New Baby Arrives!!!
Here's some pics of my new ride
I did some mods at the shop as follows: Swapped Bonty Race X Lite saddle for a Toupe Team, added Look Keo Carbon Pedals (chromoly spindles), swapped the Bonty Race X Lite Compact Crank for a standard Dura Ace 53/39, added red Selle San Marco bar tape, swapped the Bonty Race X Lite tires for Specialized Mondo 23c, and added ZIPP carbon bottle cages. Before the changes, the bike weighed in at 15.3 lbs w/out pedals (58cm frame). BTW, I'm running a SRAM 11-26 cassette.

I rode my pal's 6.9, may have been the best racing bike ever. Nice ride. Enjoy.
The ultimate irony is that you think this will make you faster. Silly weenie. I would too.

For some silly reason, I don't like treks-although I just sold one that was a great ride-I can't figure it either. I am trying to think of something negative to say about your bike and can't find anything. that is a sweet bike. I love the way you have the colours blended, it looks like a lot of thought went into it.
Very subtle. Enjoy.

Genetics have failed me
Baby? Looking at it that must have hurt like hell to deliver it. But it certainly looks very cute!
But in all seriousness, this is a great looking bike!

Very nice bike, I would not pay MSPR though. I did not know that they made it in the black, the LBS that I ride for only has it in white and I love it.
