Nice! The bike looks great! Kestrels always look fast even parked at a curb. Love the UCI banned wheels.

Nice. The road version of that looks a lot better than the TT/Tri version. Great choice of wheels, swapped in for the Ovals? 10x cooler, only a bit heavier, and strong like bull!

Thanks! And I agree, it looks weird. Yeah I swapped them, but this is a temporary setup before I order my clinchers. I want to enjoy this look while I have it though!
