We got our first Fuji Transonic into the shop on Friday. We're fighting over who gets to build it. Who will it be? Will it be me?
News at eleven.

Fuji claims that the Transonic has it all - aero, lightweight, stiffness. I can't attest to any of that, since I didn't get to ride it. It's already spoken for and it was raining, so no test ride.

Only if the game you are playing is called Aero. If the game is Weight, then Weight is trump. You know just like with card games like Hearts and Spades.

Don't need to. I would just mount the bike in front of the computer monitor with Addiction on the screen. Plenty enough hot air here.

The point where I took the photo from is one of the eastern-most foothills of the rockies. Behind me its mountainous for... I don't know, 250 miles? And obviously ahead of me it's flat for a thousand.

Pretty good day on the bike. 40 miles on the mountain bike, then for some reason I accepted an offer to go on a road ride. So I did another 25 on that.
What about you all?
