Just put down a deposit for my 2009 SRAM Rival group. What's it going on, you may wonder? Not my Blue...

Grin

Next on the order list will be an alloy 3T ARX Team stem and carbon 3T Ergosum bar. Following closely behind will be the new frame set. A spare set of wheels that I own will perform the rolling duties until later in the year, when I will purchase the intended set I wanted from the beginning of this project.

As the bike is built, I'll post some (novice) reviews about the parts and the process.

Rethinking the Cervelo S1 idea - may have a better option about to happen... (cliff hanger)
