First Impressions of the 2011 Collection

Nice Stuff. someone had asked to see some smaller 48-52cm frames, so I shot down this morning and hauled a few -- about 6- back. Great looking stuff. A pair of  nice looking shop-brand aluminum with carbon forks and stays Scattos with Ultegra. there were two stuffed into a single large carton, sans wheels. So their wheels must be in one of the spare cartons. But they are looking very sexy.

A Colnago stteel framed Master that some moron had kitted out with Tiagra! gotta get that stripped off ASAP.  It is unbecoming a fine colnago frame like that to be sporting low-end Shimano.

what else? a very interesting looking aluminum Scott Waima Time Trial bike . Shimano 105 but with 650c. I remember my colleague Daniel telling me this was in pretty grimy state. But thanks to his efforts she shines and is ready to roll

The 2011 Arrival

a thousand thanks to my dear darling Julie for covering for me this afternoon for the delivery of the new batch. Keen to get everything available, I scheduled a Monday delivery from the airport warehouse. Only to remember a critical Real Work meeting at right about the time of the scheduled delivery.
Julie - bless her heart - zipped over to the storage space and received the driver and unloaded the 39 cartons.
I dashed up there at about 4 and most of the heavy lifting was done.
So, all are safely stored away and accounted for. We'll now just pull them out and set them up as required
