New Cayden Cam Video: Warning!

Cayden Cam Junkies:

After countless emails and letters from fans across the country pleading for more Cayden Cam, I have returned from hiding to bring the fans what they want: more Cayden Cam.

It was a tremendously difficult decision. Great Life was such an iconic hit with the fan base, that I felt anything else would pale by comparison. That is the chance I take to give the people what they want.

It comes with a warning however: You are about to have a song stuck in your head that you probably do not want people to hear you singing to yourself. Please use discretion.

You brought this upon yourselves.

That being said: Enjoy!

The Mistress: New Bike

Some of you may have been confused about the last post. Pick up a cycling magazine and read up. In case you have not heard, me and the Allez have decided we are going to just be friends.

It was not exactly mutual. You see, I am riding something else now.
Enter: Cannondale CAAD 8.

Specs:

• Aluminum Cannondale CAAD 8 Frame
• Cannondale Slice Carbon Fork
• Campagnolo Record Headset
• Dura-Ace Groupo
• Mavic Ksyrium SL Wheel Set

After one week and two 50-mile rides, I can say it is love at first ride.

Here is how it works: Dad broke the Dura-Ace shift lever on his Merlin Extra Lite when the garage door caught the handlebars. A friend informed Dad that the local bike shop had the bike above with a complete Campagnolo groupo for just over the price of the Campagnolo groupo alone. As an added bonus, the bike came with 2007 Mavic Ksyrium Rims and a very solid Aluminum Frame.

After thinking it over for, say...seven minutes -- Dad bought the bike with the intent of robbing the Campagnolo components and the new rims to put on his bike. As a result, the Dura-Ace groupo that was on Dad's Merlin Extra Lite was put on the Cannondale -- along with a new Dura Ace Flight Deck shift lever to replace the broken one.

After Dad waved the bike in my face -- but just out of reach, we were able to arrange a purchase plan. At the end of the day, Dad got a good deal on a Campagnolo groupo -- the Holy Grail of componentry -- and I got a good deal on everything else.

The only problem now is that with a good bike underneath me, I don't have any excuses left.
