Don't need the pads. Need the plastic plates that the pads attach to, though the pads you show are for the metal plates. The plastic plates are curved circular plates. I've contacted Profile directly, gone through bike shops and wholesellers to try to get the plates from them but they don't respond so I decided to make my own. Thanks though.

Yep, the aerobar I ordered has round plates and pads. Those odd shaped ones would feel strange, I think.

I had a an 18' x 25' storage building built on a slab in my back yard for a reason. Lots of room for spare parts...

Well folks after 2 days of testing riding a Catrike 700 this afternoon I rode it(in the rain) from home to Bonzai CycleWerx and paid for it.  Yep, I now own a Black 2014 700.  Never really thought I would own one of these but after reading and listening to all the rage I just had to go try it for myself and now understand why people fall in love with them.  The 700 will not be a replacement to my high racer but will compliment on days i just feel like riding something different.  I also plan to do 100k rando rides on it and plan to start that on Sunday morning, who knows there could be a 200k in the future for it as well.

Congratulations. Talked to a rider, today, that has a black one on order. Wonder if the 700 is currently one of Catrike's top selling trikes?

Forgive me RBENT, for I have sinned...I have added a new bike to the stable, but it is not bent.

 
This followed me home this evening.  I found I am able to ride a DF again, and added one to the collection.  After a couple rides on a Giant OCR and being a lot faster on hills, I could not resist its siren call.  And being able to hold up a complete bike, one handed, sure is nice.
 
Oh I still have my Giro, at least until an Encore comes along in the budget.  But there is a certain joy in a new road bike, even if it is DF! Wink

Nice to see you were able to reunite the happy couple. I thought strange circumstances and stranger people had forever doomed their reconciliation.

Yeah the guy was one weird douche.  Didn't trust him a bit.   But I have a friend in Detroit who arranged to pick it up in person.  Even more lucky, she mailed it through her corporate account and it only cost 15 bucks.

Greg!!! You bringing that speed demon on a St Pete N ride when visiting the area in a couple of weeks?
 
When I can get 2-3 of the fast guys in the area to rotate behind me we'll average 27-28. That's a fair amount of turns but not too many stops (usually less than 15 stops) but launches are hard until they pop their chutes. Sometimes it's faster when I'm by myself and don't have to slow down for them. Only two sprint zones and as long as I pull them pretty hard we keep the sprints down to the low 30's.
 
I usually warm up for the ride by doing the 19+ mile ride down there rolling about 26-28 most of the time. Even with all of the stops and slowing for traffic, etc. I made it down there this morning in 50 minutes flat (23.1mph avg - faster than you can get there by car in normal traffic) so was cranking it fairly hard.
 
And you need to ride down to Ft Desoto with me and do some moderate intervals in the wind. Sit it on 300 watts for some 3 mile pulls and have you hang on like you used to do! :^)  A few of us do that on Tuesday mornings.
