Sunday I rode the 100k in the Giro Di Peninsula. First I'll tall about how my bike did, then I'll talk about how I did.
My Tirreno Razza 900 did pretty well. After about 50 miles the pedals started making some unpleasant noises. The scratching sound from my rear axle didn't get any worse. I noticed a chip in my carbon fork, and it's clear that the Isis platinum bottom bracket won't last too long. I'll need to get the MegaQuad bottom bracket.
I guess it is just dirty. I'll need to clean and lube the pedals, I'm a little worried about the chip in the fork since I have heard that damaged carbon forks are suspect, but maybe that was only the old forks.
As far as me. I am stronger than I thought I was, but not as strong as I'd like to be.

Good choice with the Tirreno Razza, I am sure you are having a good time with it. The bike has many good components, at least mine came with Shimano 105, compact crank with a 11-23 cassette. For those who have not heard, Tirreno is made by Performance Bike as one of their alumnimum frames lineup. Its an unknown bike to other people's eyes, if you have one better get used to the offensive brandless looks of others. The frame is under-rated, mine has more than 3,000 miles so far, it has seen rain, sunshine, mud, seen a few minor crashes and it is still in one piece. My main satisfaction is attacking cyclists on long climbs, those with the Colnagos and OCLVs. They know who they are!
