Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

Your shiny cogs make me think of a comic I saw years ago. There used to be this comic book about hot rods called cartoons. One of the comics showed this guys shop with super shiny tools and a guy asked him how he kept them that way. He pulls a greasy small tool box and says,"these are what I actually use"

Quick review: First 25 miles yesterday!
OK, the geometry is different, with a longer cockpit and lower crank, and shorter crank arms than I have on the old bike, but that seems to really help my cadence! The lighter weight made more difference than I ever could have imagines and the Deep-V's make the handling crisp and tight!
Acceleration is off the charts after all the miles on a touring bike I've done. I feel like I've gone from a truck to a Ferrari!
In short, I think I'm gonna love this bike!

Great looking Allez, Tom. I've got the 2006 Allez in Red, but I'm liking the black better.
