first road bike ever. and to say the least, im hooked. its takes alot more focus than i imagined. anyways, heres my bike a 1997 look kg171 team edition with campy chorus and a tad bit of athena. not a smige of shimano anywhere on it. even the cables are campy. smooth as butter. ive ridden a aluminum road bike and this rides soooo much smoother. heres a pic

its aluminum lugged carbon, really sweet ride.

lol well the only fish to survive the last holocaust (i spilled some antacids in the tank) was the plecostumus. i havent had the money to spend another 50$ on more chiclids so i figure "hey why clean it, im sure he likes it like that" poor little thing, i dont think he can keep up with it.

it didnt cost me anything, i traded my mt bike for it a 2002 kona stuff with a few upgrades

Nice ride! And you're gonna love that Koski contour saddle. NOT! I have one just like it and hate it. Like riding on a board.
Really is a nice bike though. Have you ridden that saddle much yet?

i wasnt going to say anything but...that thing is horrible, i dont understand why anyone would buy it. is it light? after 10 miles i would have given 300$ for anything but that, even a slr (actually the slr is pretty comfy). so yes, the thing strait up sucks.

What kind of cichlids did you keep? I'm a bit of a fish enthusiast myself :) (Also a very expensive hobby once it takes hold :eek:. I guess they were dwarf since a 29 gallon is too small for more than a mated pair of medium sized cichlids. Well concerning bikes... I really like your bike!
