(Almost) Officially a road beginner now...

So the day of days arrived this morning - just stumbled out of Condor Cycles £1,100 lighter of pocket but with a new bike, my first ever roadie, on order. 
Condor Italia with Campag Veloce gruppo and Scirocco wheelset. Black alu with carbon forks and full carbon rear end.
Rich who helped me was great - really made sure I got what I wanted/ needed and the whole fitting process was really interesting too. Was in there for an hour tinkering with stem heights and the like. Might even be making a couple of small adjustments to my MTB before the ride home tonight.
Just the 4-6 weeks wait now - gutted.

Especially so when you've got four figures to give them - oh shush, cynic in me

100m Yeah right.
He fitted me for my Squadra last year, the fitting as you say was very interesting and it's nice knowing it fits me right, I'm going back to get a fixie as soon as I've got a place to put it
Very Hairy Roadie - FCN 4
Fixed Pista- FCN 5
Beared Bromptonite - FCN 14
A fixie is next on my list too, though prob not from Condor. Quite like the look of the Pearson Touche and also like the fact that they are basically my local bike builder, being about 4 miles from me. There's something kind of cool about that in itself.

If you're after a fixie, then take a trip to Brixton Cycles too... just near Stockwell tube. Well worth a visit...
The Touche is a good choice, I bought one a few months ago and it is brilliant.

Introducing my 08 Condor Italia, dripping with Campag Veloce and Campag Scirocco wheels. Shame it's utterly miserable out and I've got a rough cold. Roll on tomorrow...

Unlucky.
Here in North Wales there have been clear skies all day, but I too have been ill and unable to go out.

100m Yeah right.
I went out today hoping to get a decent ride in but blew before I'd hardly gone anywhere. Hit a big hill before I'd had a chance to warm up properly and after that my lungs were burning. Not the greatest idea still carrying a slight cold and the lungs are even still stinging now, over 3 hrs later. Managed 10 miles in total, 5 outward before turning and heading for home.
Bit sad really - that's pretty much the length of my one-way commute!
