Hi Rob01... good luck on the 20 lbs. And good luck on the climbing.

So now that it's springtime here in PA and the weather is beautiful for biking I decided it was time to go bike shopping. Last summer I put slicks on my mtb and took it out on the road to see if I liked road cycling. Well it turns out I did. So I put the fat tires back on the mtb for good last fall and made the decision to buy a road bike.
After riding and re-riding and re-re riding a bunch of bikes... here's the one I chose. I picked it up on Thursday.... now the weather needs to get nice again so I can pile on the miles!
It's a CANNONDALE R700 TRIPLE. The components are Ultegra/105 and I think I'll be really happy with it!
