Beautiful bike by the way! (Love that Orange)

Happy ending afterall, I guess. If orange is your thing, then power to you. I would have liked to see this thing in blue, though. *drool*

So now when is wifey going to get a suped up ride???

Well... wifie here again.... I am not nearly as athletic as MScycler so I will wait until my body mechanics can justify and upgrade. He is a runner by original hobby and is a 12 year Army member....and can do basically any sport really well. <evil jealouse pangs here> He even drops weight like a fat lady drops Tofu.... Me on the other hand....Hehe!!! I have had 3 kids and am not 21 anymore. I LOOK at a Krispy Kreme and my booty spreads another 2 inches. My trek 1000 is working just fine for me right now thank you. I dream of a Cervelo though.......<sigh>

On the other hand if it's on the back and the same thing happens it'll be grabbed by the spokes and pulled to the front which could cause more damage to either sensor or spokes, or the fork leg.
Same thing applies to the magnet on the wheel.

OK...beautiful bike, but at the risk of starting another ugly thread I'll say it - that seat looks painful! Stretched out across the rails with so much seatpost showing I have to say the following question comes to mind.
Isn't that like riding in a <duck....incoming...> thong ?!

About the Orbea, I like the color, but it should say "Crayola" instead of Orbea. The black design reminds me of the old crayon wrappers
