Absolutely beautiful! Congratulations! Love the first picture!

I love Cervelo's. I ended up getting an Orbea, but Cervelo was my other consideration! They're just beautiful bikes!

Gorgeous!!!!!! You look awesome and very fit on it! Go get those hills (and decents, and winds on a cervelo!!!)

**maillotpois** · 03-14-2010, 07:20 PM

yay! i am so glad the gearing and everything is working well for you.

eta: remember, my small is a 29 so I never really intended it for this sort of ride.

Someone decided I needed a race bike. I had no idea he had ordered it until it showed up yesterday. And then I totally dropped him on the last climb of yesterday's ride.

I'm taking it up Diablo tomorrow, just to the Junction. It will be interesting to see how I feel doing it with a standard compact double and no mountain rear cassette. My Rivendell Legolas has a 46-33 in the front and 11 - 34 in the back. The Cervelo is a 50-34 and a 12 - 25 in the back. That means I've lost all my little gears. When I'm in the 34 - 25, it's comparable to being in the 46 - 34. Not that I've ever ridden in that gear, 'cause I'd be seriously cross chained.

Hmm.. between you and sarah.. i think we need a new bike tire warming party up here in the nor cal area

)

then you two can drop the peeps like me with your new rides

let us know how you're liking it over the riv. curious about the juxtaposition.

Ah, another Riv disciple bites the dust.

I'm still getting used to those new-fangled brifter thingies ... I occasionally have a brain farte and shift the wrong way.

Apart from that, I like them a lot.

Still haven't parted with my Brooks saddle though, it works well for me.

And what a great surprise gift from Thom!
