Here's mine (a bit early...first road bike took about 6 weeks, but Cdale had this one in-stock, so we had just days after it was ordered):

This is a beautiful bike. The orange is lovely. The blue accents, especially the handlebars and brake lines, are really striking. Gorgeous!
TRUST THE PROCESS
I can't wait to actually get my pedals on it and RIDE! Damned snow!

The orange is to make her visible when she is out riding it in the snow and blizzard.
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.
Ha, no kidding! I just wish I had clearance for cross tires. I don't really want to get road salt on my new ride, though, either.
IMKY13 finish!!
Sweet bike, zoomy!!!

Pablo, where do you have the photo? It needs to be online (posted somewhere like Facebook or Photo Bucket) in order to have it show here.
How do you link from FB? I only know how to do on Photobucket.
Right click on the photo and get the properties/URL, then past that address (will look something like http://yourphotourl.com) into the space provided after clicking on the little button that looks like a photo of a tree above your posting box.
Let's try this again...this is what I'm getting my wife for Christmas:
NICE!
HOT!!!
Puttin' on the foil
Me likey.
Don't be obsessed with your desires Danny. The Zen philosopher Basha once wrote, 'A flute with no holes, is not a flute. A donut with no hole, is a Danish.'
Me too! I finally broke down and rode it for the first time, last night...on the trainer. I wanted to take the first ride outdoors, but there are no bare roads in site any time before 2011, at this point. And after 9 days of staring at it I finally told DH to switch the pedals out from my old bike.
It was interesting how different the bikes feel. I am definitely a lot more stretched-out on this bike, even though it's the same make and size as my previous bike and the top tube is only .5cm longer. We did flip the stem and move a spacer up. I thought I might want a longer stem, but after riding it I'm thinking the one that's on it will probably be just what I want.
I was a full mph faster on the trainer than on my older bike, too. I'm guessing this is due to the stiffer frame--more of my leg power is being transferred to the rear wheel. Or maybe it's something different with the gearing. I look forward to seeing how it compares on-road.
