What does everyone think? The bike is 6 months old and only has 500 miles on it. I think I made a hell of a steal on this bike. When it arrives I'm probably gonna slap on some LOOK CX6 or LOOK A5.1. They should go nicely with the Diadora shoes that I am probably getting.

Looks like you got a good deal. Supergo sells those bikes and they had them a year ago for $1295 (I think....I often make mistakes). I've seen a few people out on them and everyone I've asked really likes it. It's great value for money, even if purchased new for full price.

That's a "banging" color!! I am refurbishing an '89 lugged steel Trek and a '98 Serotta and think I have to paint one of them that bright red.

Looks like a great ride. Have fun!!

Ive got the scattante cfr carbon bike which is basically your bike but with a carbon frame. Scattante makes a great bike. Ive had mine for 2 months now and no problems. The wheels are the same too, they hold up to a lot of abuse. Let us know how that oh so sweet first ride goes!

Great looking bike!

I just ordered my new bike and I feel like a kid a Christmas because I can hardly wait to get it!

I've got a picture but it's just of the frame. http://www.getawaybikes.com/uploads/productimage/large/848.jpg

It's a 56 cm. Ti Frame (3AL-2.5V) and these are the components:

Tommaso carbon fork with carbon cap
Carbon seat post
Cane Creek I6/CC integrated headset
Shimano Dura Ace components. (Derailleur (3x9, 12-25), brakes, chain, 175 crank, flight deck shifters, etc.)
Deda Magic 31.8, 46cm aero bar
Deda Magic 31.8, 130mm stem
Neuvation M28 Aero wheels (awesome company!)
Continental GP3000 700X23 tires
Selle Italia gel saddle
Cinelli cork tape

$2000.00 including shipping. As soon as I get it I'll get a picture up on the "new bikes" thread. The worst part of it is that I'll have to ride the rollers until spring!
