Thanks a mucho

Swamis,

Just a quick reminder that the membership meeting is tonight from 7 to 9 at the
Carlsbad Dove Library - 1775 Dove Ln.

Since we will be discussing club governance and financiials the meeting will be
limited to Swamis members only (2009 and 2010).

We look forward to an informative and productive meeting.

I had a chance to ride mountain bikes with, and have dinner with Joe Parkin in
Austin, TX last Friday.  He is the author of a book called, A Dog in a Hat.  If
the book is half as interesting as the author, it is a must read….

Joe spent 6 years as a pro cyclist racing in Belgium and his book is sort of a
"tell all" about the pro cycling scene in Europe.

I have ordered a copy.  It is about $15 at Amazon.

In order to finance my next season racing wheels I am selling my wife and
daughter's bikes :)

Swamis,

I hate to do it, but it just makes sense to sell the road bike I spent so much
time and energy (and money) building.  The bike is a 2009 Specialized S-Works
Tarmac SL2.  Simply put, it's an amazing road machine.  And did I mention that
it weighs 13.52 pounds with clincher wheels, pedals, two bottle cages, and a
computer?  Not bad, huh?  :-)

The size is 56cm - detailed geometry specs can be found on the Specialized site.

More information about my bike including a detailed parts list and photos (and
pricing) can be found here: 
http://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/bik/1465650784.html

I spent over $8000 building this bike and was only able to ride it 26 miles. 
More than half the parts are new - 0 miles.  I'm asking $4600 and will consider
reasonable offers.

I am definitely willing to work with a fellow Swami if there's any interest ...
I'd love to see the bike get ridden locally.

Feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions:  btorio@...

Thanks.

Brian

Swamis ~ This Sun will be our monthly ride out to San O, so bring your Id.

Ride on, Masters Czar TT....

I am looking for an SRM.  I just need the meter itself preferable, specialized
BB30.

I still have a couple things for sale,

Specialized 143 TriTip saddle brand new never mounted or used, white.

Profile CX3 Aero Bars, brand new, never mounted or used.

Make offers on both.

Thanks,
Matt Bigos

Gurus-
I need a recommendation for a really good surfboard repair shop.

Thanks,

Chris Daggs

gurus,
it has been a pleasure to ride for Swamis' this past year. In my short time as a
Swami I have represented the club in 6 countries on 2 continents, received great
advice, numerous lifts and at least one couch to sleep on from Swamis and FOS,
been laughed at by French people for looking like a smurf, felt welcome a long
way from home been on some great rides and felt proud to wear your kit.

Next year sees the beggining of a new adventure for me; i'm going to be riding
for team type 1 - this team obviously makes great sense for mea dn is a move up
in the cycling world. After this season taking a long time to get going and
having a few setbacks a long the way i am excited to see what i can achieve with
this set up next year.

I would particularly like to thank Chris Daggs and Kam who have both given me
valuable advice when i wasn't feeling all that positive about bicycle racing at
points this year. Turns out they were right and things have turned out fine!

I'll see you on the road
James

FS: Zipp 404 carbon tubular wheelset.

These wheels will be a great deal for some luck buyer. Handbuilt by Matt @ B &
L. Deep carbon aero rims. The rims are old, but have been updated with new
decals (these are genuine Zipp rims). Both wheels are in great shape with no
cracks or dings. The rear rim is old and has some dimpling caused by spoke
tension, but I have never had problems with it; Matt says it's fine. Since it's
an older rim and a bit heavier than the newer rims it's probably more durable!
Here are the specs:

Front:
American Classic Micro superlight front hub with cartridge bearings (recently
overhauled - super smooth) 16 hole
16 Sapim CX-Ray lightweight black aero spokes with alloy nipples
Zipp 404 tubular rim

Rear:
Dura Ace 7700 rear cassette freehub 24 hole
24 Sapim CX-Ray lightweight black aero spokes with alloy nipples
Zipp 404 tubular rim

I will include 2 Continental tubular tires (they are used but in usable
condition. The front wheel has a tire glued on but the rear will need to be
glued), a wheel bag that fits both wheels, an 11-23 Shimano 10 speed cogset, and
a set of carbon brake pads.

This is a great deal for someone looking for carbon race wheels and they don't
want to spend $2000!!!

$850.00 cash or Paypal preferred.

Thanks for looking!

Gurus,

Some great news! The 2009 tax credit of $8000 for home buyers has been extended
into 2010. If you are in the market to buy a home, whether you are a First Time
Home buyer or someone who has owned and looking to buy again, this affects you.
I thought this was worthwhile information for you to know about.

I put together a small table in the attachment that compares the 2009 initiative
with the new 2010 initiative.

Hope you enjoy the information.

John Abate
