I'm getting a new bike!!

[Running Mommy]

WHOO HOO!!! :D
I just made an appt. w/ Rudy at Trisports down in Tucson for a bike fit. He said it's going to take an hour to an hour and a half. I'm SOO stoked! I'm doing the "I'm gettin' a new bike" happy dance! :D
I'll be sure and post a picture of her tomorrow when I bring her home! Oh man, now I need to figure out what to name her! OY! Of course when I see her I'm sure a name will pop into my head. ha ha ha:p

Just got back from Tri heaven- aka trisports.
It was confirmed that I'm a squat little thing. The guy thought I could get away w/ a small... Oh no! I'm an extra small! After much discussion on frame material I decided to take the leap and go CARBON!
I'm going w/ the Quintana Roo Seduza. They needed to build her up, so I have to go back down for a final fitting and pick her up Thursday.
I'll post a picture when I bring he home, but here are the specs for now...

I also decided that I LOVE the Fizik Arione saddle. I sat on one on the fit trainer and I think I could have been on it all day! I'm Def. going to put one on my new baby.
Now I need to come up for a name for her.. Seduza is such a sexy name I think she needs something sexy. ha ha

I just went on the QR website and it says "Seduza, sex on wheels"... Now I feel dirty! ha ha ha

Oh she's so pretty!!! I think she needs a Spanish name, especially since she's a QR. So are you getting the XS with 650 wheels?

I got BF the Arione for Christmas. You can find them a bit cheaper on eBay, if you watch for a few days. I found one for $100, Buy It Now price.

You are so lucky!!!

Ohh Good idea nanci!! A spanish name. The first thing that came to mind was Lolita- na.. Then Lola.. But I'd be riding her singing "her name was Lola, she was a show girl"... :D
Yeah she's the xs w/ the 650's. The guy was hoping I could go w/ the small because then I would be able to stay w/ 700's. I guess the 650 tires are hard to find. What can I say, I'm a short little thing! :rolleyes:
But yeah I'm super stoked to get her. I rode today and it just wasn't the same. I actually half expected to get a flat. You know like that karma that happens when your about to trade your car in. Suddenly it breaks! :p
But all that happened was one of my bottle launchers fell off the back. I have a profile design double seat post holder. Well the bolt sheered off on one side. NICE! I guess I'll be going w/ plan B for the new bike. :confused:

My bike has 650's- I don't think it's that much of a problem. I love how petite she looks next to BF's 59" monster.

Lola, that's a good name.

wow. I am stupefied with admiration and envy. You know you're an iron-person when you get a bike like that and know how to use it. I am so excited for you.

I also like the name Corazon, which means "heart". Nanci, that website for names is cool!

Looking forward to pix--:D

No I get her Thursday..:( I want her NOW though! I'm dying over here! Oh that reminds me I need to call and tell them to put a fizik arione on her. Stock saddles... why do they even bother?!:confused: They should do like they do for pedals on most higher end road bikes- not even bother cause it's just gonna get swapped out anyway! ;)
As soon as I get her home I'll have my neighbor take a picture of us and I'll get it up on my photo site.
Then I'll have my "name my baby" contest. I;ve come up w/ some great Spanish names. She's a Latina thats for sure.. :)
