I have to say, I'm really impressed by the ride. It's certainly quite a bit more compliant than my last aluminum/carbon craft, without feeling even a bit flexy. Tim Jackson and the folks at Masi did an incredible job on this frame.
I'm glad I got a fork with a steel steerer rather than carbon; it allowed me to use a taller headset spacer, which I can already tell is going to help my long-ride comfort a lot. It also makes the drops much more comfortable to ride in, so I'll be able to use them more often. I got some new, non-ergo-drop bars that I really like, too. I never used the "ergo" part of the drop anyway; I just ride on the flat bottom part of the drop. With old-school round drops, I have a much longer area to rest my hands.
And are those orange wheels sweet or what? If you want me custom-build you some wheels with colored rims, let me know.

That's got to be one of the coolest bikes ever. Wow, where can I get one of those? I'll pay whatever price too because it is the best bike ever made! I'm in love...
(Too much?)
Thanks man. I hope it proves to be the bike of your dreams. I love mine. I just wish I got to race it more this year... danged work keeps getting in the way. Oh well, at least YOU get to ride.
Sweet hoops.
Those orange velocitys are the bomb!
Actually the whole bike turned out great (if only you would lose the antique saddle) ;)
Are those the grey centaur levers on there???
