Got A New Ride



After selling my old gigantic Felt road bike I am once again back in the club. I picked up my new Pinarello FP2 last night, it is a 60cm and I had the Ultegra-SL switched out with a mix of SRAM Force/Rival. Also thanks to Drew at Endure It! I had the stem switched out to a MOst carbon all for no additional cost.

Going to give it a go tomorrow at the morning Computrainer class to see how things feel. Looking forward to comparing how I feel on this setup compared to the Cervelo P2C and can't wait to get both bikes outside once this dreadful winter is over.

Still waiting on a few things, I ordered a ProLogo Choice saddle in black and some Ultegra pedals.
The plan is to mix up the riding. Ride the Tri bike on the weekends for the long training rides and to use the road bike a couple of times a week for the trainer sessions. I also plan to use the road bike to ride to work when I can, as I have done it on the Cervelo and is not find to tri and ride aero with a 30lb backpack on.

How was the new bike? I think I'm going to hit up tomorrows run on the treadmill. 13 miles on the treadmill should build some character, hoping the weather breaks soon!
