Rode the Madone 2.0. I really enjoyed it. The shifting is off but not enough to really have affect on the ride. Race maybe.
Need to slide the seat maybe 2 mm forward, and I recently bought a 120 mm stem with 17 drop, Im thinking I might need to go 110 or maybe even 100.
The 44 cm bars really didn’t bother me all that much. would like to switch them out at some point in the future.
Only gripe, something felt loose at random times during the ride. I checked everything so I can’t figure it out.

Of course, a black car is only ever clean once.

Agreed! People here twisted my arm by putting money in my hand. However, this is one of the coldest and longest winters since records have been kept, and when people complain about 40F temperatures it seems a little hard to swallow.

On the other hand I don’t know how any of you guys live where you live. Extreme heat, extreme cost of living, too much snow, too much rain, cracked roads.

It's hideous. At least from front on. side view (as long as you can't see the grill) would be ok.

In other news, still in laptop quarantine. Apparently an update just failed and then got into a locked state. Eventually level2 support called me (while I was in PT, of course) and fired off a request to uninstall FF. It failed, so I got back to still being locked down. Spent an hour on the phone with him just now getting it to even connect to him (he could see me but not connect) to manually remove it. The next step was going to be to go into a branch and plug in.
After I move I'll have to introduce myself at the Boulder branch. JFC.

Sorry that came off like a jerk, wasn’t being serious.

I worked with a guy for 10 years and he had one that looked just like the pic, same color, not a scratch on it. It was not his daily driver, he had several other cars in the time I knew him but he spent a butt-load of money on that Camaro. It was like an emotional outlet for him. When he would get really down he would dump money into the car. He bought a factory 383 high performance engine for it and was never happy with the power. One time he was upset about something with his parents so he bought all the stuff to convert the car to rear disc brakes. After that was done he just put the car away until the next crisis.
