Great job, first timers!!!!!!

Today's commute was really nice. 45F, cloudless sky, sun peeking over the mountains and splashing across the valley.
I rode the Marinoni today - first ride since converting it to (a more approopriate) drop bar road bike (just installed 25mm Conti GP 4 seasons last night). Wahoooo! The bike is more in its element now, and it was a blast to ride.
The only glitch (which I knew would be an issue) - my chain line isn't quite optimal (about 5mm too far outboard in back) since I've swapped the fixed gear cog for a freewheel on the S3X hub. I lost the chain off of the rear cog a couple of times when I was really cranking it out. Chain tension is pretty close to optimal, but I may tighten it up a bit to prevent the derailment. still, what a hoot. That bike is so much fun to ride.
