My new bike(frame at least!)
Can't Post
I went today and put my deposit on my new bike frame for next year- I will be picking it up in a month, and getting components on it as quick as possible to get ready for the winter training and next years racing!
Kestrel Airfoil Pro :) 56cm

I'm excited, now on to ebay land to find components- and wheelbuilder to get a rear disc cover built!

Congrats. New toys are always fun. Is this frame a big upgrade from your old one?

It's not about the bike, it's just along for the ride.

Congrats..that is a sick bike..you should really be happy with that.
I am waiting on the 4000 next spring, it is just a little bigger than the airfoil or else I would have gone with that
Again, congrats..can't wait to see final pics.

Well, long story made short- I had an aluminum Guru crono that was a bit big for me- and I couldn't get around the fit issues- this fall, someone stole my mountain bike, so I used my GF small frame size MTB for my couple off road duathlons. This will be my first Carbon Fiber bike, and since its just a frame, I get to look into parts for it! We shall see, I do know that I am running speedplay pedals, and a carbon compact crankset of some sort.

Yep, It had been sitting up there a while, I was worried that when I had the layaway money that it would have sold a week ago or something, but it was there- I had gone up every couple months to see that it was there- so now its got my name on it, and my lovely fiance has to put up with having 3 or 4 ebay windows plus slowtwitch classifieds up!

That is 11 dimensions of awesome. Yes, string theory is necessary to fully appreciate the meta-nature of your post.-DaveRoche

that bike, which i for one in my infinite lack of wisdom have never even heard of before, has definately gotten sexier. she's even better looking today than yesterday!

Alright, I think I decided on some parts- Looks like an FSA SLK compact crankset, Cobb V flow Max saddle, and I would love to get the oval concepts A921 jetstream basebar, but we'll see about that- its in the same category as the H3CD I want for my front wheel, kinda out there price wise.
