Awesome! I see it is contagious ;) Which mountain bike did you settle on, I can't tell in the photos.

Of course you can keep her, I mean, she followed you home and everything :cool: :D

Pretty 29'er! Congratulations again on such a pretty bike following you home!

[Roadtrip]

I did honestly expect to just stop to discuss my fit on Friday :)

I have 30 days so long as she's in like new condition... Will have to take her out on the hilly route to give her a go. I also tore a HUGE hole in my jeans as it caught on the chain ring... My own fault... My luck was it was the pair that already had a nice series of holes in them from the chainring on my roadie.

Uh-huh, so did I when I went to my LBS on Friday - must have been something in the air on Friday, though I do not regret my choice :D

It is awesome you got a 29'er though. If they made them small enough to fit me I would have gone that route myself, but I think my lovely FS Dakar will work just fine :)

[Roadtrip]

Sorry, ment to say stopped today to discuss me coming in this coming Friday for my fit... I have Good Friday off work and it's been a struggle to find the time.

Looked again at the bikes and there she was... In my size. Stand over is still a little bit of an issue, but we'll see... next three days they're calling for rain. Go figure.

Can you tell if she's had kittens? Has she been spayed? Ooops. I didn't have my glasses on- at first I thought a cat had followed you! Now I see it's a bike. Lol (that was supposed to be funny, by the way). ;)

Congratulations on your new ride.

Roadtrip, you are fabulous! Have fun :D

Calling for rain here every day this week :( Doesn't mean it will happen though, I won't bring my new bikes home in the rain though - don't want to have to clean them before I ever get to RIDE them! So am hoping this week won't be a total washout - I get a little cranky if I can't ride for a few days :cool:

Lucky you they had one on the floor in your size! I am never that lucky, but was fortunate enough they had an entry level hard tail with the same dimensions as my Dakar so I test-rode THAT one.

We actually have snow today!!!!! It was a slippery drive into work this morning. :eek::eek:

[Roadtrip]

It was nice after work and got to take the bike out for a little while. I hardly noticed the one short climb!!

Go, Shannon, go!

I guess you get to keep her, huh? What are you going to name her?

Roxy, who is seriously considering an upright, straightbar MTB, too.

[Roadtrip]

Oh, I forgot... the name...

Brilliant Shannon! Great pics and a great bike. I'm stunned and inspired by your progress in such a short time :D

What a fab bike but Shannon, your grin and smile says it all. :D

Have a great time on her.............with your helmet. ;)

[Catrin]

Great picture Shannon! Lucky you, mine had to be shipped - but the box from Jamis should arrive at my LBS TODAY......whooohoooooo!

I thought the anticipation of one bike was a lot, but now I am waiting for TWO

Look at that smile!!!:D:D:D:D
LOVE IT!!!
