My first new road bike in 17 years! Ain't it purdy?
Excuse the couch/paw print background on the first one. I was really hard to get a picture that showed the colors.

it's a Project One 6.2. It has electronic shifters - Ultegra di2. I've used campy for so many years that this is going to be a learning curve for me. No thumb shifter!

That is VERY nice! I'd love to hear your review of those electronic shifters, I can't quite wrap my head around that. Originally Posted by Dogmama

Sweet!!
I'm awaiting my Project One tri-bike. Could not afford the Di-2..You'll have to let us know about the shifting ( and transition to Di-2).
Congratulations!

Very nice! Is that the flames paint scheme? It looks a lot nicer "on" than how I remember it on the web. Let us know how the shifting is!
At least I don't leave slime trails.
