Bikes arrived

Our Felts showed up over the weekend. Got Ash's built up Thursday, she's gonna keep it stock. It's got a good setup so why mess with it? Because it's fun. These are only the third and fourth brand new bikes I've ever bought - and mine was the first time I ever parted out a brand new bike. My upgrades are going to be:

Sram X.0 Twist shifters
Sram X.9 rear derailleur
Cannondale EX2 crankset - 29/44t
Sram Force front derailleur
Formula Oro K24 disc brakes
Sram 990 cassette

I'm also going to have to something about the bars. The riser bar is super narrow and is an uncomfy bend. I don't want to go all Geoff Kabush wide but a comfy bar is a necessity. I think I'm gonna need a 400mm seatpost too. New wheels are on the list but probably won't happen this year.

Well hopefully the new stuff will get on it in a couple of weeks and the riding can begin!
