Thanks, I'll probably say some more about it once I get it here - I'm planning on bringin' the pain quite a bit once that gets here. Time to go into "suicide mode" with training. I know it's a big investment - especially for a guy who's still in "base mile building" mode rather than doing crits or group rides or hardcore interval training or anything yet, but I need a little pick-me-up right now. Plus it's a damn good motivator to ride. A lot. Which is what I want/need.

+1 on the Ultegra stuff. I like it a lot; my wife's bike that I built for her has all Ultegra stuff and it's awesome quality.

I'll let you know in another week or so how it is. Hopefully I can get it delivered here by next weekend, clean it up, tune it, tweak it, etc. and go for my first ride next Saturday. Here's hopin'...
