NEW BIKE and NEW INK! :-)

Howdy!!!  Yesterday I was at Providence Bike Shop putting my deposit on my new TRI BIKE....


I had a fitting over the weekend.  Which was really cool.  You sit on a special bike that is adjustable in all ways..and you ride.  As you ride there are sensors on your body and it is recorded.  As you tell the person what feels right and  they try different levels of the seat and peddles and aero bars..etc...


I am very nervous because this is A LOT of money!!!!  Especially for EL CHEAPO!!!! Queen of the Deal!!! How much can I take off that price???? But it is really a nice bike!!!  And the color is one of my favorites!!!   Can we say just a little PINK!!!!!  Gonna have to find Pink bar tape though!!!!

The CD0.1 Ultegra uses QR’s exclusive 18 millimeter offset downtube SHIFT that diverts concentrated airflow away from the drive side to produce a true measurable bike-course advantage for every athlete at every level. 

Features include:

• Premium modulus carbon fiber construction
• Ultegra components
• ISM Adamo saddle
• Shimano R500 Wheels
