Finally got my new bike!

I ordered it a little over a month ago, and its finally here! I have been riding it for a little, and I love it so far. There was a little cosmetic damage from shipping, but I expected a little since it was being shipped to Iraq. Its a Motobecane Fantom Pro. everything went together great, and I had everything adjusted in about 30 minutes. Its my first experiance with disk brakes, let alone hydro's, and I love them so far. Here are a couple pics in my CHU. I will get some riding pics later.

Nice bike, and the helmet matches up too! Looking forward to seeing some action shots. Stay safe 'till you get back.

I say that dkdunn should be a member of the TGMBG. What say the gang?
