I know that as the time/miles are spent in the saddle each week the more acutely aware of each nuance of the ride I become. Then again the drool factor of a pro bike is, for me a recreational road cyclist, more of a dream and enigma and not in the realm of possibilities.
But for the sake of putting down in writing my short list of pro bikes I would 'give my left n _ _ for' here goes: #1 The Trek Madone 6 #2 Pinarello Dogma 60.1 #3 Merckx EMX-5 #4 The BH G5
#5 The Cannondale Supersix hi-mod and #6 The Specialized Tarmac SL 3 Superlight

All the component packages like the Campy Super Record, Scram Red or the Shimano Dura Ace are equally bullet proof and is matter of personal preference. The cool thing about these bikes, besides being well engineered, have the sweat and blood of the pros testing them every step of the way to prove them, is that they are the dream machines of all who use them and all who covet them.
These bikes are all very sexy and are Tour tested. This is a big plus since the price tag for the cheapest one is EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS! For the average guy this is not in the budget but I really can't believe it's not outside the desire factor. I think if I had one of these in the house I would be on it and out of the house all the time, I would never get off the bike. Hey, where can I rent one or will they take my Suburban in trade?
If I pass you on the road stop at Peets, because your buying.
Now for a personal note about my training. I had a great week last week and rode 74 miles in peak performance. Today however after two days rest I sucked in a 10 mile TT. SUCKED HARD! But I have had solid improvement up to this point and for all of us that are in the beginning stages of training I'm taking this as a set up to improve not a set back to quite. After all isn't it only right that a failure or several failures leads to better understanding of how to train? I hope this helps you, thinking this way helps me, be patient and the answers will come.
