Who's 5'2" LOL?

I was looking at a pic with both of us in it (thought you were a tad shorter) but no, you do best me by 2 inches.

Ben, Walmart sells what is called a Denali... damn, what a piece of caca! It is supposed to be a 21 speed but it only has 4 different speeds that work (on a good day, I can get 6 working speeds). But you are right, a great training bike! At 30lbs and with crappy components, it is proving to be a good trainer. Having said that, it will also make me really appreciate havinbg a good quality bike, especially something that literally weighs half!

Madone 5.2/5.5 is what I am leaning towards but won't know till later in the week after some test rides. And yes, I can save over $1K by just going for an 09'. I am game for a Cannondale CAAD 9-5 if the bang for the buck factor is high. I'll keep you posted.

BTW George, on a health note, how are you doing with the excercise routine? Hopefully sticking to it.

Right now my body fat content is <17% but would love to be at 8-10% and I feel my best bet would be road cycling. I will have to up the calorie intake though to keep from getting too skinny.
