Dad Bod Racing Team

Looks like I’ll be heading home from this business trip with a suitcase full of new upgrades!

The Fuji road bike came from the factory with a hodgepodge of parts, so I’m excited to move it all to the ultimate rim brake set with Shimano DuraAce!

Also picked up an Easton EA 90 SL carbon crankset, to replace the aged and heavy FSA Omega that’s currently on there.

Based on weight savings, this bike should be nearly 4 lbs lighter after the Carbon Wheels, TPU likes, and upgraded mechanicals!

An amazing little trek today with Three Rivers Velo Sport.

Faster time I’ve experienced now with the added SuperTeam carbon wheel set.

Recently picked up some Superteam Carbon Wheels for the Fuji, and as a budget minded rider, these have been an amazing investment.

Multiple PR’s today, nearly a full 1.1 mph faster average (despite having to reroute through neighborhoods due to road closures) and better watt returns with minimal heart rate increases!

Been a busy week of rides, with nearly 125 miles this last week including a ~44 mile ride on Sunday!

Sometimes you have to wax philosophic about an old bike.

What’s that one bike you still love today?
