I have done a lot of research on the California project. That sounds like a fun bike for a little under $10,000 just for the frame!!! Another new bike toy I am looking forward to is the new Garmin Edge 800 bike GPS. I currently use the Edge 500 and love it. I didn't really need the maps (always have my iphone) and I liked the format of the 500 over the 705. But the new 800 looks like it is going to be absolutely awesome!!
