    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!

    Gorgeous! I like the color. You might still get a ride or two in before the snow flies! You can't just wait until spring, can you?

    I have it on good authority that the first salt spraying weather in Wisconsin won't be for a couple of weeks...the day before I take delivery on my Waterford, of course So, you've taken it out, right? How does it ride?

    What a beautiful bike! You are very welcome for the wheels. As soon as I figure out how to insert a photo in a posting, my new bike can make its debut on TE. Thanks so much for introducing me to steel frames - I am so happy with my bike, and I never would have made the switch if you hadn't given me a little push. With a little bit of luck and a LOT of hard work, I should be ready to tackle Colorado with you next summer!

    I have taken it out on a couple VERY short rides but I think it'll be relatively warm tomorrow. Assuming I get my work done I should be able to get in a ride. It is soo smooth... and soo light!

    Ah Mom, your bike is such a funny shape to me. Can you tell that we have the same length legs but you've got several more inches in the torso ?!

    That shape looks great to me!

    Yes! It is Waterford's blend which, I gather, is primarily True Temper OX platinum.

    Also yes, which is why I may change them.. not enough places for me to position..

    Yes. I had no problem with Shimano, but I really really liked the campy silver cranks and then after I did some reading found that campy can be repaired whereas shimano needs to be replaced. And I like the look of the campy parts. I found that it wasn't more expensive than shimano so I gave it a shot. So far so good. I've tried to shift with the brake levers a few times, but otherwise an easy switch.

    So far I like them but feel a little less stable when standing on the pedals since there's less of a hood to grip. I hardly ever stand up (not sure if this is good or bad) so I'm not too worried about it. Also, since these handlebars only have single cable routing there's an awkward bump just before the hood (another reason I may want to switch them out).

    Lurve the colour... I was going to ask for a description too!

    Can you get a pic for us in more sun that shows off the colour more?

    "I will try again tomorrow".
