First time out of the neighborhood

First time out of the neighborhood
I do not have everything dialed in perfect yet but I rode my new Olmo to work today for the first time, it was also the first time out of the neighborhood.
I really love this bike. This is the nicest bike I have ever owned.

In the right lane
The initial ride around the neighborhood? That's classic. I usually do multiple until I have things reasonably solid. Don't want to walk the bike 10 miles home!
Unfortunately, I've never done the neighborhood ride on as nice a bike as you have. :jealous:

“New Olmo”? This has a very vintage look to
my eyes. Beautiful bike - never seen one before. Do you know its date? Brown accents make the blue frame ‘pop’!

Great looking Olmo! Every so often I get a bike that is truly impressive and feel much the same as the OP must feel. After years of finding great bikes, I have finally settled on a few that did, indeed, blow my kilt up. Problem is I never know when something new and considered better will come my way.
Anyway, great bike and I am wondering - did you build it up yourself or get it that way? As for dialing in, it takes me several rides to nail the best set-up. Have fun!

The bike suckered me in and didn't pay attention to the date!

I am sure it happened to all of us. It certainly happened to me more than once. If anything, it is a sign that people post a lot of nice bikes on this forum.

Hopefully, it wasn’t the last time out in the neighborhood.
