My team bike has just arrived and boy is it a sweet ride! Pretty darn light, too, for Ultegra 10spd componentry AND the stock wheels that weigh more than an elephant does (They're 1700g's). Good training wheels none-the-less. And it'll be even lighter with my race wheels on it. It's going to be a great race bike this year. Anyway's I thought I'd take a few pictures to make you all happy. 
^^Kind of dark, but ohwell^^
^^But of course, you have to have the race wheels^^
I hope you all liked the pictures and have a great day...well rest of the day
Also check out the "VR" [variable radius] bend in the bars. By far the most comfortable bend I have ever held/used.

The joys of being sponsored by the big boys. You DID pay for it though--sweat equity.

Nice nice nice. Did I mention it looks very nice.
I just got a set of Modolo Curvissima bars - love the bend. What bars are those? Are they a new Bonty model?

Thats a cool bike. Every now and then I see riders wearing Greggs Cycles kits on my rides into the Seattle area. I'll keep a look out for you and that bright blue bike - although, you'll probably only ride it in fair weather, which may not be anytime soon... As for myself, I've got some training to do then maybe I'll be good enough to join a team and race - it seems really cool if you get good at the sport

No better way to earn it than with sweat. Money is overrated.
