Ron bought a new bike -- a Kestrel Talon. This is a great bike and all carbon fiber. The only drawback to this bike is that it is black and red, just like mine. It is a good thing that we don't generally ride together as matching bikes would be totally out of the question. If he chooses, Ron can pull out the seat post and reverse it so that the bike is even MORE aero and is ready for a time trial. I don't know if he will ever do that, but the option is there.
