My sweet new Cervelo! (In case you don't hit the tri forum.)

Lovely ride! I'm digging those Pittsburg colors (black & yellow/gold). You could name her Terry (Bradshaw) or Roberto/a (Clemente). Although I think Bad JuJu is on to something w/Bumblebee because when I first saw the photo, I thought "BEE BIKE." "Sting" could be a good alternative.

She's beautiful! My DP just bought me aero bars and a tri seatpost for my Kestrel Talon so I can shift from road to TT position. It's fabulous, but I can dream of a setup like yours!

On the bee theme, how about "Buzz." ? Or maybe Buzz for the not-taking-itself-seriously days and Sting for when it's time to kick a$$?

Beautiful bike! And it fits well, right? It looks like it does - I was confident that it was your size! The first couple of times in aero position is quite unnerving -and having to jump back to the bullhorns to hit the brakes, etc. Over time it'll all be second nature, just keep practicing.

I took Speedy (my Cervelo) out on a long ride yesterday. It was his first since this summer b/c I've been riding Ruby a lot lately (my road bike) - and it took a few minutes to not swerve and weave while getting used to the aero position again, and I've been riding tri bikes for a few years now! The first few times you ride in the aero position on longer rides, you'll probably get a sore neck, maybe sore back. But once your body gets used to it, they'll be no more soreness.

Oh, and I like the name "Sting" that was suggested earlier

Congrats on the new bike and have fun!!

What a awesome-cool bike. Lots of good names suggested. I do like yellow jacket. Have many wonderful miles on her.

or "The Bus" as long as we're going all football.
That could be fun as in:
"what bike are you bringing to the ride?"
"oh, I'll just bring 'the Bus'"
"We'll do an easy ride then" Image of heavy yellow steel (ahem) bike

I am glad you posted the picture up here as well. I love the colours.

Oooh, niiiice....

(Flossie doesn't mind me looking, cuz she knows my heart belongs to her lugged-steel loveliness)

Enjoy!

I like Sting, personally. And you're right; the red bar tape had to go.

[Cassandra_Cain]

KSH - gorgeous bike, great pictures, good for you!

Now of course, you have to get all the matching black/yellow accessories....

[HappyAnika]

Its beautiful, congratulations!!!

I was just out in Dallas for Thanksgiving and could not believe the warm weather, I was bummed I didn't have a bike to ride. At least I got to run without feeling like my lungs were burning from cold. It has been frigid here lately. Enjoy your sweet ride and beautiful riding weather!

[Bluetree]

That really is a beautiful bike, K. And you look fantastic on it! Please give us ongoing updates on your experience... I'm seriously thinking about getting a Quintana Roo next year and I'd love to hear how one gets used to riding aero like that.

Wow...it's a beauty!

And I also love the name "sting"...but being a Hobbit fan, I would.
