Okay, so I’m pretty obsessed with bicycles. For one thing, I have three (a touring bike/car, a mountain bike/winter bike and a racing bike). Secondly, when I’m not riding my bike, well, I generally find myself thinking or writing about cycling. Given that paradigm, it isn’t surprising that I’m extremely excited about some new upgrades to my racing and mountain bikes. I recently had my entire gear set on the race bike switched from Shimano Ultegra to Campagnolo Record. For those of you that aren’t familiar with bicycle gears, Shimano is made in Japan and is extremely functional, but Campagnolo is made in Italy and, apart from being functional, is drop-dead gorgeous. I am literally physically attracted to the gears on my bike. Campagnolo Record is the top of the line gear set, and my new bike looks absolutely fantastic with it (photos after the fold). For my steel mountain bike--a 2006 Surly Karate Monkey--I just installed a new, massive front tire, as well as a neat clip-on rear fender.
