Home of a Lesser Mortal

It’s taken me a few weeks of contemplation… but eventually I still decided to sell my beloved P2SL away. I enjoyed the 4 months it has given me, but I just decided to give up road cycling for various reasons, safety being the primary one.

I had several near misses from errant bus and . . . → Read More: Bye Cervélo!

I took my LX3 for a spin today… so here’s the first photo of my P2SL.

Notice the mismatching handlebar tape of my new Profile Design Carbon Stryke aero bars. Looks kinda wierd the way it curves up, but it’s more comfortable though… and I still prefer the looks of my original T2+.

It took me a full 11 days to get my bike back in action. I got the replacement work done at passi:one:. Their service is pretty good… although I found out that my front wheel and rear shifter’s not aligned properly, will have to pop by to fine tune it again.

Total damage: $130: . . . → Read More: Back in action!

Not exactly an accident, but still…

My first round island cycling trip ever… and the furthest distance I ever cycled. By the time I reached home, both my legs feels as if they’re detached from my body

Some good scenery along the way, and we went to places I’ve never been to for a very long time, or never before. . . . → Read More: Round island!

Cycling is really getting into me… now I’m crazy enough to wake up at 4:30am to join the Dawn Riders for their  fast ride starting at 5am this morning. And fast it was…I was seriously contemplating giving up just 5km into the ride, but as I warmed up to the speed, I was barely . . . → Read More: Improved again!

Yesterday’s morning ride was pretty short and slow, more like a breakfast trip so I couldn’t really try out how fast the P2SL is… I did feel it was significantly faster, both on flats and slopes. Flats being the riding position on the aero bars is more aerodynamic and comfortable and slopes probably because . . . → Read More: Zoom zoom zoom…

This is not my bike, just a random photo. Mine has red handlebar tape and tyres.

Earlier this week I spotted this Cervélo P2SL, a bike I’ve been eying for a while, being put on sale at an unbelievable price. The bike itself was worth more than the price stated, not counting the  . . . → Read More: Hello Cervélo!
