My New Luna!

[Bike Chick]

I just have to share the good news with everyone here. My Luna is finished and ready to roll. I can't wait to get her home and take her for a ride. Margo did a wonderful job and deserves a huge pat on the back for holding my hand through the process and a gold-star for dealing with my anxiety-ridden emails. Thanks, Margo!

What a magnificent bike! I'm so envious. That's a head turner for sure.

[Blueberry]

What a fabulous bike!! Great Job, Margo!!

Can't wait to hear a ride report!

[moonfroggy]

Yay! it is so pretty!

[owlgirl]

Wow that is gorgeous! I didn't know steel could be so light! I'm purple with envy :p

Just edited to say I think you've made me obsessed with Luna Cycles, wow drool

[smilingcat]

Wow very pretty. And no lugs. Smooth weld job!! must have spent long hours cleaning up the weld. And the paint is wonderful.

[MartianDestiny]

Perdy! Purple was my color of choice too; though I may now have to change it to green.

[jdubble]

wow that's gorgeous! can't wait until you actually get to meet your new bike!

[azfiddle]

Another WOW. That's beautiful.

[Lemongrass]

Drrrroooool.

That is one beautiful bike! Enjoy!

[Catrin]

The link isn't working this morning, hopefully it will later so I can see your new bike :)

[lph]

Oh my lord. That is a gorgeous bike! The purple and white look so smooth - pretty and elegant - together.

[Catrin]

Ooooo, the link worked when I got to work - that is one beautiful, and elegant, bike! You are going to have as much fun showing off this bike as you will riding it!

[Mr. SR500]

Very Nice!

[zoom-zoom]

Wowsers! PRETTY! :D

[Bike Chick]

Thanks everyone! I can't describe how excited I am. I can't wait to get her home.

[Becky]

Dang, that is one nice looking bike!

[violetpurl]

Love it! :cool:

[Chile Pepper]

Sweet! The matching wheels are a great touch.

[Thorn]

I keep Margo's blog on my RSS feed ('cause I love to drool at the purr-ty bikes :) ). Knowing that this one is already loved makes it even more fun.

Enjoy that gorgeous bike!

[roguedog]

That's gorgeous bike. Nicely designed color way. Nice balanced eye to whomever came up with that.

Great job.. and should ride just amazing too. Yep, need ride report!

[sfa]

That's gorgeous! I love the color!

[Biciclista]

nice purple bike! congrats. happy trails to you.

[Red Rock]

Congrats on your new ride. Those clors are great. I love the look once the wheels are put on the bike it really makes it *sparkle*. Enjoy.

[Desert Tortoise]

Beautiful!! And the purple/white mix is fantastic with the white handle bars. It is such a cool change up from the usual one color bar tape and different color bike frame. Or in my case, black bar tape and black bike. But that is how the bike came and I love my ride. You've inspired me to spiff up my bike a bit.

[northstar]

That. Is. BEAUTIFUL! :) Congratulations!

[GLC1968]

I was reading the description before I looked at the photos and thinking to myself "ick, purple wheels and a purple frame? sounds awful"..

Boy, was I wrong! That is one gorgeous bike!! Seriously, I don't know who did the color arrangement, but it's spectacular.

Congrats!

(and great job, Margo!)

[oxysback]

What a beautiful bike! May you have many happy miles together. :)

[OakLeaf]

Beautiful, congrats!

[out_spokin']

Sweeeeeet. Great job Margo & Spectrum, and congrats Bike Chick on going for it! +1 on the ride report request.

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

Congratulations!! I don't think one could get a better bike than a custom Luna.
But then...I'm a bit biased. :p Margo is so knowledgeable and such a wonderful frame builder. Patient, too. ;)

[Jo-n-NY]

gorgeous bike, enjoy it to the fullest!!!

[moderncyclista]

Congratulations!! <3 How lovely. I wish I could afford custom. Beautifully done. Have fun riding! :)

[annielynn]

Add me to the list. What a gorgeous bike!! Have fun with her.

[Triskeliongirl]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh, NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!!! Someday I have to have Margo build me a bike too, maybe after my youngest graduates college and has a job. I know exactly what I want, but do you know if she does S/S couplers?

[runningteach]

Your luna is absolutely gorgeous. Enjoy!

[redrhodie]

You can see great care was taken in making that frame. Beautiful.

[GLC1968]

Trisk - she does couplers - I asked. :o

[Miranda]

Your new bike is absolutely beautiful! Wishing you many happy and safe miles together.:cool:

[Bike Chick]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh, NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!!! Someday I have to have Margo build me a bike too, maybe after my youngest graduates college and has a job. I know exactly what I want, but do you know if she does S/S couplers?

Actually, Triskeliongirl, my youngest did graduate from college, got her first job, and bought a house a few months before I decided to order the bike. They have all left the nest and are on their own. This is my gift to myself.
I couldn't be happier. Thanks everyone for your nice comments and many thanks again to Margo.

[IFjane]

Bike Chick - she is absolutely gorgeous! As one who manages to get chain grease everywhere, let me know how you manage to keep that white bar tape clean ;)

Can't wait for the ride report!

[LilBolt]

If I had that bike, I'd have a hard time resisting the urge to sing "one-eyed, one-horned, flying purple people eater" as I spin up the hills past everyone.

Fantastic bike...and custom steel from a master builder is extra special.

[Selkie]

You cannot go wrong with a Luna. Your bike is a beauty and it's uniquely yours. Like Bleecker, I'm biased (I have an Orbit and and Eclipse!).

[ivorygorgon]

WOW, just WOW!!!!

[Triskeliongirl]

Trisk - she does couplers - I asked. :o

OH, then Margo, if you are reading this you should add this to your website. Last time I looked I didn't see anything about it so assumed you didn't do it.

[skinimini]

Oh my! How incredible! I want one!!!

[katherine]

Congratulations! That is quite the beautiful bike, I want one. I am now obsessed with having a Luna. I have too many years until my children leave the nest, but perhaps when I finish graduate school. I can name her Doctor...

[Bike Chick]

Well she arrived yesterday and I took her out early today for her maiden voyage--a quick 5 mile loop to be sure everything was secure--then DH and I took a 14 mile ride. She is absolutely awesome! I had no neck, shoulder or wrist aches and she rides as smooth as silk. I have been riding carbon for 5 years so I purposely took her on roads that I knew were rough on my carbon bike and my goodness what a difference in the ride and the feel. She's the sweetest thing ever. I feel like I am in control of the bike instead of the other way around---well, you can hardly feel the bike at all.

Oh, and I have always had problems making a tight turn and thought it was my bike handling skills. The rest of the group could reverse direction in the middle of the road and I always had to stop and walk it around. It wasn't me at all--it was the bike. I can turn the Luna around on a dime. Amazing!

Thanks Margo!

[sgtiger]

Congrats, Bike Chick! Your Luna is stunning!

[maillotpois]

What a beautiful bike!! Enjoy!

[ciao_bella]

[tulip]

Congratulations on your new Luna. They are wonderful bikes. Enjoy!
