Damn that's a beauty (the bike. The cat that looks like it wants to piss on the bike is just ok. :) :D :D ) Do you ride with the seat that much higher than the bars?

Haven't ridden it yet...just got it today and it's rainy and gross. I'll take a picture after I've adjusted some more and take a picture of the old bike, as well.

Way back I used to ride everywhere.. I ended up getting a front fork for a much bigger frame and making a spacer for the top bearing locknut so my bars could be up higher.. Leaning so far forward made my hands go numb after a while. I made a solid bar aluminium seatpost cause the hollow ones kept bending.. And I meant no disrespect to your cat. :D

Schmancy!

Does Vin Diesel know they named a bike after him?

Don't make bad jokes, darin.

Sweet bike. It does look like your cat wants to "claim" it lol

Forgive my ignorance and lack of desire to search, but is that bike made in that store? If so does it smell like glue in there?

Okay nevermind! Still a very nice ride!

Is this the new team bikes?

Hey the cat looks pregnant!

^ cat...

Doesn't anybody watch The Price is Right any more??

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!

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, :p

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?

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.

Cat is caveman talk for Darn It.:D

It Looks Fast!

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?

I don't know townie, but anything's better than that italian crap, ;)

Why do you say that? Here's a pretty impressive list

Them's fightin' words. My rigid Cervino would go right over a VW Beetle, and did on one occasion. I had to ride like crazy to get away from the guy, too. Ha, good times.

Anyway, it wasn't all Italian. After I broke it the first time, the front fork was Peugeot and the handlebar...hell, I think the handlebar was just a solid aluminum ingot.
