    My new bike has arrived!

    My LBS guru has finally finished building my bike. I'm not great yet in clipping in and out, but I did practice and it worked sometimes. I also am still learning how to use road bike gears rather than hybrid gears. Anyway, here is a picture of Gattamelata. The colors are actually brighter than in the photo but this was the best my phone camera could do in the light available. Click image for larger version.

    I love green. My road bike is green and it is very fast. I think that green is the fastest colour.

    Have fun with your new toy!!

    That's a sharp lookin' bike. Have to admit I'm turnin' a little green with envy. Can't wait until mine gets in. Enjoy her!
