Wow, what a gorgeous bike! I would _die_ without a triple.

Thanks!
Thank you all for your replies
The saddle has to go (it's narrower than my sit bones even at its widest part), and I am still getting used to the Look-type clipless, but overall I love it and am completely happy
I am kind of debating having some cheater brakes (I guess they call them cross brakes now) installed also, but it's negotiable, since the Campy reach is so good. Any opinions on that?
Mimi--it's the 49 cm size. I rode the 44 also, but it was too small. The 49 feels just right
