I'm glad your getting things sorted with the new 'Dale. This weekend I meeting both my cousin and Uncle for an organized ride ( mostly 2 lane blacktop) and a 16 mile rails to trails section on the 50 mile loop. My cousin has the CX Quick 4. So I will have a chance to ride both the carbon fork and the spring fork for an extended time. In the mean time I'm selling so woodworking tools so I won't really have to worry about the cost. Thanks for keeping us up to date! I'm going on a slow roll ride tonight with my Schwinn. No bony I know on the ride wants to trade bikes, so just getting a few miles on the old legs
