Buying a new bike tomorrow!!!!
 
So I have been on the hunt for about 6 months. I have been cycling for 3 years and went from 10 mile cruises to hard core group rides and centuries. I am addicted. This addiction definitely exceeded my old bike. It was a 2006 Giant OCR C3. Put it on Craiglist and sold it in 1 day. Great deal for the buyer and I was happy with my selling price. Anyway, I have been on the hunt to find the best bang for my $3500.00 budget and find something available. So many bikes are sold out. I have finally found and am very happy with a Specialized Tarmac Expert Ultegra in White/Carbon. I am swapping the Ksyrium Equipe for Dura Ace Sl wheels. Will be just under 16.5 pounds which drops almost 4 pounds from my old bike plus it will be much stiffer and handle better. I am so excited and hope to have it ready for a 90 mile suffer-fest from Brea to GMR and back on Sunday!

Pictures to hopefully follow soon.

Ryan - Congrats on the new ride, never figured I'd say that to you about a bike though. Let me know when your done punishing your self on those BIG hills and maybe we can break that new bike in on a costal ride.
