Nice ride this morning. It was cool and a bit of light fog. I just puttered along since I was pumped after a few days back following a week off.

I went to look at a 1999 Rocky Mountain Turbo with Easton Ultralite tubes and CF fork and full Ultegra. It was the right size and the right price. So I will soon have a race bike (I just need to pick it up and pay for it tomorrow). It is so light and twitchy. It is almost the perfect set up for me. I just need to slide the seat forward and nose it down, loosen the spd release point on the right pedal and adjust the bars a bit more. It only need a computer and water bottle cages. There was minimal ware: cable housing rub on the head tube; new cassette, rings and chain; a few small paint dings. It also meets my cost benefit criteria.
