four more weeks?!?!!?!?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Dude, so not your bike.

You're not getting a SS with a hollowgram SI SRM are you?

Hawt bike nonetheless. A friend has one, and hasn't said anything but awesome things about it

Haha, they aren't too "into" me purchasing a new bike, but I pay them rent, I take care of myself, so what can they do haha. I'm just glad I'm getting to take care of this purchase before I move back out this winter.

Rue? I have some money burning a hole in my pocket. I'm going to be a good boy and see if any killer deals come up at the big swap meet at T-town in 2 weeeks. Gratulations on your ride though.

I so feel your pain. I'm waiting for my new baby Cannondale too. Unfortunately, I don't have an exact due date yet...just sometime in May.

people still use lay-away?

last huge purchase i made for myself i just applied for a zero % APR for 60 month credit card and bought it, but then again, i'm an instant gratification *****.

edit: it will probably be more enjoyable riding a bike that is totally yours, good choice.
