You're in Chicago? Wanna ride sometime?

Yeah, I'm in Chicago and would love to join a ride sometime. I upgraded from a 2003 Marin Portofino steel frame with Shimano Sora---the ride difference is stiffer and more aerodynamic---partly because the Marin is both to tall and too short in length for me. Last year I put about three thousand miles on the Marin (which is about to lose its derailleurs and become a poor man's single speed). The double tap SRAM is a big improvement on nine year old Sora. Weirdest difference was feeling the crosswind through the bladed spokes.
I like Look.
The saddle bag is that size to make my ass look smaller.

Old school LOOK-style Shimano pedals?

If those are PD-7401, they'll last a lifetime.

What did you upgrade from? Any differences in ride quality?
