LOL. Well, not a "Jake the Snake", but I came home with a Ridley X-BOW. Yes, lower components but it seemed to fit much better. The Jake was a better deal since it was last year's model, but after going over the geometry, it was the biggest bike out there. Not sure where the Ridley bikes land in coolness or reliability, but so far I really like the bike. I'd better like it cause I'm stuck with it now..LOL.

I may need to change out the drop bars. They feel awfully long and too short at the drops. The bike itself might fit, but the addition of longer/shorter drop bars is a big factor. I'd like to change the bars to Woodchipper 2's, but not sure how it would affect the handling. He said I might need a shorter stem as well.
