Sorry for yet another new bike thread, but had to show off :)

It's smooth, extremely quiet, stiff and fast. 105 all around, carbon front fork. I've put about 40 miles on it and my body is disabled. (I hadn't ridden a bike in a long time.)

Thanks to everyone who helped me when I was shopping for a bike.

You shouldn't ever have to apologise for showing off a new bike. :)

It looks pretty sweet. I like how the saddle matches everything. Is that a Selle Italia saddle? I didn't know they came in that colour of stitching.

Thanks! :)

khuon, yeah, the saddle is a Selle Italia XO, and does come in those colors. :) I'm pondering replacing the saddle. I've had my eyes on a Selle Italia SLR for a while.

The Terminator, the handlebars are generic Felt. I'm not sure what you mean by 'speed.'

I also flipped the stem. The original setup had the bars setup higher, because when the stem is flipped it points up at a sharper angle. It's a bit lower now, which i like better.

Nice bike, I have the F65 too. The price was great and it looks sweet too. I love mine after about 200 miles. Your purchase shows how smart and stylish you are.
