Ha! SK you crack me up - a cape - that would be something to see! I wonder how many wheel rotations before that thing got caught in my mongo rear cassette and it all came to a crashing, painful halt!

Derf - the Calfee felt fine - I can't say I hated or loved it - I was really only trying it out because I felt like I needed to try carbon, just to see what it's like, but since I'm not a fan of the carbon look, I wasn't really considering it as a potential bike match for me. It was more like "is it going to totally blow me away"?, and the answer was no. It was very smooth, but didn't feel quite as snappy as the Seven when starting up.

I hope to be seeing preliminary specs on my bike this week before leaving on vacation for a week, but I'm taking my laptop, so if they get delayed a bit, I'll still be able to look them over from London (just so nothng gets unneccesarily delayed! )
