Father's Day came early

quick back story.

We usually go to Cary and spend a weekend to 'get away from home.' The kids love it. The wife can shop and all in all it's nice to get away once in a while. My youngest daughter had seen a bike that she wanted for her birthday at the local Performance there and we were going to get it for her. On the way there my wife looks at me and says, 'Well you should know. I was going to get it for you but I don't know what size you need, or what pedals and I don't want to get the wrong one."(it's a 3 hour ride to Cary for us). Then she and the girls say, 'Happy Fathers Day!'.

And I came home with this.


Those pedals are from the test ride I took and I got take off the unnecessary stuff as well. My Trek was a 58 and I've always thought it was to big. I got a 56 this time and it feels awesome. I hate that I can't ride the Arione as it's to narrow and I've really got used to riding a cutout saddle so, whatev. newho- specs
