I think the official name is Big Boy. Got bigger tires, stem extender to be a little more upright until i want to go more aggressive, changed the grips to fit my big bear paws and the seat for my big bear ...

Lol. Sorry, I was taking about me! Going to start training for a big ride next June. Scared about it, actually. Also gets me closer to two bucket list items: doing a food and wine cycling tour of Tuscany and riding down that volcano in Hawaii after watching sunrise.
Awesome that you are going to get out there and ride dude.
If you have any questions, hit me up!

I really appreciate that, WE. I will and keep everyone posted about progress.
Just riding around the block a few times made me happy, even if my slow speed maneuvering isn't quite what our used to be!

Just remember the great quote from Greg Lemond... "It doesn't get easier, you just get faster."

I've been really partial to Look Keos. I used Shimano SPD SL pedals for years, but like the Keo setup a lot more. Good size platform and a way easier cleat to walk on.

Bike tires direct is usually pretty good if you don't have a good hookup through a local shop. I've been putting maxxis detonators on my wife's bike for the last couple of years. They hold up well and run around $30 if I remember right. I've been running continental gatorskins for the last 4 or 5 years. They're expensive, but they last forever, almost never puncture and they have an awesome feel. When I was racing and training a ton, I always ran Michelin Pro Race which felt incredible, but lasted about 1000 miles at best. The gatorskins give me most of that race tire feel but are bullet proof at the same time.

Continental Gatorskins. Worth every penny, too.

I love cycling and actually rebuild and refurbish vintage bicycles as a hobby. The wife is after me to downsize, but I still have about a half dozen or so around. Here's a couple of them: 1958 Raleigh Four Speed, 1950 Columbia balloon tire cruiser, and 1936 Schwinn Henderson balloon tire cruiser.

I think Speedplays have no equal, esp in ease of engaging them.
This time next week I will be in Vegas for InterBike.
Cant freaking wait.

Heading down to Santa Rosa, California for Levi's Gran Fondo tomorrow. Here's what the very hilly ride looks like.
Looks incredible!
I'm heading across Florida for a big ride, 220 miles in 2 days.
