Thanks for the compliments everyone.

Yup, there was another post somewhere showing the damage. That was a while ago though. I ended up just taking it like a man, unfortunately the owner of the dog has absolutely nothing in his name and he gets paid under the table. His uncle is also the local magistrate. The only thing I got out of the whole deal was some threats. Oh, and a new 9mm.

The only changes I have made to the bike so far has been replacing the pedals with speedplay zero stainless (TH edition). I also replaced the brakes and went to a slightly shorter stem. I got rid of the Cane Creek brakes and put on Campy Records. Much, much better brakes.

I am only 5' 10" so the 172.5 crank works perfect. So far I have put quite a few miles on the bike including one century. The weather is finally getting a little better so I am able to spend a little more time on the bike and a little less time at the gym. I absolutely love this bike, it's great to be spending some time with it again. There is nothing on it that I would change with the exception of the cassette but that is just because I am getting stronger.

The area that I ride is pretty hilly and the bike does great, especially now that I have lost 30 pounds. I am actually considering switching out the cassette for a 13-26. I just haven't decided for sure yet.
