Nice ride! Much smoother than the last bike, even with the stiff carbon rims. Even passed a guy, hard to believe. Psimet did an outstanding job tuning the derailleurs.

Too late for pics. Maybe tomorrow.

Deep V carbon rims look so wicked.

It is hotter in person. Keep in mind he hand built the carbon TUBULARS...

I'm not a Campy *****. I'm not much of a retro steel follower either, but this is afine rig. You can't help but do a double take or just to stare at it.

NICE ride. Please root for my daughter on her ACT. Otherwise, my money will all be attending college for quite some time. Or... ECC, here she comes, 'cause Daddy needs a new ride. Alas, I love my wife, and kids, so I know THAT ain't gonna happen.

Sweet bike. Style, grace, speed, and a bag of chips.

The only possible improvement is to flip it.
