Spin With Survivors – WNYWP Fundraiser

During the month of January, Western New York Wellness will be hosting their 3rd annual “Spin with the Survivors” Virtual Spin Tour and Fundraiser (www.wnywp.org), which focuses on bringing maximum visibility to the fight against cancer. Centered on cycling, the Western New York Wellness Program makes available FREE indoor and outdoor cycling services to all cancer survivors in the Rochester, New York and surrounding areas.

I cannot tell you how much this group has helped me since I became a member in 2006. This December 31st will mark 5 years that I have been cancer free. I credit this group with keeping me active and healthy.

Please help in this fundraising event with your generous pledge. We all know someone touched by cancer. The money that you pledge will contribute to funding the FREE physical activity programs offered by Western New York including:

- weekly outdoor bike rides (during the summer)
- weekly indoor spin classes (during the winter)
- outreach and education programs
- walking program for those just emerging from treatment and are not yet able to ride
- gym membership grants

The “Spin with the Survivors” event also provides a unique opportunity for all to help. This is our chance to help directly and in that spirit, I’ve chosen to Spin with the Survivors, and ask that you support me, remembering that your donations are tax-deductible.

Step 1: go to http://www.wnywp.org/spin_about.htm
Step 2: Select the a name (Shannon Case) from the drop down list.

Neuvation F100

So after much research …  I have opted to buy my new bike from Neuvation Cycling.

I have been looking to replace my 2003 Giant OCR3 for the last 2 years now. So this decision has been two years in the making. Since this is the last bike I will probably buy for a long, long time I wanted to make sure I got the components I wanted and wasn’t just settling for something one step up from what I have now (Shimano Sora).

So this is what I have decided on:

Neuvation Cycling Alloy

  • Size: 61cm
  • Fork: Neuvation FK100 Carbon Fork w/ Alloy Steerer
  • Group Set: Sram Force
    • Sram Force Shifters
    • Sram Force Crank (34×50)
    • Enduro Ceramic Bottom Bracket
    • Sram Force Brake Calipers
    • Sram Force Front Derailleur
    • Sram Force Rear Derailleur
    • Sram 1070 Cassette 10 Speed (11×26)
    • Sram Standard PC-1070 Chain
  • M28 Aero3 Wheels w/Ceramic Bearings
  • Stem: Neuvation ST173 (100mm 73 Degree)
  • Handlebars: Neuvation HB100 (6061 31.8 440mm)
  • Aero Seat Post 27.2×350
  • Saddle: Neuvation S3
  • Tires: Michelin Pro Race3 Black & Gray (23)

The bike arrived yesterday and I think it is gorgeous! The photo of the assembled bike did not have the seat adjusted yet. I don’t really ride with the seat that high. :)

I have not gotten out to ride it yet. I could not seem to get my old Look pedals off of my old bike. Luckily Tyler said he had an old set of Look pedals I could have. So if the weather is nice I will take it out for a spin.

I will post again and give my thoughts of the overall feel of the bike and the Sram Force components.
