Bring it.

I bought my bike for Ironman today and it kicks serious ass. Check it out:

It's the 2007 Trek Madone 5.0. Full on Carbon Fiber frame, forks, seat stem, and neck. I saved a lot of money by buying last years model, and put that money saved back into the bike with some components that I though were pretty cool if not essential, such as:









a lightweight cage for my water bottle(they only had one in that style, I'll get the second one next week), as well as a nice seat bag for the spare tube and C02 tanks.









I opted for the Shimano Ultegra shifter and the Speedplay titanium pedals.









And finaly some Nike 10/2 "Lance" shoes with carbon fiber bottoms, and a yellow wristband with the words "cheat to win"

then were gonna ride, gonna smoke some weeeeheeeeed...
Climb up on my BAD ASS steeeeeed...
and ride, ride, riiiiiiiiide...."
