I thought it was really weird that I couldn't get anyone to sell me the bike so I went down to the local performance store and got this one instead.
I went to Performance and got a great bike, with better components at a better price.
And, yes, I will post it here someday!

This is what I meant.
If you meant that with bullhorns the brake levers would never be as low, then I agree.

Managed to score a killer deal on Dura Ace drivetrain bits, so here she is, updated for this season. Still early in the season, so I'm still logging time on the fixie as well:

Yes, I am. I'll be moving to Vermont in the fall for my Masters and will likely end up eBay'ing a CAAD 8 or 9 in 52 or 50.

Hello all - newbie here. I have 5 Bianchis (So you all hate me already!)
A pair of XL-EV2s both with Record & Neutrons, one in Mercatone Uno colours, one a replica of Pantani's 2000 Tour De France frame (with a 39x29 lowest ratio for pretending I'm good uphill!), a titanium S9 Matta (replica of Backstedt's Paris Roubaix winning frame from 2004) with Record triple, Ksyrium ES wheels, Tune seatpost & stem, Nokon cables and a Brooks swallow saddle, a Mega Pro L with Ksyriums and Daytona for bad weather and an Auto-Milano for commuting to work. Pista to come!
