First ride! Only rode around the block a few times. it was very windy and very difficult to control, but I felt great on it! Can't wait for a real ride. Hoping that will happen at lunch tomorrow.

I'd love that range for my ID8, which also has a compact, and I'm running a 12-25 currently.
I think from the picture you and that bike were made for each other :p
Silver...thanks for posting a pic. You and the bike look GREAT!!!!

Yes a compact. I'm a little disappointed. Clearly, I was too focused on the final product to absorb all the details. I'm fairly certain that I'm going to switch out the compact for a standard. I was riding in 50/12 today and felt like I could crank more.
Silver, the new bike is awesome! Hope you have many happy and safe miles together:).
50-11 is lower the 53-12. An 50x34 with a 11x23 is about the same is a 53x39 with a 12x25. You can check it out on Sheldon Brown's web site.Quote:

Holy smokes that is one decked out Trike! Wooweee! NICE!
I see many many.. many fast miles on this 'un! Happy journeys, Silver!!
P.S. I didn't mean to copy the sentiment "love at first sight" about my new ride too... just coincidently we had the same experience! hee...
Silver, we expect you to shatter your TT records this year. ;)
Nice! Whoever did you fit is spot on! That bike fits you like a glove. Looks like my husband's P2C is going to California. Sad but he can't ride it. Good luck with that bad boy.
