A 2007 Specialized Roubiax Elite triple!
I recycled the pedals and rear wheel.
Plus , I bought a pair of shoes that fit!

What did this new bike replace?
What did you tell your old bike?

It replaced my Old CAAD7, which is sitting in a closet. Two guy I ride with want to give it to their 12 year sons who have expressed an interest in racing (why do all my bikes suffer ignominious fates when I sell them? :o (DOW, you're treating the Bike Friday ok?)
Names I don't do names good. The only thing that came to mind so far is the Blue baroness(or Baron) any other ideas?

any other ideas?

How about just: Bleu.

French. Basic. Easy to live with. Perfect loyal sidekick name...like naming an Australian Blue Heeler just "Blue," or something.
