nice, horrible music.

Nice race. You looked boxed in for a moment, then you had those two guys go. Thanks for the vid!

is #112 (red jersey, yellow tires, around 4:00) riding Spinergy REV X?

[SprinterDellaCasa]

@nwvtskiboy I think that guy is riding a full retro bike, if you can call the mid 90s retro. My higher def "proof" isn't clear but it looks like RevX wheels.

[SprinterDellaCasa]

Thanks!

The music is by the band Linus (NYC), "Mysterio". Song is by my bro's band, with my bro Gene (guitar), Derek (guitar and vocal), and drums I forget his name. I think it's 3 guys. That was the demo take, there's a more polished non-demo. If you want the clips are for everyone to enjoy - mp3?

The other songs are my bros too, the second song is from about 1989 with a 16 year old drummer heh.

I use my bro's songs since I have permission, and I like them too.

Yeh, I really enjoyed the music, although I guess Mysterio was my favorite. Really went well with video. If the mp3s are out there to download, could you post a link or tell us where we could get them? That would be awesome. Thanks.

@SprinterDellaCasa

Checked out your videos again, riding to work made me think of them. Still love the music too. Btw, is this your brother's band - linusnyc.com ? They sound a bit different though. Just wondering. :)

[SprinterDellaCasa]

@thefattux That must be a different Linus :) The band is kind of on hold as the guys haven't been playing too much. No real sites for any of them either, unfortunately. Some of the bands date back 15-20 years.

Nice video! What's the music? (Particularly the track up to around 4:30)

[Nawlins5]

Videos getting better all the time! Love the bar cam as well.

[SprinterDellaCasa]

thanks. Bar cam is Rich, he lent it to me so I could include it in my clip. Was interesting to say the least - I've never seen myself from another racer's point of view.

[SprinterDellaCasa]

Cannondale is very nice. Compared to my Giant TCR (older one), much more responsive in corners, more stable at 45+ mph, lighter (with same wheels/tires, bar, stem, post, shifters, der, housing, pedals, heavier cassette/seat it's -2 lbs). I can even race with DLGs on the bike.

Also comfy for 4-5-6+ hour rides.

[glooer]

Yeah I guess the Giant model is older, so is hard to keep up with the new Cannondale.

[SprinterDellaCasa]

lol. Giant is not bad. It's about 1.5 pounds heavier, and I have the same bars, stem, post, seat. I guess it's in the frame, fork, and who knows what else.

[glooer]

You ride a Cannondale now? How is it?

[yaniel87]

great video! I'm dying to try a crit.
