A Prince is Born

At long last the Zedtech's arrived so the new bike is being built. Got the seat now. The pedals will be in Tuesday. It should be completed soon.

Congratulations. You have probably managed to spend more on your bike than most people's houses, for exactly .00000000001% performance improvement.
Nice bike, though.

It's funny how people think. One of my life defining moments was when I was 7 years old and it was my birthday. I was playing with a friend of mine in my front yard when the little truck from the bike store came down the street. I was of course estatic as the truck slowed down as it approached. Then just as it came it left. As it left you could see the high handlebars and sissy bar over the lift gate. What a cool bike some lucky kid was going to get. Too bad it wasn't going to be me.
I was crushed as it left my block. My heart having been torn from my body, I slinked back to the garage with my friend. Then, miracles of miracles, the truck from the bike shop reappeared. And this time it was headed right up my driveway. The bike was a beautiful purple and had a metallic gold banana seat. I was in heaven and spent the next three days on the bike showing it off to all of my friends and anyone else who might care to see it.
Have you ever had a moment like that? I hope so. This bike brings back some of that feeling.
And no, I never did figure out if they did the drive by on purpose but I'm sure they felt my joy.

Wow glad to see this thread brought out the bitter ****** bags in full force.
Nice bike man, enjoy.

Orange is one of my favorite colors. I'd hit it. You're a better person than most to deserve a ride like that. I know I don't (deserve it, I mean).
