I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy. I'm way out-of-shape. But when you have a bike like this, you just start training. It's 6700 Dura Ace 10-speed. It came with a compact crank (fine for now, but when my fitness comes back, probably want to go 52/36 or 53/39). Stiffness is excellent. For the price paid, I feel like it was well worth it...this or my BD Motobecane? Umm.....THIS! I dislike the company's underhanded business practices (I blame their lawyers) but the design / engineering dept at Specialized... of this 2011 pro-grade tarmac is just out of this world.
