I have a new friend

[zjrog]

Never heard of that brand... But then again, I've been away for cycling for better than 10 years. Looks fast (nice angles...), but that straight fork must make a stiff ride!

[SVOboy]

I have yet to ride it actually, because of the rain, but I've noticed two things...the first being that I ordered it with an 11-26 cassette and got an 11-23, not what I need, since I need something for hill climbing, oops, gotta call them tomorrow,

Also, none of my bike computers will fit on it cuz it's too big! Guess I gotta buy another, boo.

Hopefully I'll take it for a ride to the doctor's office ~15 miles away tomorrow, no better way to get to a physical than on a bike, eh?

Very nice looking bike. What components are on it?

[NoCO2]

Wow, that had to have cost a pretty penny...Very nice piece of machinery though.

They're our team sponsors, , wicked good deal! It's built up with sram rival.

It Looks Fast!

[SVOboy]

It feels fast...no idea how fast though...

Bought this today: http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-VDO-C3-DS-W-...QQcmdZViewItem

Hopefully I'll find out how fast soon,

Are you going to commute with that weapon? I had buddy ride his $4k downhill bike to work, he had like a 4lb cable lock and always put it right infront of the security desk window. It never got stolen but more than once I saw the local punks eyeing up the situation...
Be careful where you leave it! And enjoy the new ride.

That looks like one helluva fast bike. I used to commute to school on a battered old Schwinn, some aftermarket parts to make it less awful, finally broke it (snapped the head off - too many wheelies will do that to racer bikes).

I could never get comfortable with the butts-up seating position, though. That's why I like the mountain bikes so much, but I'm looking at replacing my dead-and-gone Bianchi with a Townie. Anyone have personal experience with them?
