I received my French Hutchinson tires for the Sprint (great deal at Bike Nashbar by the way) this afternoon and couldn't wait to put them on. I am anxiously waiting for the rain to stop tomorrow so I can begin the process of making this bike my primary ride this summer.

Here's a photo - http://velospace.org/node/19914 - complete with the Selle Italia SLR gel flow saddle and "vintage" Scott aero bars (good for the trainer work).

Figured time for an update. The bike has gone through a few changes including a Suntour Edge rear derailleur which picks up the slack better than the Simplex SX630 did. Tektro aero levers (more comfortable since they're wider), and a 38t chainring courtesy of Chas. Normally I'm running tubular Mavic GL 330 wheels with Continental Sprinters and a 13-24 freewheel. However, I almost had a sidewall blowout with the rear wheel so I'm going to switch for now to Yellow Jersey Servizio Corso tubular which I have on a few other bikes. For now, the bike is running an 8 spd wheelset with 13-26 gearing courtesy of my dad's Spectrum titanium ride.

By far this is my favorite bike in the stable:
