hey guys, new here..should of registered here first for my questions...too late now..

i was deciding between a stevens aspin and a 2007 scott S10...

you get one quick and dirty one... went for my first ever road bike ride today...ever nice...only did 15km,, and true to form, just like with my MTB bike, i dumped it on the first ride...lol, this time it was in the driveway when i got back...damn clipless pedals.....

thanks guys, yeah i wanted an ultra fancy, i just spent $2k on my bike colour...but when i saw the soloist team online, i thought....simple and elegant , i like it..

to be honest i wasnt too big on the bit of yellow, red would be good...but i do really like it, i hear this anodized is more durable too...

i only wanted 105 kit, but this was $1700 full ultegra, so i paid the 2-300 more than i wanted and got it...ideally i wanted to be around $1200....but unless used, was not happening

thanks, both shop guys said the same thing.....the stock rims should suffice, AS LONG AS i keep the tires inflated1!!, thats what my maiden voyage was, to the shop to pick up a pump...lol

although i am researching tires/rims should i need ones...
read about xero XR-1 i think, with 14/15g spokes?? i dont know, so many choices..

my stock rims are 16f, and 20b....so well see.. watching the rimset for $500 thread closely
