Well, it's official. I've become a part time member of the "Dark Side." Picked up a Masi Vincere road bike last Tuesday. Aluminum frane with carbon seat stays and carbon fork, Tiagra componets with a 105 rear der. It's NOT going to replace my Trance X but it sure is fun! I've already put about 150 miles on it. Butts getting a bit sore though. :)
