    my camera does the color no justice. think old school crest toothpaste.

    *it is a kind of happiness.

    sacha interpreted my desire to have him 'make it neurotic like me' by making it twitchy the way i like it but stable the way he likes it.... and its a nice place to be. i'll write about it after i've had it for a few weeks and have it dialed and have had a chance to push it around.

    awesome. i've seen it in the flesh, and the color is sublime and chalk full of flouride. the white logos creep up on you as you approach the bike.

    can't wait to read the red 'speedvagen' logo on the rear stay tomorrow when you drop me on mandeville.

    but i think you need to swap that stem for something more befitting of steel.

    that stem is like putting a stronglight crank on a steel bike.

    ditch it.

    josh, pls go to the emergency room .. have them make sure the stinger is out and that you don't implode.

    think of it a steroids (the shot) for your sprint.

    Those aren't Hudz, they're just like Campy hoods except in white. Same rubber, feeling, and fit.

    Very nice. Worthy of the cup party celebration. You'll need more than just a paper cup, though. Congrats.

    ps, the whole campy red thing is stupid. thank goodness they cost the same. it a slightly stiffer spring... there's no quality to it except.. 'lets get the bozos to buy out existing stock before we change models'. it just takes a little more thumb.
