I'm noticing that Brant's bike & Mocky's S2000 both have the same wheel size/diameter.

I'm bringing this forward, just in case any CornerChick missed this.

I'm saying I changed my mind, I'm now listening to Diamond Rio's Greatest Hits.

I'm telling you that I have a 57cm steel framed bike built by Quintana Roo. It was called the Highway 101. Lemme see if I have a pic someplace...



Of course it's orange!


I'm also undecided about CF for a frame... love it as a material but not sure if it's right for a bike frame.

I'm with you on that. Before I bought the house, I was able to save roughly 45% of my take home pay which helped me with the 20% down. Now I'm hoping for 10% savings a month.
12% better than the average american


I'm at about 7% and that leaves the margins pretty thin.

I'm wondering if there's another color it could have been?

Seriously, I'm a HUGE fan of this bike! Nice steel frame. Pretty comfy on longer rides for a "race" bike. A bit flexy in the bottom bracket when I stand up and crank on it, but it hasn't been much of a problem...and I'm a pedal masher on the climbs!

It's a full Ultegra setup and has proven to need amazingly little mechanical maintenance over the time I've owned it.
