Got new tires on the Ciocc (it was somewhat insane of me not to have done this the minute I got it) and took it out for its first spring ride, and my first purely recreational ride of the season. Went to the end of the bike path and back, in about 1:25 (no computer on the Ciocc yet), so averaging something like 16 mph. Tires are fast, and also look sharp! New seat sits lower on the rails than the old one did, so I stopped to raise it 8mm or so; I felt much less cramped on the bike once I did that. I still need a shorter stem, and the more I think about it the more I want 85 mm (+/-) and not 95 like I thought I might. Ebay, here I come.

I need a bike dictionary. :(

Any chance you want to go for a bike ride with me sometime? I'd love to hear what you think of Steve's old bike and how it might be made to fit me better ...

Sure! That would be fabulous. Weekdays are best for the next week -- less likely to be filled up with social, plus during the late morning and early afternoon the bike path is a *lot* less crowded, so it makes for a good ride. That may change for the following week, or it may not change until a little later -- I hope I'll know more about that soon.
