Well just took her out for her maiden voyage. Did a few adjustments and now have pretty dialed in. Added a 1.5mm spacer to the seat tube and lowered the stack hight by 2.5mm and now she is perfect!

This a tribute to how good the CAAD 8 is/was because the LOOK felt like a smoother version of my venerable C'dale. Handling wise very similar the noticable differences were in the weight and the more compliant ride of the CF frame. This bike feels much like the SystemSix I rode in March. With that said I loved my C'dale so this is just more to love.

The '07 Record brakes are noticeably better than my '06 Record brakes, and the throw on the '07 QS shifters was a bit quicker and has a slightly shorter throw. I am a happy happy man.
