Pearl Izumi Elite Thermal Cycling Tight - Women's
November 25, 2009
These will be pretty toasty. I would recommend going with a lighter weight tight. Something like this:
http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/CW-X-Performx-Tight-W
I wear these normal tights over my cycling shorts so I get the warmth of the tights and the chamois padding from the shorts.
You could also look into leg warmers. They are nice for those chilly mornings but then can come off quickly once the sun is out and your body heats up from exercising.
I hope that helps.

Zipp Speed Weaponry 404 Wheelset - Clydesdale - 2009
November 16, 2009
The dish width of the rim. The 808's have a larger aerodynamic rim so they cut the wind a little better. If you are mostly riding roads and not competing where seconds matter the 404's will be great. The 808's will be great if you are doing triathlons or road races where seconds count. They will also be a little stiffer if you are a heavier guy. Same great hubs and spokes just different widths. Hope that helps, these wheels are amazing.

I contacted Litespeed and they have not had any of the cross bikes come back with hanger problems. They have really beefed up the Ti in the hanger area and it is very strong. If you do crash hard and bend it the Ti is malleable enough that you can bend it back with out fear of cracking. It takes a lot of force to bend it either way. You shouldn't have any problems with it.

I would recommend going with the 54. It has a true 54cm top tube but a smaller seat tube at 53, you will hear some people say size down in cross bikes but it all depends on the geometry of that specific bike. Cross bikes have a slightly lower bottom bracket so they can seem a little bigger but with that 53 seat tube you should be good to go. You may need to try a few stem lengths to get the best feel but you will love this bike. One of the best materials ever for a cross bike. Hope that helps.

Reynolds does not put weight limits on most of their wheels but the heavier riders will cause the wheels to flex more. They recommend a spoke count of 20/24 (which these have) for over 190 lbs. So you will be fine. You may have to true them a little more often but they will keep you up and stand up to the abuse.
