Hooray! Glad you got the bike. You certainly deserve it!
Mr. Silver, what a great new bike.:p Thanks for the pic of you and your bike. A bike looks lonely without a rider nearby.

Nope, Silver only works with silver (which means that technically, she's a "goldsmith":confused: because a "silversmith" makes hollowware:rolleyes:Quote:

I was disappointed with the DuraAce shifters, but a trip to the LBS fixed that and they started to take on "slicing butter" attributes.
The left DuraAce pedal wouldn't lock, so I rode with one DuraAce and one 105...again, a trip to the LBS fixed that.
The guys at the LBS were ecstatic to hear about my speed improvement!
I do have a little discomfort in the minor rhomboids...I'm hoping that's just a matter of getting used to the new geometry...
No problems so far...it's less padded than my last saddle. I did slide it back a bit last night. Today, I did 50 miles without any problems, but I was starting to wonder if I could go 100 miles on it...Quote:

Congrats on the new ride and your weight loss! And it's always nice when a new purchase is validated by an increased performance (did the bike make you go faster, or did you just ride better because you were happy to have a new bike?:p) Wishing you many happy miles!
Here's the way I looked at it:Quote:

So, I suspect that 1.7% is weight reduction (how's that for a dieting incentive) and the balance is technology. I don't attribute any at all to me...I was actually apprehensive setting out on this ride because I was so satisfied with my LeMond Reno...:o
LOL ...that's exactly right!Quote:
