The early season races aren't so great for meeting up - there's no place to go grab a drink/food after the race... a bit later in the season we should do it though!

Dude, it's okay to not comment on every single thing that's posted. I know you're just sharing your opinion, but if you're just going to be negative about stuff, you can occasionally keep your thoughts to yourself. Just sayin.

The other side of it is though, I am just as (if not more) likely to sell the cervelo and buy a Tsunami frame.

God, I love the look of the Skeletor. I'll be building up a new frame after this season, and I keep thinking about building up one of these. Have you raced it yet? How was it? Also, what did you race prior to this? I need to find somebody close to me that has one, and try it out.

He is now a cat 1 and Men's A intercollegiate racer. He moved to Colorado to attend Ft. Collins and do some elite lvl intercollegiate racing. I used to do intervals with him on flat roads and camp his wheel; it was probably a harder workout for me.
I give him a 50% chance of going pro or starting a long term career when he graduates.
Long story short: You can go far with that bike.

Just bought this.
Really does live up to the hype. Should carry me through the Cat 5s just fine.
Shop owner gave me a deal on some DT Swiss r1700s to replace the stock wheels. Does anyone ride or know much about the r1700s? I couldn't find too much on them.

During college I used to live with a guy for a year (09-10) who had the exact same frame (size too) and everything except different wheels (ksyriums)
He is now a cat 1 and Men's A intercollegiate racer. He moved to Colorado to attend Ft. Collins and do some elite lvl intercollegiate racing. I used to do intervals with him on flat roads and camp his wheel; it was probably a harder workout for me.

It's a pretty great bike for sure. The geometry isn't especially well suited to me but I make do just fine. Here's a quick pic after yesterday's muddy ride, will post a proper shot once I get my new bars and groupset installed.

Why not a proper shot now? What are you running? Is that the updated fork? Funny, we have the same shoes and gps also.

Re: geometry - I just find I feel stretched out (my torso is somewhat short relative to my limbs). I've always felt more comfortable on track frames with shorter top tubes and steeper geometry than any road bike. I am getting used to this one though.
