Mr. Silver, congrats on the new ride. It's purty. I'm of two minds about this though. While I'm happy for you, I'm sad for me b/c I likely won't be able to keep up with you at the Horsey next year!
Enjoy the new bike! May you have many safe and fun miles on it!Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

Well, I'm currently planning to swap steel for Ti. I'm set to begin the fit process this October. More than likely, it'll be a Moots. Something still tells me, especially after your awesome ride at RAIN, that I still won't be able to keep up! Originally Posted by Mr. Silver

So Mr. S......how is your bike feeling when you ride it?? Tell us about the difference between it and your old bike. Can you tell yet, or is your body still adjusting?
(I know for me it took about 250 miles on my new bike before I could tell if it fit perfectly, since my body kept adjusting to it and we had some derailleur tweaking to do, etc.)Lisa

Kate, I don't buy it...you're a STRONG rider!
Lisa, I do like it a lot, but I am still adjusting:
- Compact Double: I need to do more pre-planning on my shifting as I hit hills. With my triple, I could get finer adjustments just with the chain ring...now I have to be more aware
- Front Derailleur: Still needs adjusting, so I'm not getting consistent "like slicing butter" benefit in the shifting with DuraAce
- Shoulders: not quite perfect yet - getting a little rhomboid discomfort; may need to flip the stem and/or adjust the handlebars or get a longer stem
- Seat: There's a new design on the Madone and I'm having trouble keeping it tight (and a friend who just got a Madone 6.9 has the same problem as well); twice on Sunday, my seat did a wheelie...but my bike didn't...
I have done some of my "favorite hills" in Bloomington this week - 10%+ grades - and I'm still holding a pace that is 7% to 10% better than my previous averages on the same route.If you don't grow where you're planted, you'll never BLOOM - Will Rogers
