Looks classy. I'm thinking about buying one. I just built up a conversion out of that old Italian townbike, but the BB is kinda low and it feels like a boat.

Start with something a bit smaller, like a 46x18 or 46x17. This way you will improve your spin and learn the basics quicker. Spin is very important. I rode 42x16 for my first two months to improve my spin and it did a world of good.

Just to stay on topic, yes, the MarkV rocks! I love mine, can't wait to get it back on the road.

Mine arrived today after a torturous wait...it's pretty nice. I threw it together after work and messed around for awhile. I need to take it to the lbs and get the fork circumsized and then it will be ready to rock.
