    Oh, stop me from drooling... your bike is so beautiful!!! WOW!!! I love her! And you look GREAT on her- fits you like it was made for you! Woo hoo! Thanks for posting so many pics! Glad you got to take her out for a longish spin today. Don't worry- you'll get the aero skills FAST with a beauty like that under you (and don't let me fool you- my skills are nowhere near excellent).

    I must say, you and your bike are a match made in heaven (and having only seen the pic of you in your avatar, you're a beauty along with your bike). Sorry if that sounded weird.

    Thanks again for posting the pics! I hope you have many, many happy miles w/your new ride- I know they will be speedy ones!

    Oh yeah, I love the set-up of the bike shop where you can see yourself on your bike. Cool touch because I always wonder how I look on it, and when you're getting fit it's nice to know what "right" is supposed to look like.
    I may mention that to my LBS (and he may ignore me, but it's worth a try).

    GREAT pics, KSH! She's (he's?) beautiful. You look awesome in the fitting picture... just take the background out and put a road underneath you.

    I'm looking forward to trying aero, even on my road bike. A tri bike is a thing to behold, though. You'll be so fast, you really will look like a bee as you buzz on by!

    Thank you for all the kind words and compliments!

    I really appreciate it! I can't wait to ride her again this weekend!

    I thought that looked like Plano (my fav), but I know in the past you have posted about the RBM rides, so I wasn't sure.

    Gorgeous! Both you and the bike! All the hammer heads are going to crash when you go zipping by (Men are soooo visual

    what a GREAT Christmas present!


    It's about the journey and being in the moment, not about the destination

    OK, for some odd reason I thought you live in Australia.... yea, I'm nuts.

    I like RBM... don't get me wrong... but they could NEVER fix the gearing issue with my Trek 1000... that I purchased there. I took it back a few times, and then I finally had to give up on getting into the big ring for many months.

    Dustin (who has since left.... and I am so UPSET!) was FINALLY able to fix my bike... and I have done my best to get PCF my business ever since.

    HA! I can only hope. I was moving like a turtle the other day.

    When I was looking at buying a road bike, I was going to RBM. The person that I started talking to, I was not the most comfortable with. I knew what I wanted, then talking to others, they did not seem interested in me because I only wanted to spend a couple of thousand (not $5000+). I called PCF and they had the bike I wanted in the size that I needed (RBM did not), so I went there. I have not done major cycling shopping at the other store since. I feel like family at PCF. Are you going to do the Happy New Rear on New Years?

    That's good that PCF worked out for you. I want to buy my next road bike from there... but I am looking at Giants... and they don't sell that brand. I'm loyal, but I go where the item I want to purchase is.

    I do think that RBM is still a solid shop with a huge selection, but they have gotten way too big I think. Although, I am typically always assisted when I go in there.

    I won't be doing the New Years ride... as I'm sure I'll be hung over.

    What a gorgeous bike!!!! Can't believe I missed this thread! I think Cervelos are some of the most beautiful tri bikes. I always pause to admire when I walk past one while setting up in transition. Congratulations! (and I'm with bluetree...must not covet... )
