Birthday Present from my gorgeous wife!

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Since it was a surprise gift, the LBS did want to cut the steerer until after it was fitted.

think next year she'll finally get you that Championship jersey?
