For a moment there I was beginning to think that Santa had forgotten what a good girl I had been this year. But, the jolly round man - hey, Matty, he sounds a lot like you (without the jolly)!!! - is making a special trip back to Gladdy to deliver my present.
It's not quite a 6.9 Pink Madone, but i won't complain. Its the Madone 5.5 pro. For dedicated blog spotters, you would have noticed that this bike made an appearance as being a "personal favourite" when the 2009 bikes were released.
A noticable change for this bike is the SRAM Force running gear. Having been a dedicated lover of Shimano Ultegra and Dura-Ace, the shift to SRAM Force will be an interesting experience and you can be assured that I will keep you posted on my thoughts. I guess it can't be that bad - afterall, Lance now runs SRAM.
