My, she is a very sexy sleek bike.
Love the colour coordination.
Yes, it's a real 'yum' looking bike.

My New Flatty
Nice looking bike!! As you have noticed, the groups below Dura Ace do indeed shift nice. The adjustments on the higher end are much finer, and may be lighter, but it all shifts well.
AS for your average speed, as they say" it's all about the motor". Have fun with your new bike and now it is something you'll have no problem recommending it to one of your customers!!

Although I think the bike is 'yum', I don't really know what a flat bar roadie is?
I know what a road bike is and I know what a mountain bike is and that's about it...........doh!
HELP.

Hey Sally-
YES I owe you an email!
Anyway, a flat bar road bike is just that... A road bike with 700c wheels, and a flat bar and shifters like a mountain bike.
Imagine a road bike and a mountain bike getting together for some lovin- and that's what results.
When I'm riding her I feel like I'm on my mtn bike- just going really really fast!
I love it.
A couple of funny asides.
I've almost killed myself a couple of times because I think my brakes are on my bar ends. You see I have bullhorns on my tri bike, so I'm used to grabbing for the brakes there...
Also the new bike has 700c wheels and the tri bike has 650's, so I feel like I'm way higher than I should be. And clipping in and out has been a bit sketchy.

Oo! Oo! PINK!!!!!
I thought about calling my bike Pinky. I had settled on Baby, cause that's just what I kept calling her, but lately I've been thinking about either Pinky or Caddy (cause she's a Cannondale CAAD9).
Anyways, congrats on the pink bike!!! She's purdy.
