Trust me....it wasn't disposable income. It was an INCREDIBLE deal....as in, so incredible if i wanted to sell it today, I'd make 300 more than I paid for it.

Anyway, can someone recommend some good water-resistant booties? I'm getting new shoes soon and I want to baby them.
Also, tips for 1st time clipless?

Picked this up a little over a year and a half ago...Found it on craigslist for a fairly good deal I guess...
Craigslist FTW!! 
Did the R2CC this past June on this...noticed that it was definitely not as fast as a true road bike (this is a Cyclocross bike, overall heavier, bigger rims, larger tires etc...) as i kept getting passed by all these people on road bikes...Then I realized it was actually just me when I started noticing older 60 year old cancer survivors passing me on their mountain bikes hahahaha

Just recently started training on a Kurt Kinetic indoor trainer using my Kona. Converted the rear tire into a slick for this purpose.
Need to get my back into shape after getting rear-ended in 2008. Hoping to re-build my cardio and muscles so I can start doing some more riding on the seawall etc. Looking for a bike at the moment but nothing in mind.
Edit: Rode my Fuji Absolute 1.0 in Los Angeles but may have to leave it there for the interim. Hopefully something good pops up on Craigslist soon.

Anyone doing the grand fondo whistler??? I am thinking of trying it out this year.. it would be my first long ride EVER... Does anyone have any past experiences with it?? Should I join with a group of friends and ride as a pack? Does it make a huge difference?
I am also looking for shoes.. anyone got some recommendations.. Currently riding on a brodie romulus..

I'm currently using the Sidi Design Nevada. It's a budget/entry-level Sidi that has provisions for cleats. I'm not doing anything crazy like triathalons or marathons but for $75 USD, so far it has been well worth the money.

Cool thread!
Here's my current pair of rides. Knolly Podium @ 38lbs, and my beater, a Transition Bottlerocket. 
In 2011 I had a few more that I bought, rode, sold.
Jamis Parker 
Norco Team DH 
Norco Sasquatch 
Knolly Delirium T
2010 had me riding a Kona Stinky 
2002-2005 I was racing this in the Test of Metal.  Quote:
