Had a mini tech day in my garage today. Paul bought some new upgrades for the Fuji so I helped him out with the installs.

Ended with the 2nd Team SL build in 3 weeks for me.

Was super fun teaching Paul how to buils his own rig from the frame up. Even Jon stopped by to try out the trainers.

Weighed in the SLs today... mine tipped the scales at 17.6lbs and Paul's came in at 18.5lbs. The scale was off by .75lbs. So the weights posted are corrected for the scale being off.

Either way the first long ride with my SL was awesome 22miles and a 17mph avg.

That'd be an awesome way to spend a Sat. I haven't done that since I went mountain biking at home.
