Not saying another word until it officially arrives (hopefully today), in fear of jinxing it. But, stay tuned to this thread for pics...


And here she is! Quite a beauty huh?

I'm guessing whatever it is won't arrive on a Sunday, but is this a new BIKE? After what's now known by those who witnessed it as "The Ergomo Incident?"

First BD has all of BF wringing their hands over his pending marriage detonating over a friggin Power Meter, then he goes out and implies that he has a whole new bicycle.

You ARE totally inscutible BD. I like it.
