I got the Scott Addict Bike back from the shop today. Took it up Old La Honda for some speed work and it rode really well. I cant really feel much difference between the Addict and the CR1 at this point, but I only got a short ride in. I am borrowing some Easton EC90 Aero wheels and they were pretty smooth. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the wheels worked fine on my Campy Scott bike even though they were set up with a Shimano cassette without any adjustment. If I were to get these wheels, I could use them on the Cervelo P2C. If the price is right, I might pick them up. They are tubulars and I would not consider them to be an every day wheel, but they would come in handy for the Aero bike as well as the Scott or Time bike on rolling terrrains and maybe some longer climbs. The guy in the shop claims they make a good climbing wheel as well, but who knows. I have a ways to go as I suffered up OLH in 22:30 taking 4 1 minute breaks every 4 minutes. My idea was to break the climb up in to 5 chunks and break 20 minutes, but I could not pull it off even with the nice new bike. I was suffering pretty badly even with the breaks. I liked this workout as it gives you a little chance to recover making it slightly more bearable. It might be a way to finally crack 20, but its a ways away for me still.
