Nice Moots, I have heard good stuff about Moots from several friends.
A friend of mine, former pro cyclist who has has been in pro level cycle circles for 30 years, was at Interbike East in Providence RI this past week. I asked him to try out a Lynskey or two if he could.
He said:
" They had no Lynskey's at Providence...
I rode a bunch of carbon road bikes and then rode a Moots and it was the best ride of the day."

FINALLY FINISHED! This bike is so fun!
I've got a bunch of high-end rubber coming in tomorrow and at the end of the week. Mud tires, training tires, dry tires and all-around tires.

My new road bike came in today from overseas!!
Question though: The shifting is a bit unsmooth. Are bikes supposed to be tuned out of the box?

Brakes and derailleurs always need some adjusting out of the box, and usually the wheels need a bit of truing.

Don't ride the bike anymore, take it to a shop. Braking on the tire can lead to a blowout and a crash.

To be fair I work at a Specialized, Serotta, Bmc, Ridley etc......shop and I just wait for the end of the year closeouts. I really do not have very much into that Roubaix at all but yea, it is way to nice to be a rain bike..........

After riding 7900 for a little while, I came to the conclusion that if I couldn't get it for a killer deal on a new bike, I would just buy a frameset and put my trusty old 7800 on there.

I am going to hold out for the 8000 series (guessing at the number) I am not real impressed by the 7900 either and to be honest I have yet to ride any group that I prefer over 7800 and that includes Record and Red.
