Road to CDA 06: Core
Fri 3/31
core work (pilates abs/low back) 6am.
pm. off. J Foland worked an hour on my soleus. Still sore, but slightly better.
Discovered cracks on carbon Guru yesterday. Cyclepath promptly tore down a Scott Plasma pro TT carbon bike and switched all my Guru components over.
Picked up the Scott this morning. Nice frame. I like the water bottle cages on the triangle. Guru with only one cage holder on the triangle required reaching around the back of the seat. Additionally, the scott built out with training wheels is 17.8 lbs, while my Guru was 18.2. With racing wheels my Guru was 16.9 so I am sure the Scott will be around 16.5...pretty light for a TT bike. All my components are ridiculously light too which helps.
So anyway...it looks like I will be racing on a Scott. I love the Guru, but the massive difference in price (almost double) doesnt justify an pretty frame that is 0.4 lbs heavier...with only one bottle cage on the frame. I think I'll like the new frame.
