Took it for it's maiden voyage and man, is that thing fast. It feels great. The seat's a bit firm for my liking, but the thing is amazing.
Side note.. the chain snapped on my commute earlier today. Definitely not a good sign. I was pissssssed. I walked it back to the shop and they where appalled as well. It was assembled by a different store and shipped complete for me, so it wasn't anyone at my store. They promised to go after the guy that built it and they gave me free SRAM chain (bam $60). They also rechecked all the derailleurs before I went out on my ride. I'm ok with that. Shifts like buttahhhhhhh now.

Everything's 10 now Mikey - IIRC, Campy even introducted an 11 at this year's Tour

Edited for later comments
I'm going on my first long ride with a group this weekend. What do I *need*?
-Saddle pack to hold stuff
-Extra Tube
-Tire pullers
-Little air cannister
-some money
-id
-credit card
-phone
-cliff bar or two
-full water bottle (maybe add a second cage)
-shorts (catch me, fuck me)
Maybe a jersey if there's a good deal. Too much? Anything else?
- .RJ - 07-16-2008
Pack a powerbar in the little bag too. You have 2 water bottles/cages? If so add a 2nd. You definitely want shorts or your boys will be numb pretty quick.

RJ loves his catchme-fuckme shorts
- .RJ - 07-16-2008
So what you're saying is, you love when I wear them?
- Mike - 07-16-2008
bring a credit card as well. if you're already bringing an id, it's nothing added.
- JackoliciousLegs - 07-16-2008
updated the list.. btw. I'm a skinny bitch and I will look as such in my shorts.
- Mike - 07-16-2008
a multi-tool if you have one, but you can likely rely on someone else having one.
- .RJ - 07-16-2008
Powebars pack easier in those little under seat bags than clif bars do - the downside is they taste like a poop bar.
- Ginger0 - 07-16-2008
If you'd stop riding around in a t shirt, you might not have to pack a power bar that little bag....
