Shock and awe.

That is what I felt when I woke up last Saturday, after receiving an offer for a bike I never thought I would have a chance to buy. I had slept until noon, after riding my Trek 990 until 1 AM with my friends until my Cateye batteries died, and I woke up to a message from my friend Dirk, a local bike shop owner, who had previously shuttled Konas my way.
