She's way nicer of a bike than I really need, but I really couldn't resist:

2008 Jamis Xenith Pro (http://www.bikepedia.com/Quickbike/BikeSpecs.aspx?Year=2008&Brand=Jamis&Model=Xenith+Pro&Type=bike)

I'm adopting her from a girl on team Cucina Fresca who's going into Peace Corps. This is Bike #4; my husband says if I want to get another, I'll have to get rid of one. :p Guess now I'll have to start riding fast to make it worth it.

Too much bike just means you'll grow into it. That's a beautiful metallic blue color

She's lovely! And your 4 bikes still take up less space than one car:)

Nice. I've read good things bout that bike. She should be wicked fast :)

Should write a ride report after you've got some miles under her.

Grats!

Should write a ride report after you've got some miles under her.I've put about 100 miles on her so far. Yow! I have a lot to live up to in this bike. She is FAST, or wants to be. Today I did 45 miles/~3500 feet (depending on who you ask) of climbing and I won't say it was easy, but it sure wasn't as challenging as I was expecting. Every hill I got to the bottom and thought, "OK, this is going to be really hard," and when I got to the top, I realized "Gee, that wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting." The handling was crisp, it was very responsive feeling, and it really moved when you stepped on the pedals.

So...two thumbs up. Awesome bike.
