Durable indeed, this thing is definitely a tank despite being relatively light. It will definitely be enough to get through my first race anyway.

My first REAL bike was a Schwinn--red and fast.

I've been riding a 1989 Cannondale SR800 road bike for the last 7 years. It is old school no carbon, all alluminum with the shifters on the down tube. I paid $350 for it on ebay. It still rocks.

They still want money....plus, they try and I like the attention! Damn, I've only bought four bikes from them all already plus another from one of their employees. I was very close to buying an Orbea Line brand new from a friend who got it at an auction. I could have had it for $650 with Shimo 105's. Very nice bike so if I can turn that down, I must not be ready.

I did get new tires for the season for the old cannondale. They are blue and kinda match my bike. That will make it go faster! right?

I do live - I've been busy lately  so I just make sure I post my runs. But now that I FINALLY have joined the 21st century and subscribed to internet at home - and got a day off work - I'm here!! Yay!
