Whats with the wavy front fork and rear seat stay? Do they perform a function to make the bike better?

Now if I could only ride it. Went out on the Sirrus Pro briefly today and it felt good to be on a bike again.

All that shiny, shiny goodness.

Are those the K-Wing bars? If so what do you think so far?

My Cannondale has a Cinelli Ram bar with a similiar flat top that I've liked and which is very comfortable. There are downsides: if you don't wrap the top you must wear gloves, you cannot use clip ons, and most lights will not mount on them. The bars on this bike are rotated too far back and will be fixed so that they are flat.

No the image that comes to mind is pack everything you own into a 1989 Ford Fiesta, Montana plates, go to Arizona to live in your house with wheels.

Guess you'll never have to worry about that. Now finish bagging my groceries.

Thanks. Do you ever do the Lario's ride to Roberts on Saturday? Otherwise I'm riding usually riding out to the Key or to South Beach. I can't wait until I can ride again. PM me if you'd like to ride sometime.
