Cervelo (just the aluminum frame, not the full-carbon toy). Quite the ride. The frame features some of the most amazing aero work ever produced, and the rest of the bike is just... nice.

For a Danish-Canadian like me, the bike is extra special of course; made in Canada and ridden by CSC, the Danish-owned team lead by ex-Tour winner Bjarne Riis.

Finally got this thing after weeks' and weeks of waiting -- the demand for these has apparently out-stripped supply, so my (not so) local bike shop (Fitwerx in Waitsfield, VT) had to work hard to get one from another dealership. The Fitwerx pros do a great job custom fitting you for a bike -- but you pay a price for all that's nice.

Time to retire the old hand-me-down Klein (thx, Kirk) that I've used extensively this season. It's last big ride was my trip from Vermont to Cape Cod... more about that in a bit.
