Hello, Pete, and welcome to the Forum!
Congratulations on your new bicycle; I'll bet the very minutes are dragging by till it arrives (we all remember the feeling!).
Your new Audax looked wonderful in the eBay photos, and will look even better in your own garage and under you on those long Audaxes. Red bikes always work great!
I hope you'll favor us with some ride reports and of course, your own photos of this wonderful new-to-you steed. It sounds terrific and we're all excited for you -- thanks for sharing this moment with us all!
Best,
Dan.
