CA 2.0 sighting?
Apr 21^st, 2009, 4:41pm

Funny thing happened today while I was in Austin. Smiley

A CA 2.0 just happened to attach itself to my bike carrier ,& unbeknownst to me, was transported back to my garage in Frisco. It immediately befriended our exisitng Bacchetta's(Strada & Corsa SS) in the garage(actually taking over the garage,must be the Alpha bike). Smiley

Now,I to test ride this dream machine. Smiley

Here are a few pictures:

Negative. This is John' bike , it will reside in Frisco for a while(so he has bike to ride when he comes to visit for an LSR ride ,etc...), but it's a strange coincidence that John & I have the same leg length. JS would like for me to ride while it resides here. Oh,twist my arm!

I rode the sweet machine on a 21 mile interval training session. Holy crap, it pedals/climbs effortlessly. Very fast bike(easily over 30 mph without trying).

Here are a few pictures:

Yes, Steve passed that white car . He looks sexy in blue Smiley

. The bike didn't have a computer so we have to guess his average speed, but while I rode with him I had a 21 MPH ,and he was always out in front of me by as much as 1/2 mile. When he rides this bike I will only see him at the start of rides , wait that happens now. Smiley

John"s got a great bike . Smiley
