The only left to do now is get back into the truck, and slam the gas pedal!

Nice. There's nothing like a Klein paintjob!

Hey, there's something wrong with those handlebars and those tires are just way too skinny. Looks
like something only fit for pavement....obviously Santa made a grevious error. I'm sorry you had to
wake up to such an abomination on Christmas day. Let us know if there's anything we can do.

Sweet! My wife gave me this: (HAC4 cyclometer) http://www.ciclosport.de/eng/html/katalog/hac4t.htm

For the bike I bought a few months ago for the cyclocross season... which will temporarily become
mostly a road bike after this weekend (last local 'cross race) until next 'cross season:

I never thought I'd enjoy riding road... until I tried it. But there will always be that special
something about mountain biking. You just can't beat riding sweet singletrack.

If you promise not to tell. It's like this. The older we get the harder it is to find a suitable
Christmas present and ......

Thanks. I liked the carbon fork, carbon seat stays, and the full Ultegra components best. I like the
bright orange color so drivers can see me. You're correct about the paint job (and also the welds).

Those wheels are nice but I don't think they're going to hold up at Regency.

I like road biking, but I definitely like mountain biking a lot better. Though now when the local
trails are wet, I can still "ride".

Which Regency are you talking about, Regency Park here in Cary, NC? Yes one of my favorite trails.
Hmmm, I'll think I'll ride them tomorrow...

I want you to speed over to Raleigh and the Crabtree Valley Mall and back. You back yet ? You can
keep that skinny tire, nice red bike.
