nope it wasA 20" and the guy started changing prices as I grew interest.. first the fork was included then not.. whatever i didn't want to deal with someone that plays games anyway. Id rather pay an honest person more.

so thinking of selling????? :)
Everything's for sale if the price is right.

I'm a little embarrassed that I have so many road miles this year, but I'm kind of strong and I have lost more than 20 lbs, so I'm really ok with it.
It will take some getting used to as I like bombing around a little bit, riding wheelies, flicking cans/garbage into traffic with my front tire, etc. during the commute and not worrying that a rigid carbon bike under me will collapse.

We'll see what happens. I've always wanted to do a century...

I don't go crazy, but I'll hit a little bump or two for air from time to time. :busted:

In all her glory:



I dunno if I'm feeling it though. Only rode it a few blocks so far. Will take it for it's maiden commute tomorrow and see what's up...

I don't think so. It's some integrated FSA headset weirdness. Check it out if you want. I'll be in Phoenix around 6:30-7.
Very nice rig!
I had a tricked out Lemond roadie for awhile, I miss it sometimes. A high quality road bike is like a sports car, they just freakin' go. And they are purdy to look at.

My very first roadie ride! You feel every little bump and almost laid down the carbon goodness when I caught a groove. My hands are sore, and I'm still not convinced it's for me. The speed was fun, but I think the seat and bar could use a little dialing in.

Go get a proper fit, life will get better
Gotta figure out hand positioning as well. Do roadies brake with one finger or two? I'm too used to having my size 12 pointer finger just resting on the brake lever ready to go.

Bizzaro when I'm all stretched out trying to brake:



The modulation is sick though. I just need to figure out the Record action I guess.
