Alasdair's New Ride (w/Pics)
I have junked my GMC Denali Bike 
and gotten a REAL bike - a 2006 Fuji Team Pro. I had it on deposit at the LBS until I knew what my tax return was gonna look like. Got the bike today. Unfortunately, I was not able to ride very much today (only about 10 miles) and my computer wheel magnet won't fit on the bladed spokes (I was planning on upgrading [EDIT] the computer [EDIT] anyway).
So, when I got back from the ride, I snapped some photos. And yeah, I know... FLIP IT!
2006 Fuji Team Pro
Fork Shot
Crank and RD Shots - yeah some road grunge

Nice looking ride.
Why are you going to upgrade the bladed spokes?

Nice ride! I've always been a huge fan of the Team Pro. Don't worry about flipping the stem. If it is comfortable like it is, leave it. Enjoy!!!

Nice. Thanks for the life-size(and larger) photos
.The 12k weave carbon looks great. I wish the Pedal Force RS I'm waiting for, used 12k instead of 3k.

I don't know why exactly, but I've always had a place in my heart for Fuji. Maybe it's because they represent such great bang-for-the-buck quality and value.

It's a Truvativ Rouleur Compact. I haven't heard really great things about it, but I've got no compaints yet. Besides, an Ultegra or DA Crank will look sweet on the bike anyway!
When I first started looking for a new bike, I fell in love with the Fuji's. I drifted to Giant for a bit, but as soon as my LBS made me an offer on the Team Pro, I couldn't refuse!

When you say you junked the Denali, you mean you donated it to charity, right? I'm sure some one could use it.....

Wow congrats! I was watching the your whole Denali project with keen interest from the start. (I always wondered when you'd buy a 'real' bike )
I seriously considered buying that same bike recently. It appeared to be a well built bike, great bang for the $!
Happy riding.
