Hopefully I'm doing this right...

Anyways, this isn't a very good pic but I just had to show everyone :D It also looks a bit naked wearing nothing but a bottle cage. Its a 7.3 fx in pearl white. I skipped the WSD and just opted for a shorter handlebar stem.

Congratulations on your new purchase. I hope you have great fun on your bike! After test riding several bikes, I ended up buying that same bike in the WSD in "Coastal Blue" and I LOVE it! I sold my Electra Townie at a bike consignment shop and used the money to pay my FX 7.3, and I have ridden new bike more in four months than I rode the previous bike in four years!

That's great! I actually had to wait a week for them to special order the pearl white. It was such a long week! I think the right bike is a little addicting ;) I was on it twice today. I think I'm either on it or on here talking about it.

Riding is addicting & there is no 12 step program for it. Sorry, but we've got you now! :D

Oh, how TRUE. Eight months ago I didn't own a bike. Now I own three. LOL.

That's the addiction. Soon you will start to stash bikes in little hidden places, just in case you need a quick ride. Then, you'll start riding in the morning. It goes on...

Tell me about it - last year I bought two bikes and sold the first one as it was too large for me....and here I haven't taken delivery on my lovely custom Gunnar yet and am already looking at mountain bikes :eek: :D

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... me too... but don't tell that to DH or the guys at the LBS. I think it would be SUPER fun... in a sick twisted way... LOL.

Just not "coordinated" enough at this point... I need some time/miles on my road bike so I feel rock solid on that before doing something like a mountain bike.

That is one of the reasons I am going to the Midwest Mountain Bike Clinic - that will help me figure out if it is too early for the really easy stuff yet....plus it will be fun!
