Hey, it's a Blue! Just like mine!
Only it's a CF frame (mine is just fork/stays) has a DA SRM (I have DA and a PT Pro) and Q rings (I have nancy-boy 53-39 standard rings).

They have a better following for TT and Triathlon. Some people swear by them and others pass readily as a gimick. It is basically a try it for yourself and see.

i agree with you in principle, however. i am fortunate enough to live less than 2 miles from campus so i drive my car only when i go visit my folks in the country. very liberating not having a car, kinda like when you go to a foreign country and your cell phone doesn't work.
