I didn't plan on buying a new road bike today. I just put a Surly Pacer together last spring. But this is a nice addition to the stable

You wont' be sorry . The Chris/Slim Chance bike is sooo amazing.
I had to give up the road for good. I have what I call "car-fear". It stopped being any fun for me. I still get to take mine around the block now and again. It was far and away the coolest road bike I've ever ridden, better than a Merlin Cielo even.

The ride went well. I put 45 in on it Saturday. Mostly hills up and down. This bike is so responsive !! I really dig it. Sunday I rode w/ the wife and got in 38 on the bike trail. Just so unbelievably comfy. Really glad I bought "The Chris" as its become known as at the house:D
Hey UpChuck is that the same Slim as jh4rt had??

Yeah, it's the same bike. We live in the same area. He let me ride it around the block after we got done riding our Yo's and I wouldn't let him have it back. So now she's in my stable.
I fully agree about the "responsive" ride. Compared to my modern road bike, this thing feels like a slot car. Superfast in the turns!

Haaha ! My buddy has one in the same color combo as my Wicked ( Chameleon Mettalica) and if it was my size I woulda done had a matching pair!! But the blue is growing on me, the paint on it is flawless:D:D
