My Dream Bike is now Reality

As many of you know I had my heart set on a Look 585. As things turned out I was unable to get it for what I wanted so I passed on it and bought a Look KG381. Well, as luck would have it, today I won a Look 585 on ebay. The best part is I got it for less then I was hoping for. Now I have to decide what Im gonna do with the KG381. I really love the ride and performance of the bike, so I may end up keeping it. Anyway I should have it built in a week and a half. Here's the one I got.



Cant wait to get her done and ride her like I stole her.

I think it would be a great idea to donate one of the frames to a poor underprivileged child. I was born a poor child from the ghetto!
