Don't make me go back to the computer repair place.
Hot tea in my laptop I could explain. Drool, not so much.

Wow!
Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

Beautiful! And I'm very envious of your Campy Chorus...had that on a bike years ago (the one I crashed on). That was a sweet group. Loved the shifting (also had a 34-50 compact).

Thanks all! I didn't get to ride today due to weather, but rode my Klein on the trainer. It made me realize the difference in fit and I think I need a lower rise stem on the Wilier (it's 34 degrees, I think). My Klein has no rise and I do like it better. I don't want to flip the stem because it would make the saddle to handlebar drop too drastic. I have the max spacers on there too, so lots of room to adjust. I just can't wait to have a good day to get in a nice long ride - probably Wednesday - and be able to do some more thoughtful evaluation before heading back to the store.
Emily - I have 10 speed Chorus on my Klein and 8 speed on my LeMond and well... spoiled for Campy I suppose as the bikes without it just didn't do it for me. The custom build process was a blast and in the end got exactly what I want. I will say that going from 10 to 11 is more of a difference than I thought it would be, but I'm also coming from a standard 39/53 crank, too.
Giulianna - I certainly don't average 20 by myself, so if I waited for that, it could be a long wait. And this bike won't make me any faster, only riding and training will do that, but I will have an awfully fun time working toward that kind of goal!!
