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

G'day,

Woohoo.....I'll bet you won't be sorry. as i said, I would have been equally happy with either the 486 or the VXRS....4 weeks...do you have the days marked on the calender?....my 486 took 2 months from the day I ordered it....the LBS were getting sick of me ringing every 2 days..."Is it here yet"?....lol, I bet you're the same. So are you getting a new DA9 gruppo, or is this an existing one going on a new frame?..what about wheels?.....The biggest problem with highend frames is you are sort of forced to make sure everything else on it is highened too...no cheap shortcuts allowed (or a man from 'time' will come to your house & go 'Tsk, Tsk, Tsk' & repossess the frame!).......let us know what you're planning....I remember how I felt when I ordered mine, so I know how excited you are!,

cheers,

Hitchy

I will have to move the DA over for now, I will also have to use my Heilums for now. I do have the FSA K-Wing bars, Time stem,and the Fizik Aliante with the carbon rails. I don't want to push my luck.
