X-Mas Eve Surprise

This lovely box arrived at the LBS this morning (here it is sitting in my shop at home). I ordered a Routt 45 several weeks ago. The shop owner and I did the quick inspection and he shot some pics for the store site. Not an X-Mas present, but can't wait to tear this open. With getting ready for Christmas for the kids and hosting X-Mas dinner here, probably won't get back to that box until friday.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Happy, Healthy, Prosperous and Mile-Rich New Year to all on the Paceline!!!

I echo the awesome comment.
If I ever upgrade my warbird Ti that will be the frame

Great Christmas surprise even if it wasn't a Christmas present!

Looks like you have a really nice garage. What's your address?

I was at the Moots plant in Steamboat the other day and threw a leg over the Routt 45 that was in the showroom. In my brain, I heard an audible.... "oooohhhhh. This is the one."

I think I'd pull an all-nighter building up that bike, if I were you.

It would be out of the box and next to my bed tonight if it were mine, and built up tomorrow. Merry Mootsy Christmas!

Sweet! That came quick.
Hope you can get it built up Friday. It's "raining" snow here now.

I have a great, but unfortunately unoriginal idea: Let's make all forum members use their real names. That way, it's easier to figure out where they live.

Herein, we demonstrate another problem with the former policy across the hall.
