Big thanks to the folks at Yellow Jersey in Madison for the frame prep and awesome wheel build! and thanks to the folks at In Competition Sports in Green Bay for checking my nuts and chopping my extra stem.

(sorry for the crappy background but I was plumb short of your standard hispter fare of ironic black and white run down bus depos or traintracks tonight

).

Took her out for a spin late last night---handles beautifully. turning is nice and smooth and the drive train nearly silent. I don't know how I feel about the mustache bars yet. the ends are too short to sit comfortably upright and the bends make me put 3/4 of my weight on the bars and lean too far forward
