New bike excitement

[Antaresia]

update:
I get the bike today.

Also, I just got a call from co-worker. Says he's looking at getting a new bike, and if he does I can have his old frame for free. He's the same size as me, so it would fit - old nikishi with missmatched green fork.

whhhhhhhhhy couldn't he have me this a week ago.

I'm piggy-backing on this thread rather than starting a new one because the title fits: I'm so excited!

As some of you know, I accidentally got back into cycling about two months ago and immediately fell in love. I traded in my impulse-buy Specialized Crossroads for a Trek FX 7.5 and have been riding as much as I can, up to 30-mile rides on the weekend so far, though I'm slow slow slow. Due to fit issues with the few road bikes I was trying out (thanks to all for the good ideas I got here), I got a professional fitting, learned I have weirdly long femurs, and went the custom geometry route with a Gunnar Sport. Six weeks later, it's ready! Sadly my work schedule won't allow me to go get it until Saturday morning, but I've broken in my Brooks B17 saddle (love it), and feel like a little kid waiting for Christmas morning! I haven't felt this happy anticipation in years, and can't wait to get on "my" bike.
