Gorgeous bike, Mr. S. You must be so excited!!!
Hey you are really looking UBER SLEEK these days! I remember some of your older photos and what a difference. I got a kick out of reading your early weight loss blog entries.....all those South Beach diet bars!
I'm guessing you have improved in the nutrition dept. since then. No more egg whites with VELVEETA, hhmmmmmm? 
Lovely bike.Lisa

What a beautiful bike... I am a big fan of the Madone... AND it even matches your RoadID!
Now you just need a red/black/white jersey...
I wish you many happy miles together!Last edited by VeloVT; 08-01-2008 at 07:18 PM.

tygab: It's a '08 Madone 5.5. I had a few dilemmas:
- Get it or not? Fearing a huge '09 price increase, I did
- Where to get it? We have two LBS's that we're loyal to
- Get the 5.2 or 5.5? The 5.2 is not available in my short size
...would it become available? maybe...but if it doesn't, it puts me back in the price increase dilemma... - When it arrived yesterday, it had two chips in the paint
...should I get them to send a new frame or get a discount? I chose the discount...so between an LBS sale event and the discount, my cost is closer to a 5.2 priceand this makes Mr. Silver a very happy boy
