So, that's my new bike. All I'm missing are my Ksyrium SL wheels and the bike will be beautifully complete. The 900 gram Colavita edition Xenith SL frame hosts 3T bars, stem, and seatpost with Zero Gravity breaks, Sram Red drivetrain/shifters, K-Force Cranks, and a Ceramic BB. This bike is going to be fast! I have so much motivation for training, mostly so that I can put my fitness on a level that compliments my bike! That's going to take some major training. Courses this semester are going to be rough, to say the least, but hopefully I can focus in and train right.
A big THANK YOU goes out to my awesome sponsor Volker Bicycles for making this bike dream a reality. Dan O. and Joe A. are both joining the ranks and building up Xenith SL's, so our team is guaranteed to look 100% Pro. It is amazing to think how far our Colavita KC team has come in only 1 year. Also, the KU Cycling Team has come quite a long ways from the 4 racers last year. We now have almost 15 students interested in racing and at least 4 of them have already committed to racing with Colavita KC. Awesome.
A peak at my course load (16 hours and 2 labs):
ME 501 - Mechanical Engineering Design Processes
ME 455 - Mechanical Engineering Measurements and Experimentation
ME 528 - Mechanical Design I
ME 520 - Dynamics of Machinery
Coms 130 - Speaker Audience Communication (Decided to Drop Finite Elements (ME 661) to take an easy class)

I had to go down there and see it up close after seeing the pic on Volker's blog. It's hot. I'm so scared I'm going to be "that guy" on an insane bike hanging off the back.
