Now that's a bike! Not a penis curve shaped fork or stay to be found anywhere.

Wow that's a nice looking bike. I can only imagine your ear-to-ear grin on her maiden voyage.

What were you riding before? I've never ridden that frame but I've heard they're good and stiff. With those wheels it should feel pretty tight, non?

Great bike! I love the black and red, and the red tape.

I'm guessing you had another bike to ride in the meantime. I could never wait that long without a bike. I recently built a bike from various internet parts suppliers. Ordered all the parts over 2 days and had it built within a week. Then I sold my previous ride.

Nice bike. I'm sure you'll have some great times riding it. I've got over 12K miles on my SLT, and it's been an awesome, dependable machine. One thing: get used to people staring at the bike and asking all sorts of questions about it. There were a couple of kids at my race last night who must have been checking out my bike for 10 minutes.

One part I had to wait 2 weeks (CF front derailleur clamp) see pic below. Plus I was in no hurry since I was using another bike. It was a long wait but worth it.
