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

If you bought it then it better be a good deal! You saved over $1,000, so yeah, it was a good deal. Congrats on your new bike and much success in your racing endeavors

You are supposed to figure out if it's a good deal BEFORE you buy it.

better than hesitating and seeing the potential good deal slip away from your hands. I could've won a bid for a $1400 carbon bike on ebay, which I later paid 1600 for the same model. Still an amazing deal, though

will post pics in hot r not sooner or later.
