Sorry Danica Patrick but I've moved on

I'm calling up Shimano and telling them that I wanted my soul back. I took my new Gary Fisher bike out today and was absolutely amazed. The response of the new SRAM XO shifters is amazing, the metallic click that comes with each shift is great too, I feel like I am working with a highly crafted, engineered piece of equipment. This bike is my first SRAM group-set, first Gary Fisher, and first 29er and I know now that I was previously living in a narrow band of life. I am running Avid Elixir CR and while this particular component doesn't seem to outperform the old Shimano brakes, it could just be the adjustments that I need to make to get the feel I prefer. At around 300 grams I can't complain too much, but I just feel that they don't have the slamming stopping power that my XTRs had. At the end of my ride, once I regained the mositure in my mouth from the drool inducing Captain Jacks, I remembered how lucky I was to have great friends to help me out getting on a bike like this, a huge Thanks Matt for the new wheels!!
