Wow, gorgeous! She looks like a dream to ride. And I'm with everyone else, you will love riding her in Brown County. I'll be there (briefly) mid-Sept. When will you be there?

Took her out for a test ride last night and . . . . wow! So this is what it's like to ride a bike that fits!!!!!!!
Even with dead legs (the day before I did intervals AND rode with the kids = towing over 100 pounds) I managed to have one of my highest averages out on the trail. I was really tired, I spent more time in the saddle and my technique was lazy. I'll have to do a full review on how it rides after my recovery week next week.2005 Giant TCR2

Going over my bike and I noticed a nice surprise . . . LBS told me they needed to put on a longer seat post. Turns out they upgraded the Aluminum seat post to a Race XXX Lite (carbon)!
