The New Bike!

After a couple months of trying to get my bike shipped across the Atlantic Ocean, Kelly gave up on me being around the house and bought me my 'engagement bike'.  Its like an engagement ring for guys, but waaaay better.  After scouting out some shops we ended up heading out to S'Arenal aka the Myrtle Beach of Mallorca.  It is a super touristy beach area but its popular with foreign cyclists and they have lots of used bikes.
 So we picked up this beauty for a steal of a deal.  Its a KTM, like the motorcycles, they sell bike shere in Europe too.  Its full carbon (actually my first full carbon road bike) with full Campy Record 10 speed.  It also has a Selle Italia SLR saddle, which is my foavorite and was a big selling point.
 When I bought the bike they also offered me a really good deal on some flyweight Campy Neutron wheels, which I took and have been glad I did on the long climbs here in the Tramuntana Mountains in Mallorca.
