NO LOVE HANDLES ALLOWED!

'It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.' Theodore Roosevelt 23 April 1910

Well it's new to me...

Ignore the wheels, they're not included, just the frameset. A nice shade of blue, looks fantastic in the sunlight.

So I now have a dilemma. Do I build this up with 9-speed 105 as a winter trainer? Or is it too good for that and I should build it up with Ultegra 10-speed as my sportive weapon of choice? And relegate my beautiful Litespeed to winter hack duties? What do you think?

And I've just ordered one of these as well (the visor, not the helmet!):

Good job (wheels) ... there are standards you know!

Build as Sportive for rest of the season and then decide later what is going to be the 'winter' bike!
