[reply]Nice bike. But aren't you sick of seeing it EVERYWHERE?? ;-)



Actually, yes! It is on every magazine, website, etc. Will be CSCs main bike for the tour (and I think Basso et al. will have a lot of stage wins).

But - I'm hear to tell 'ya, there is most certainly a reason for it! I have been tempted to send it to Hot Tubes and have a nice custom paint job done. That way I get the awesome bike and I don't have to see it everywhere. I've only ever seen ONE at the local road races though (unlike my Litespeed Vortex that is truly everywhere!).

I really like your Mandaric and color too. But I'm afraid I've finally been a convert of the carbon bike thing (and I never thought I'd say that). Speed is king (for me at least), and that is why I bought the Soloist. No other reason.
