Default So today I got my OEM roof bars and 2 Audi Barracuda bike racks.

Breeze to install and mount but I don't know how long I'll be able to stand having these things on my roof rails. I have to admit I kinda like the rugged look but they are just causing greater drag coefficient and take away from the streamline flow of car.

To the bikers out there I just picked up a new Specialized Rockhopper Pro hardtail mtn bike and a Specialized carbon fiber Tarmac comp. Quite pleased with them both. I'll post some pictures tomorrow!

Thumbs up to the Specialized bikes. I have an older Rockhopper hardtail too. I LOVE IT.

Default My cycling coach has the S-works Tarmac and loves it...

Different components but same frame. I still like my Orbea though. Good luck with them

Default 2005 Onix and fvcking love it (more...)

Really fast, fairly smooth, my only issue is that I'm a big guy (175lbs)and when I really go at the sprinting, and I mean like in excess of 40mph, the bottom bracket flexes a little, other tham that, its amazing. I crashed into a car in traffic last September and in a race in May, no real problems with it at all, some scratched paint, but the frame stayed intact. Absolutely love it. So much in fact that our team is sponsered by Specialized, and instead of grabbing a heavily discounted frame, I went with this and built it up. Any other question feel free to email me.
