None taken. Like I said, no BF thread is complete........

The ride is amazing. It weighs in at 16.5, compared to 20 for my old bike. So, climbing is like a dream (many hills here in Berkeley CA). Rock solid on descents (though I personally wuss out around 50). Coming from aluminum, it has a more forgiving feel on the road. It's plenty stiff for me at 160, though I rarely "sprint" and I don't feel any BB flex. This bike has made me faster (notice I said faster and not fast) and more motivated to ride more and longer. Like Grahny said, the welds, finish etc. are all excellent. I could not find any imperfections on the frame and I looked hard! It's comfortable and efficient...so far so good. On a side note, I think I now prefer SRAM to Shimano (I never thought I would say that, but now Shimano just feels weird after using Force).

Same here.
