hope. The details, frame shapes and Italian styling were phenominal. The rep compared the build process versus Trek and I almost felt dirty for owning a Trek. Also got some good intel on compact and cassette combos from the shop owners. Italian beer, lasagna and Pinarello -- aside from a $3600+ bike, it is a cheap nite out. I'll have to add one to my Holiday Wish List.
Spinning more than actual riding. Early darkness and obligations have cut that short.
