Jonathan: That is the classiest Riv I've seen in a long time! What a lovely bike! Wood rims, tubulars and Revolutions! And a wide range TA Pro 5 Vis!
Please explain: what is the big ring, and what are the cogs? How is braking on wood? Do you need special pads? Are those toe straps set up a la Powergrips? I've wanted to try tubulars, but with goatheads out here so evilly common, it just doesn't make sense. I remember Nashbar, sometime within the last 10 years, blowing out what must have been a really old, **old** stock of wood rims -- I was tempted.
