New bike, not new cyclist.....

Hey all,

I've been registered for a long time. Don't remember posting or introducing myself before.

BUT. I just bought a new bike.............good karma to be had.

Riding 29 years,.......since 19.

Trek 420 (?) partially upgraded to Sun Tour Superbe Pro.........if i remember correctly
Tomasso SL, Campy Victory Corsa
CAAD 3, Ultegra.............rode this one a long time......great bike, but stiff

and i just bought a new Ridley Orion, partial Ultegra from Performance. it should be my avatar, if i did it right.


Now if the rain and wind would die down a little.......

Thanks guys.

going from the CAAD 3 to this carbon fibre bike...........wow. It really makes a difference, so much smoother ride, yet still stiff and racy....

the feelings are coming back, legs are talking to me.............

Cheers.
