Gee, that date sounds familiar for something else. Anyway, he says that he will ride it to work someday so that I can check it out, and beleive me, I will check it out and let you know what bike costs $11,000. And Pete, I'll get pictures if I can. __________________ One life, one chance. Don't waste it!

Here in New Zealand we can walk into a LBS and buy(they'd have to get it in on order) that new Scott that has the lightest production frame with full Dura Ace and pay $21 000(and our dollar is at 79c / US) for it full retail. I don't think many are selling !

'Don't know about individuals, but I was recently surprised at the number of bicycle companies that don't know the specs on the bikes they "build"!

Many in fact just shuffle their logo over to a manufacturer in China who practically delivers direct to the store...

I've been really tied up all week working on a problem that we are having with a piece of equipment at work and haven't had a chance to talk to Greg about his wonder-bike. I'm working tomorrow

and if he is there, I'll make it a point to ask him.
