FedEx delivery today, it's on truck!! But they're replacing the 1930's era infrastructure and today's work includes our driveway.
Ahhh, NY. The super rides a Trek he bought from the equipment operator who now rides a Pinerello. When FedEx gets stopped at the end the block, they'll come get me.

BTinNYC Hey, it's a new bike.... I think I'd be there at the barricade to meet FedEx so they don't just blow on by!
JohnDThompson So where did they leave the note if there was a bear in the driveway?

No bears in the driveway!
They crew pointed FedEx to the house, driver walked the box half a block, and I have my 4th new bicycle.
1. Sears 3 speed, '68ish,
2. Varsity for my 12th birthday '72,
3. Motobecane Nomade, '81, bought during college and still in regular rotation,
4. Endurace SL with all the goodies, my saddle and tape.

I guess the FedEx driver knew how nice that bike was and made the extra effort. Congratulations on the new purchase. I haven't bought new since my Trek 800 Antelope in 1994!
Bear in the drive way, that's too funny. Probably better a bear than a moose!

And OP, that's a nice looking bike! Can it handle the road construction on your street?
