Congrats!
Wishing you many happy miles on your new steed!! I've never been disappointed with the triple on my road bikes -- hopefully you'll also be pleased with your gearing selection.

He's home!!!
Brought him home on the train and it was chucking it down on the way from the train station, so I spent half an hour drying and polishing him cause it seemed terribly wrong letting a brand new bike get mucky...
Looking at the weather forecast, my chances of getting out on him for the next few days are minimal...hail, sleet and heavy rain - great!!!
Had ordered some slim shims of the web following a thread on this forum as I was struggling with the lever reach on the testride, and I wasn't sure if they would have them in. Good job I did - lbs had never even heard of them, but were very impressed and are going to order a whole load in on Monday. The difference they make is amazing, so thanks a lot for that tip!!!!
Will have to post some pics tomorrow of what he looks like in real life!!!One day, I'm going to buy a cottage in a small village and become its idiot!

Yes, we can't wait to hear and see more!
How thrilling!
It 'always' seems that rotten weather starts the very day one picks up a new bike. It's a plague that follows most of us. I hurt my hip (not biking) after only a few miles on my new bike and couldn't ride it for 6 weeks! It was torture.
Glad you are getting those shims.

Ooooo pretty, you know, for a boy. I'm sure my bike is a boy too but I suspect he'll be wearing some pink soon because thats how I roll.
