Picked up a new/old bike for training/climbing since i have a couple races coming up with 3000 ft climbs and the Tri bike just is not geared for it. It's an 05 Specialized E5 S-Works with Full Dura Ace and a Deda stem. Also got an extra set of wheels (KSyrium Elite wheels). All this for $1500. With keo carbons clips, weighed in at 15.5lbs. What a steal! here are some pictures with the crappy wheels.

came from mountain biking also but the speed is more exciting.. Used to have a Cannodale F2000SL hardtail and a Santa Cruz Blur softtail with full XTRs and a lot of extras..

Looks good Josh. Love the Dura Ace. Hard to argue at that price, especially with extra wheels. How do you plan to carry it, on the 335 or another vehicle?

I still have the 5200 OCLV, and will ride it this summer, but I ordered a new bike early January and it is being built now. I expect it in mid March, and will post pictures then. Something a little different. Trying to decide on pedals now (not much else to do while I wait). Looked at the Crank Brothers, but I think I will go with the new XTR 970 pedals, as I need a shoe/cleat that is walkable for this bike.

we have a roof rack on the S4 Avant. I can also just throw it in the trunk which is much more convenient. I do like the crank brothers pedals. Congrats on the new bike!
