Very nice! I have the 800 and I'm really happy with it, would love to upgrade to the 900 though.

I don't know, you look like you're coming down with something. You may want to call in sick for a couple days...

Congrats on the new frame, it is pretty!

Thats gotta be a great feeling, pulling that shiny new frame out of the box. I'd sit and stare at it for a quite a long time, imagining the countless ways of building her up.

Nice. My favorite color, too. And +1 on the sick call thing. Tell 'em you've got a wicked case of allergies, and don't want to be sneezing all over everyone at work. Hard to disprove...

When I got my ParkPre frame, I brought it up to my home office and sat it on the floor next to my desk. Every now and then I'd stop working, pick it up, look at something on it, then put it down and get back to work. Frame crush.

That frameset is definitely Red worthy.

+100. Very interested to know how easy/hard the internal cable routing system on this frame is to work with?

Ive still yet to start the build but as you can see from the pics there are dummy sleeves fed through the frame from the factory. No cable housing is routed through the tubes, and all barrel adjusters and cable ends/pass throughs are included.

It isn't too bad at all, especially with the dummy housings installed. When I switched to SRAM on my RT800SL I didn't have the dummy housings. Without them it only took me a few extra minutes on each to fish the cables through the frame. It just takes a little patience.
