Opened the box and thought too myself "oo i can use it take the photo...oh wait..."

My SRAM Red has finally arrived at the shop, only it's short a rear derailleur and some brakes, so the wait continues. And my card is currently inactive so I can't pay for it and make it mine until they send me a new one. I was allowed to touch it though. Shiny shiny nice things.

That's for Open Sport, not Open Pro. Huge difference in quality.

@chrismgs - thomson stem&post, chris king, slr, sugino75/xd with polo ring(depending on usage) gusset jury sl forks, avid mechanical disc with cable splitter so i can swap between drops and risers and a fixed phil track wheel on the back.
