That's a gorgeous ride! You should be very happy... except for those times... like now... with snow on the ground. But hey, you can just sit and look at it and bask in the glow.

Nothing beats being on the road of course, but off season work on a trainer is the next best thing. I like to use the Spinerval videos to train to. I find that it keeps the heart rate up and keeps me on the bike for a longer workout. I could never ride indoors for an hour and a half just watching the tube or listening to tunes.

ur onto a winner there! The frame is pukka! The wheels however r but an asthetic illusion! They look nice but however r a bit on the heavy side. None the less a rookie like urself should b A ok so chin up ride hard soldier!

It's a 54cm Zaskar race frame by GT. I think it is a 2000 model. (Yellow blue and red is the color scheme). Componants are:
Full Dura Ace
Thompson Elite alum. seat post
Race Face titanium BB
Easton ec90 carbon fiber handle bars
Speedplay Ti pedals
Rolf vector comp wheels /w Conti 700x20c ulta 2000 tires
ITM Millennium stem
Cane Creek S5 head set
Trico split rail adjustable saddle (for the man jublies)
Standard GT edge forks
Then various other small Titanium parts (like bolts and things).
Thanks for asking! (:

If it said the size was too big when you tried to upload the image, check the size and reduce until it fits. If you have not tried, click on IMG and go to location of picture. Size seems to be the biggest problem for me. It takes me a few times to get it down to the size of file that fits.

Good Luck!!

His name isn't David, is it? He hasn't quite got the torso length yet, but the position and kit is just about right.

That size problem of yours sounds like a good one to have.
