Loves to pedal, and the cornering is amazing, even just playing around on the street. It feels like a smaller, poppier version of the V10 which is exactly what I wanted. So here it is...

Is that a Blur LT? It's pretty sweet looking. What's up with the stem lowered down on the steerer tube?

Tomorrow will be the first real ride...I'll try and get some good shots. Hopefully that'll keep you from trying to touch!
