  1. Hi, hopefully this forum is similar to others I read and post to so I'm not doing it all wrong.
    I just found the Forum and am an avid cyclist(with a broken wrist from a recent crash, hence this post..lots of extra time just now) I live summers in the Pacific Northwest US. I've been riding lots this past year, coming up on 7500 miles so far since January. I do a few Masters road bike races and lots of centrys, as well as what we call "credit-card touring" (~100 mile fun rides on the race bikes with a credit card for a motel at night) I've spent the past season trying different high end road bikes, usually bought and sold on ebay. This hobby has been really fun, and not too expensive, if I buy and sell carefully. So far this year I've built, ridden and re-sold a Merlin Extralight, a 5200, a 5900, a Cannondale Caad 7, a Time VX pro, and destroyed a DeRosa Dual frame in my crash. I currently have another DeRosa and an un-ridden Colnago Dream B-stay plus..a couple of more weeks in this above the elbow cast and I'll be back in the saddle.
    Favorite bike so far? I think the DeRosa Dual, with the 5900(s) as a close second...for all around riding probably the 5900, but the DeRosas fit me much better, and of course they are much higher quality finish.
    So, hello all,
    Don Hanson
