Went with a 10 Scott Team... can't wait. I also went with look keo classic peals (debating on whether to get the Speedplay lights instead), Shimano RO77 shoes, and still have to get a helmet, shorts, jersey (off line since I'll need a bigger size than they probably carry). After I get it fitted and back home, I'll post some pictures.

Here she is, I think I would have preferred the matted red finish instead of the glossy, but other than that I can't wait to get out there. When they did the fitting, that was my first time using the pedals and shoes... I'm scared, lol... jk... kinda. Anyways, hope we develop a great relationship.

Im on my second set of Keo's and I love them. Don't worry, you'll get used to them. Nice that they had the red ones to fit with your bike.

Very nice bike :)

As somebody on this foriun so eloquently instructed me when I posted my first bike pic "get rid of the dork disk" - ;) the black plactic thingy on the backwheel. Mine cut off easily with a boxcutter knife.
