You have a very nice quiver of bikes. How do you like those Bora Tubulars. Living in Mass., do you actually do training rides with those or do you find yourself riding with clinchers. The Time and the Colnago are sweet. The FP8 aint bad . I am partial to Pinarello's myself!

Use the Bora's year round. There's nothing as responsive as a good tubular tire on a lightweight wheel like the Bora or the Campy Hyperon. I used both in the Alps for a week and then chose the Hyperons for the Etape. They handle wind better, but more importantly, they descend faster and are better handling at high speeds.
Still pondering the speed difference, but I assume that the high profile rims have more drag at high speeds and are less effective once you go beyond say 35-40kph. The difference was pretty dramatic.
