I just picked up my CR1 Team on Thursday and got it out for it's first real ride today. I have not been on a bike since the end of May when I was hit except for the test rides I did and the ride I took it on when I picked it up.

I really like the bike. I'm sure the more I ride it the more I will come to enjoy it. The frame is plenty stiff for me and yet the buzz of the chip seal is very muted. The new 105 works just fine and looks much better than the old 105. I really like what they did with the hood shape and the width of the hoods where they meet the bars. Nice transition and a bit wider I think...very comfy.

I do believe the RD hanger on the new CR1's are replaceable and I'll also be finding out just how well they treat their customers. I gave the bike a pretty good look over but when I got it home found about a 1" long scratch/chip down the front of the head tube. I sent pictures to the bike shop and they sounded pretty confident that I could get a replacement. I'm counting on that. Total with tax was right around 2100.00 so I expect a bike without damage.

So far the bike shop has treated me really well so we'll see what happens.
