From what I hear, Dario is doing well and is back at the bench building bikes (yay!). He was just at the NAHBS show apparently.
Don't know more than that.

Wow, that really is pretty. I see what you mean in describing it as art. It's really pretty. Do you think you'll go for high-end parts? All Red components?
Is that a racing bike or plush one built for doing longer rides like centuries?
May I ask what sort of insurance coverage you have that covers a stolen bicycle? I want to make sure my bike is covered, too, because I often leave her in the Rav when I'm at work or at the Y or shopping.
Did you have to provide some sort of market value for an equivalent bike, or did you have your bike on a rider already, in detail?
Thanks!
Roxy
Great to hear.:)Quote:

he does great work from what i hear. gorgeous lug work if you like that sorta thing.
I am going with campy record 11. we have always been campy people.
the insurance is our homeowners insurance. we specified we want coverage for replacement value of our personal property (as opposed to actual cash value, "ACV"). if you only have acv, depreciation is factored in and you get nothing. we certainly wouldnt be buying this bike. we were concerned if there was a fire (a real possibility where we live) we wouldnt be able to replace our business clothes, etc.
ETA racy v. plush: it's their scandium frame. could do anything.
It's so pretty. We just picked it up from the shop tonight - 15 minutes ago. I can't post pictures just now, but I will. It is going to Mt. Diablo tomorrow. :cool:
It's like a subdued psychedlic orange dreamsicle.....

Thanks, Jo! I will post some close up nice pics tomorrow, but we were too busy rushing around and making up for ditching the kid all day to go ride.... :rolleyes:
We picked up the bike so late last night I did not ride it at all, not even around the block. So it was a huge leap of faith to take a brand new bike on a 70 mile ride with some extended climbs, but the bike was AMAZING. Snappy, light, responsive. It just wants to GO. I was a bit nervous about the compact gearing, but it really was great, and I have the nice IRD dinner plate cassette on back (well, ok, a dessert plate). I suspect with any gearing you'd want a little easier gear at the top wall of Diablo, but honestly the rest of the time was fine. And I didn't miss the in between gears you lose with the compact at all. So DH will not be trading me his triple for the new Record 11 stuff (that was our backup plan if I didn't like this). The new Record shifts so snappy and smooth.
Great job on the ride, BTW. And nice to see Thom and V.
Wow! Gorgeous new bikes! Glad the ride was great! Many more happy miles to you!
