    After much consideration and peer pressure I finally decided to build up my Seven road frame I got for a great from Maxwell and Path.

    Neil at adrenaline is in the process of building it up. Big thanks to Jim at adrenaline for a great deal on parts and Neil for building it. Think I'll have to run to bev'more for you guys one of these saturdays. What were you guys drinking again?

    Anyhow....here are some teaser picture of the frame. Once I get the full bike I'll post up better pictures.

    Let the road bike madness begin......BTW I know this sounds crazy but this is my first maybe last road bike.......on second thought it probably won't be my last.:p:-s

    I'm going on Sunday I think you can make it. If you keep sandbagging like this we're gonna have to call you Nam.

    I can only aspire to sandbag like master Nam!

    Sandbagging is a religion, lifestyle, the ying and yang, the chi, a zen like inner peace state of being! A mere mortal like you could not understand.:lol:

    Duke777 you need to break that Ti bike's cherry by riding to SD on Sunday. If you get tired, just draft behind Nam. I'm sure he'll never let you forget that you drafted behind a guy on a singlespeed roadie while riding a blinging Seven Ti bike!

    Dang, my roadie pricing needs recalibration.

    One day, I'll know the sweet feel of Ti between my legs.

    I got a great deal on the frame and fork but yeah it's a bit over 4k. Never the less the rider is still not worthy to ride even $1000 road bike.

    Carl...are you going to ride to SD? I heard you bailed too.

    I'm out. Back injury, haven't been cleared yet to get back on the bike. I'll be seeing Paul Kariya's therapists tomorrow to start rehab.

    Should help I think. My current regiment of lying on the floor eating ice cream and playing video games isn't working out very well.

    I supposed to do the amtrack century in a month.
