Life is good

Well, after a 3 month layaway I went to my LBS this morning and brought home my "fully paid for" Serotta Fierta Steel!!!! (It's identical to the picture on the Serotta website.) I took it out this afternoon for it's maiden voyage. Smooth as silk with the carbon forks and that stiff steel frame really makes it responsive! I've got it in my living room tonight so I can sit in my recliner and look at it. What a beaut!!! Even my 18 year old daughter said "cool bike Dad" Life is good...Merry Christmas Frankp

Sounds like Santa came a little early. Nice looking bike-carbon seat stays as well. Enjoy!

I got a workstand for Christmas. I assembled it in the living room, but for some reason my wife made me put it in the garage, even though she gets to keep her ballet barre in the living room.

Curious about the weigh of the bike. Looks like Christmas has come early.
