[Beane]

thanks everyone for the kind words. here's the details:

-Gunnar Roadie 54cm
-Campy 2007 compact 2x10 centaur group; 13/29 in rear.. I'm a hill slug
-wheels are 2006 record hubs laced 3 cross to Mavic Open Pros, DT double -butted spokes.. conti tires (p.s. thanks for the wheels mom!)
-reynolds ouzo comp fork
-cane creek headset (wanted a chris king but alas...)
-look keo classic pedals
-bontrager carbon seat post, specialized jett saddle (ouch! -- will hopefully change for next year)
-handlebars are bontrager fit VR -- these may also change as I think I may want bigger ones
-the stem is this cool specialized one that my new fav bike shop recommended- it has this neat little shim thing so that you can do 16 OR 8 degrees + or - . very cool I think.

In the end a little more than half of the bike was new and the rest was gently used. so far so good!

What a pretty bike and it looks great with the fall leaves.

Very Nice!!!! Is it black or purple-y black? Which conti tires?

It's technically called "candy plum over charcoal" and in brighter light/sunlight is much more purple/plum looking. The tires are conti ultra race... not GP4000 or attack/force, but beggars can't be choosers! .. and realistically for the riding I do, I doubt that I would notice a difference.

The color is beautiful!!!!!

[Starfish]

Is the bike steel?

The bars look small. Are they made for small hands?

How big are the CR?

Is this your first bike with Campy? Tell me about how the hoods feel to you!

Questions, questions!
