Thank you! I really enjoy my bike. My wife is very jealous. I come home from rides and all I talk about it my rides and how nice it is outside and seeing the countryside. Her bike is coming in the mail, hopefully this week so we can ride together. I don't know if she'll ride as much/often as I do but I hope she'll enjoy it as much as I do.
Like I said earlier, it's like being a kid again. People talk about how their butt gets sore or their muscles. I guess mine are sore...not really though. It really helps having a fitted bike. I used to have another road bike that was too big for my body-frame and would be sore and stiff (neck, shoulders, back ,etc). Now I just get on and ride, sometimes my rear-end was sore at first but after a few days it seemed to go away. Now I just can't wait to get out there and take it for a spin. Thanks again and keep riding!
Is your wife getting a bike as well ? Lucky her! Hope you remind her (constantly ) what a good husband she has!
Maybe another Trek, or a Cinelli of Colnago perhaps!
Actually I am not riding at the moment but I wish to get another bike and I'm looking at the moment! I'm a rower and I will use the bike for cross training! But I thought I may as well get a decent bike.
regards
Gavin

Hi I'll be sponsored the New Merida Carbon with 10sp Ultegra group set as soon as it arrives.
My personal bike is a Giant Carbon with 9sp Ultegra. I weight it with the Mavic Kysriums and it was 7.56kg.
This bike is very stiff and responsive (its a medium frame)
How do you think the Merida will compare with it?
