This morning I was poking around and found a picture of my new bike. Google is a wonderful thing. The one problem is its not really my bike, yet. I paid a deposit, but I still have to pay for the bike and pick it up. If anyone would like to contribute to the new charity I am establishing, we'll call this one the 'pay for Michael's bike charity'. Not to be confused with the 'pay for Michael's new home appliances charity' or the 'pay Michael's mortgage charity'... damn I really need to win the lottery.
In the mean time, don't use the Google Search in your tool bar, use the Google search at the top of my blog, if we all do that a few hundred billion times I just might have enough nickles saved up to buy a new roll of tape for the handle bars.
What a beauty isn't she?

Sweet looking ride. Roubaix is aluminium with cf seatstays and fork. That should make for a nice comfy ride. Every thought about riding a fixed gear beater bike in DT? I'm building one right now. An old Italian steel frame.
The '06 Roubaix Comp is full carbon frameset with elastomer inserts in the seatpost, fork, and seatstays, which together make for a light and very compliant ride. Very stable-feeling at all times, and fun to ride hard or not-so-hard. 105 gruppo except for ultegra front and rear derailleurs. I've had one of these bikes (same year and model) since new, have put about 1400 miles on it and I love it!
