My bike is here, my bike is here!

OK, I FINALLY got my new bike via warranty replacement from Kestrel. They were going to just change out the frameset, but all they had were complete bikes available. It wasn't free, but Kestrel gave me a screaming deal for a complete bike. Below are the specs for my bike-geek friends.

But first the short and dirty:

I have a new 2008 Kestrel Talon SL full carbon bike with Profile Design full carbon aero set-up, Shimano Dura Ace shifters and derailleurs and Shimano Ultegra brakes and compact crankset. Frame set is just 2.2 lbs.

The Ice Grey crankset looks suh-weet with the frame color!

What I changed out from what was sent:

• Replaced the FSA carbon crankset for Shimano Ultegra compact crankset.
• Replaced Shimano 105 front dreaileur for Shimano Dura Ace deraileur.
• Replaced Cane Creek brakes with my Shimano Ultegra brakes from old bike.
• Replaced Profile Design T-2 Cobra carbon aerobars with my Profile Design Carbon Stryke aerobars from old bike.
• Replaced Continental super light tires with Michelin Pro Race tires.

Future changes:

• Replace wheels from Mavic Aksium wheelset to Mavic Ksyrium Elite
• Use old rear wheel and have Power Tap hub built into it.
