She's just trying to pull a fast one on us all to make us jealous of her 'new bike'.

That made me laugh! I hadn't even noticed the gigantically humongoid clock in the background (yes, that's a made up word I just created for this post). Now when I look at the bike, all I can think of is a toy...
I have that bike in a size 48cm. In real life it really does look like a toy bike compared to my DH's 56cm bike.

Congrats on your new bike! I love the color scheme. Just looking at it it just "feels" light as a feather. I hope you fly fast on your rides. Enjoy.

Maybe it's pregnant and about to give birth to lots of little bottles!

It's a slim line bottle. It's not as wide as a regular bottle and shaped funny so you can grab onto it while riding. It's super slim to be more aerodynamic.

Although the thought of it being pregnant with little baby bottles made me laugh. Funny!

Hi all! I've been short on time, but thanks for the thoughts on my new bike.

A few answers:

It's a He, all my bikes are. My bikes are all named by model and "The," "The 1000," "The Madone," and this one will be "The P2"

It's a 56cm 2009 Cervelo P2 Ultegra SL.

So far all is stock:

Fork - 3T Funda Pro
Seatpost - Cervélo aero carbon
Shift Levers - Shimano DuraAce Bar-ends
Front Derailleur - Shimano Ultegra SL
Rear Derailleur - Shimano Ultegra SL
Cassette - Shimano Ultegra 12-25
Chain - Shimano Ultegra
Brake Calipers - Cervélo Mach 2
Brake Levers - Vision Aero Levers
Crankset - Gossamer MegaExo Compact
Bottom Bracket - FSA Gossamer MegaExo
Headset - Cane Creek
Stem - Visiontech Sizemore
Basebars - Visiontech
Aerobars - Visiontech
Saddle - Selle San Marco Island Tri

I have a Dura Ace 27-11 casstte on order. My American Classic 420 wheels on it. Ultegra SL pedals. Cateye Strada wireless. Profile Design Aero bottle on the downtube and profile design aero 2 bottle holder on the saddle.

I dont' think this saddle will make the cut though. I'll give it a couple miles before making the decision.

Friday Afternoon I drove the 3 hours to St. Louis to pick it up. I was there 3 hours getting fitted on it. Then I drove the 4 hours to Bloomington. Spent Sat there, went to Indy for a dinner and then back to Boomington for the night and now back in Newburgh (2 hours). Been a whirlwind.

And I haven't ridden it yet. One part in the headset had to be glued and set for 24 hours prior to being tightened down. I can't wait!!!!

more info soon.

Sweet ride! The next time I see a silver streak, I'll know it's you.

So it IS a compact!
I was wondering if it was.....
I didn't realize DA had a 11-27 cassette. That's cool. I assume it's a 10 speed?
I'd love that range for my ID8, which also has a compact, and I'm running a 12-25 currently.
