Thanks guys for the nice comments.

I've never owned this nice of a bicycle before.

Never.

Aaron, as for the 4000s tires, they are very nice.

I ran them on my Master Extra Light and my Master.

Very nice in corners, they would allow me to push harder than I usually dared.

I never flatted with them and they seemed to be decent tires for distances as well.

The only time they scared me was a long downhill run at about 35 miles an hour.

It was a little damp from rain the previous evening.

We were coming down a mile long hill and had a sweeping left turn near the bottom.

The back end broke loose and I did a drift all the way through.

I didn't lose it, but I got off the bike in Taylors Falls and almost puked.

All the guys I was riding with could say was, "way to go dude."

Scared to death I was.

I'll never forget that wild turn, but I suppose it could have happened on any tire.
