I bought a bike, not a building.
Actually, I gave Tom at GVH all of my measurements from the custom bike fit. I put the bad boy together, took it to my LBS for very minor tweaking and it rides like a dream.
I went out with a local C Ride and was just LOVING it. About twenty miles in, a faster group came flying past us. My ride leader said "Hey Rob. You're feeling pretty strong today. Why don't you see if you can go with them?"
I declined but he kept insisting (probably wanted to get rid of me). "See if you can do it." At this point they were pretty far up a small hill. I decided what the heck and hammered it. The bike just jumped up and went with me. I caught them and we averaged about 17mph for the last ten miles home. This bike is Sweet!
No snow yet, just declining daylight and too much office time.
I usually ride into November around Thanksgiving - but that's on a mountain bike on singletrack in the forest where speed and wind aren't as influential factors. The road bike has been retired evey year in September, each time with a vow that I will ride it into the winter, each time it never sees daylight until March of the following spring.
It is mandatory on the forums that i have been involved with previously!!!!!!
You can never mention, or introduce, or adopt, or anoit, or cristen a new sled without showing a picture very soon after. In fact, it really should acompany the annoncement. Hope I'm not over steeping my newbie forum status boundaries.
Let's see the custom. I am always activly interested in the customs. I someday intend to own one, once the finances are in order and the research has been satisfied.
