ZR Cycles: Sneak Preview

I've been trying to contain my excitement for the last few weeks, but the day has finally come. That day is New Bike Day. Last night, after a quick stop at the liquor store for some refreshments, we steered the Wednesday night ride around Lake Monona to the Mainframe so I could drop off the final few parts needed to complete the build. The smell of tubular glue was still in the air as I took a few teaser photos that don't come close to doing the bike justice. I can't wait to see the paint under actual sunlight.

Hopefully I'll have it in my hands this evening, and I'll take it on its maiden voyage to do some race reconnaissance tomorrow evening. I'm still torn on whether I'll run a saddle that vaguely matches the paint or a (lighter) plain black one, but we decided that I'll race on both of them this weekend and the better result will indicate the appropriate saddle to use.

I'll have complete photos and specs up as soon as time and natural light permit, but you can come see it in person when it makes its race debut at the big Madison 'cross weekend.

See what else Zack is up to here.
