Shorts or Bibs?

The thought of being in a porta potty on a ride like the STP and struggling to get out of a jersey so I can struggle out of bibs, keep track of everything while I'm doing my business, then reassembling while all wet and sweaty, is the only thing that holds me back from buying bib shorts.

Old school or new school?

While a computer isn't absolutely necessary, it is nice for tracking improvement and scheduling maintenance (ie, providing a general guideline as to when to change the chain or tires or when to lube). They also tend to be inexpensive and easy to install--so why not?

Speechless, absolutely speechless

I just received my velocita today, and I must say my first impression is very favorable! Honestly, I'd had some pangs of buyer's remorse after I found a handful of very negative reviews about giantnerd and the probuild service. I'm happy to report that my experience has been very different. The bike really was ready to ride right out of the box. All I had to do was put the skewer in the front wheel and snap that puppy on and fiddle with the seatpost and pedals and I was out the door! i am amazed. the wheels apear to be true and the shifting is flawless--at least for a trip around the block. It is beautiful and light as a cough! I love it already.
