Got my team bike...

From the little bit of riding I've done on it, I've been pretty impressed... I look forward to riding it this weekend at the Merco Credit Union cycling classic... with a technical crit saturday and close to 100 mile road race sunday on farm roads, it'll really put the bike to the test...

where are those XO bearings? Cannondale's SI crankset completely does away with the outer bearing shells, everything's internal... the only bolt is on the drive side, I look forward to pulling this apart in my spare time to see how this works... one thing's for sure, it's super stiff...

another staple on this bike is the oversized headtube and headset, I think it's a 1 1/2" instead of the typical 1 1/8"... again super stiff... to sum it up, I've never ridden a bike as smooth as this and at the same time as stiff...

Do you get a 'lei' with the team bike? Noticed the 'set' hanging on the knob!
