Finally...my new bike... a long time coming

[jeannierides]

...At least it seems that way... Still a work in progress...3909

I think the beautiful pink of the Chris King Pretty and Strong headset and hubs ... you really can't see the hubs in this picture, but I couldn't get any other pics to upload...:o sets the green off nicely, don't you?:rolleyes:

Aaannnddd... drumroll please...I was able to ride 35 minutes with it on my trainer yesterday. Progress, girls, progress.:p

Oh, and the red tape on the seat post is so I can exchange saddles easily and not have to re-figure the height. :rolleyes:

[Bad JuJu]

Gorgeous! I'm not a big fan of pink, but I love this color combination--that great green with the little touches of pink to accent it. Hope you two have lots of fun together.

[sbctwin]

Congratulations on doing 35 min on the trainer. Yes, it is progress, after all you have been through. I think your bike is so pretty....

[cosc]

Yea, Jeannie, your bike is really chic. I agree with the wonderful pink splashes. Riding 35 minutes on a trainer should count as double time in my book.

[IFjane]

She's gorgeous, Jeannie! But I think we need to look for some PINK tape for the seat post...:D

Now.....does she have a name yet? (Godiva wanted me to ask :) )

[jeannierides]

:p Thanks everyone! Hi Jane! No, I'm not too good at the name game. Her *real* color name is Chameleon Metallic, and she's a Gunnar Sport. I'll consider all suggestions.
As for the tape :p ... it'll be coming off when she goes outside for her first ride... just have to decide on saddle. Is pink tape available, ya think?

[KnottedYet]

She's BEAUTIFUL!!! (and I'm not at all biased just cuz your bike and my bike are cousins. She really is beautiful! and I like the pink!)

Congratulations on the 35 min on the trainer! You ROCK!!!!!!! :D

[Trek420]

She's beeyoooteeful! Trainer miles count double you know, so that's quite the feat. With a bike that gorgeous you'll be even more motivated to get out and ride.

I think the rirst ride should be to the hospital to thumb your nose at the Doc who said you couldn't :p Neenerneenerneener. :p ;)

[Tri Girl]

Yay! :D What a purty bike!!!! I can see the pink hubs- and LOVE them- love all the subtle pink accents. Against the green it's stunning!!
And 35 min- fantastic. You must be VERY proud of yourself!!!! Congrats! :)

Hey Jeannie
I am so glad to see this bike. You must be making great strides in your recovery.
And why not pink tape?!?!?

[Python]

Verrrrry nice:D

There something so exciting about getting a lovely new bike:D

Congrats:D :D :D

[Ninabike]

I was thinking the same thing (although I don't usually name inanimate objects).

Congratulations!

How about naming her Karma Chameleon after the old Boy George song? - Karma for short. ;) :p It would be good karma! (or Green Karma?) :D

[Jo-n-NY]

Congratulations Jeannie!!! She is a beautiful bike and I wish you all the luck and happiness with her. You have come such a long way, you should be very proud of yourself :)

:D Well, Boy George isn't one of my favorites.;) BUT. I'm leaning verrryy heavily toward Karma Chameleon!! I think *Karma* would be perfect!!:rolleyes: It's not totally decided, yet, though, so keep the ideas coming!

And, yes, she's a wonderful piece of art that my sweet SO spent many hours building. He did an EXceLLENT job!!:p

Ok, off to PT... will check back in later... thanks, girls!!

ps... oh my gosh... now that song is IN MY HEAD!!:eek:

[RoadRaven]

Lovely Jeannie, just lovely

And well done you for giving yourself a good workout on the trainer

So good to hear you progressing so well :)

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

Well, if the Boy George connection is too much for you, you could go with just Green Karma. (shades of the Green Hornet). Again, Karma for short. ;)

Or even...Green Hornet!

[7rider]

I think Green Hornet is "taken" (Bad JuJu? The Bianchi site?)....not that that should stop anyone....but...

Anywho.
Schweet looking Gunnar, Jeannie.
Just the ticket to get back out on the road.
Wishing you many long, happy (and safe!) rides.

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

How about Wasabi ? (yummy cool green seaweed...)

Grasshopper ?

[RoadRaven]

Wasabi is a good name!

But... LOL Lisa... isn't wasabi a HOT seaweed???

[sundial]

What about Galapagos Green? It matches my Honda Element which is that color. Together they'd make a beautiful pair. ;)

Is yours the 2008 Element? I was wondering what that lovely shade of green was called!
