Oh it wont be too squished with me, im not the biggest guy in the world! I can take the window and squish myself over giving you guys plenty of room or i can take middle and have enough space for you two.

Just need enough bike hook ups, my bike can't handle tie downs because of the shape of the handle bars and all, it needs one of those little things you hook the forks up to

The 2200 is a nice bike for $1300 and has carbon seat stays and forks - does this take a sizeable amount of vibration out of the ride?

The Madone 5.2 comes in black as well as team colours - thankfully!
Jax Irvine on Sand Canyon has a Madone 5.5 demo bike that you can borrow. Call there and ask for Pat or jermaine. Tell them that I sent you down. They're cool. You can try my Trek Road bike anytime.

Yes, I don't think I could handle very long distances without a carbon fork. I personally like an all carbon bike, but the younger guys/gals don't d seem to be bothered much by aluminum/carbon combo's.

Hey my bike with the carbon fork is the most carbon i have ever had on a bike. It was a steep up from my steel paramount.

What I don't know wont hurt me right? Once i get my first carbon frame, im doomed! The Cervelo P3C looks pretty good....pretty pricey too!
