No, this was an auction. It's a beautiful bike but I am pretty tee'd off about the fork graphics and headset thing. PBS might have to have a compression sent to them in which case I won't have the bike back til Monday. If they had the plug I could be riding friday morning...if I skip work.

My headset was not installed, and it didn't expect it to be, so that was not an issue in my case. Plus, unless a fork is listed as coming with a compression plug, you can assume it doesn't. Knowing that, I got a hold of an FSA plug before the frame arrived. In any case, these are small things for you that will soon pass, and once you're on the bike, they'll all be forgotten. Enjoy!!!

I'm an older rider and find that 30mm is the most I need for spacing, on my Flyte I used this 25mm conical spacer.

I got two 10mm, two 5mm and two 3mm spacers. I'm hoping I don't need them all but at 42 who knows. I need to stretch more.

1. Flyte CR3 FULL CARBON FORK: Part#: FL-FK-FLYTE-45-GLOSS
2007 Flyte CR3 Full Carbon Fork (Blades, Crown & Steerer Tube). Fork is integrated design and would look great on your new road frame if you dont already have an integrated fork. Specs: 1 1/8 Steerer, 45mm Rake, 390 grams, (Note: Fork does not have decals) Retail $200 / Sale $150

For the record, my glossy frame and fork were both purchased through ebay.

It's odd that blandin's email mentioned a 45mm rake and mine said 43mm. You would think it's a form email with the same text in each. Mine had a link to the 2007 CR3 so that is what I expect(ed).

I can't afford a new grouppo until Christmas but I wasn't about to wait til then to ride the new frame. Performance Bike is moving my old grouppo over. They just called and said I can pick it up after work today.

- yeah almost like it's one of those foam/puffy kids stickers that has a cardboard front. I thought it was going to tear when I was taking off the plastic protective cover. I don't plan on taking mine off intentionally, but I am sure it will come off sometime while it's getting handled or loaded into a rack.

Does anyone have experience with the Campy Xenon group? ProBikeKit has a cheap 2007 10spd that is very tempting.
I have searched the forums, but didn't find anything like a practical review.
