Di2 Builds new shoes and the Giro

well 9 days left until the 2011 Giro gets underway and it's going to be a biggy. This will be the 150th anniversary of the Giro and im sure the Italians will be looking for a home win and fingers crossed Vincenzo will have the stuff to do it. As a rider he has matured a lot it seems over the last few seasons and you never know this could be his time but if it is or isn't one thing is guaranteed, with the likes of Contador and Menchov wanting a nice shiny cup and Mount Etna it's going to be seriously exciting.
The likes of Basso and Evans will be missed after last years battles but the line up so far looks strong across the board so it should be good viewing on the old Eurosport and if anyone fancies dragging me along for free around the 15th of May let me know.

Now these last few weeks we have gone a little Di2 crazy it seems with quite a few custom builds rolling out the door which has been very nice and there are still a few in the pipeline so lot's to come on all of those shortly and also Electronic Ultegra, yes it's real being launched at the Tour de France and supposedly available from August. I have had rough prices and specs but ROUGH these will probably change over the next few months but lets say 50% of Di2 for now "bargain" you say, wait to here the full spec first and it is cheaper for a reason but all shall become clear.

Nice to see Rabottini grab a victory today in Turkey on his Cipo and i have to say i always had Turkey down as a bleak place to go but after the coverage on Eurosport i must admit it looks bloody lovely so ill add it to the must go to list.
The Cipollini booth is coming along nicely and there is even word of a £3k frame-set for 2012 with std seat post to make life a little easier and we are also due our demo RB100 shortly so a true reflection of the ride quality to come asap.

Lastly new shoes, i was going to wait and see what Sidi offered in a mega fit for 2012 to see if i could buy anything top end,ish colour wise etc but i couldn't wait and my current Northwaves have lasted 2 seasons and been great so i grabbed another pair which feel even more comfortable and as far as shoe prices go for a top end model they are cheap and for us wide footed freaks super comfy.

Well that's about it for tonight as im pooped and still need to watch the rest of fight club again for like the 50th time as it's just great.
