New Bike
 
This is my first ever road bike; I've had a used Cannondale F400 for years, and since I'm going off to college I thought I may as well get something I can both use and enjoy.
It's a 2007 Bianchi Via Nirone 7 with Shimano 105 brifters/fd/rd. Sorry about the craptastic quality, but all I have is a camera phone.

Haha, I've read some similar comments about that lovely disc.

Yeah, the reflectors are definitely being removed; however, the dork disc may, at least for a time, stay, because I'm not currently too confident in my skill with the derailleur. D8

As long as the derailer is properly adjusted at the shop, there is no need for the dork disk, regardless of your level of skill. The limiting screws perform the same purpose.
