LOVE the whip!

I have a soft spot for Blue bikes...my cyclocross bike is a Blue CX6.5 and she's a great steed. Enjoy!!!!!

What a beautiful bike and what a great writer! I loved the pix. Your pix of your bike were almost "naughty." Good for you !

Ummm let me check (pretend looking sounds) Uuuuuuh no, but uh, Cat Eye has all their small parts online. Yes, aware of that, need it now, need to know I am Fuuuuuh-lyyyyiiiiing on the new ride.

Is it a wireless micro CatEye? I mounted mine like this, on the edge of the carbon fork, using the regular parts it comes with. Can't you do this with the rubber flange and the zip ties?:

Looks like you found your true love.

17 lbs?!?! I hope your wallet didn't get a 3rd or 4th degree episiotomy from that!

He's awesome! I'm glad you're back. I request a ride report! Oh, and I totally understand about the Spaghettios. Now that my kitchen is done, I'll be eating them for a while (but at least I can cook them in the kitchen!)

It should have, but working in the bike industry has its ups and downs. This was an up, for sure. I've got about 4 parts I'm staring at that must go and he'd be closer to 15-16. Oh well, he still rocks my freegin socks and that's what matters. I'd rather get a 52 or larger chain ring and 11-23 cassette for crits than worry about a stinkin' pound. That could come off my butt for much cheaper!!!

Anyway, I promise a ride report tomorrow. We've been having oodles of fun lately, and I have all sorts of nice things to say about him. Take for example the fact that he helped me mark my first crit on the calendar in June. And despite wicked soreness from him telling me we should go fast, always, I still want to play with him tomorrow despite knowing I desperately need a rest day.

I hope this honeymoon never ends, he is, everything I ever hoped 700c wheels could be and then some. When I look at him, I still can't believe he's mine. When I think about how much I love him and how he makes me feel, I get misty eyed. I'm such a dork.

Not really. Mine is almost straight out from the mount instead of a 90 degree angle like it used to be. Unfortunately the fork mount I spent the day tracking down was the wrong part. Ooops. I guess I just figured it wouldn't work unless the flat part of the "sensor zone" was fairly parallel to the magnet. So yeah, mine looks really goofy because my fork is wicked aero, tiny, and pert near on top of my spokes.
