Seriously!! Riding my other bike, the Pinarello Gan feels like it's cheating in the winds and road resistance, cross wind or head wind. But mostly head winds!!
I wish I knew about this voodoo magic called aero bikes LONG time ago
You got you PIna for $500 cheaper then I did, THAT is not fair!! good timing too cuz all they have is 47s and 52s. Nothing manly sized anymore

That's closer than Taiwan!!!
Is it bad I've lost count of the weeks since I ordered it now so they can make up dates?

Beer does not make waiting easier.
At least the weather is crap, so I'd have had to figure how to get a thru'axle disk bike on the trainer. Zwift is my friend, as I try and get my FTP remotely right WITHOUT doing an actual 'oh look your pelvis exploded' FTP test.
Sure I am no longer at 3.6 W/kg!!

a) of course beer helps! Beer helps with nearly everything.
b) We were in Italy 17 years ago on a family vacation with my 10 mo. old daughter and we were supposed to check her car seat at some special oversize luggage checking counter at Malpensa airport in Rome (which is the very picture of Roman efficiency, I assure you). Naturally, after waiting in line to check in for 2.5 hours (not kidding) there was nobody at this other counter and a security guard walking by said "oh, they're just on a coffee break, they'll be back in 5 min."... which made me think, how does she know? And is that 5 american minutes or 5 Italian minutes? We just took it with us through security and the gate lady made us gate check it, which worked out just fine for us. Never did see the gents at the oversize luggage counter. Maybe they're out riding your bike.

Look what adrenaline bikes has: pick your own drive train. No idea if they're actually in stock or not though.
