New Baby

[mommelisa]

well.... she's almost home!! I got a call from the lbs that my new baby Guru is put together and in the shop, waiting for me to come get her!!

I think I told you all, I picked out everything about her lickety-split, no problems, but it took six emails back and forth to get the color scheme settled. I wanted pink, and they're kind of a hard-core bike shop - they don't deal with pink too often, and I'm sure they were like - "what??". Well, when Chris, the bike fitter, called me, he said - this is a really good looking bike... :D I hope she's fast too!!

I'll post pics tomorrow!!

Congratulations! I can't wait to see the pics! I had to laugh at your LBS and the pink paint - my LBS got in one of the pink Treks and the 'guys" at the LBS were arguing over who would get to ride it! They thought it was one of the coolest bikes they'd seen in awhile! LOL different strokes for different folks

[tprevost]

This is one of the most beautiful bikes I've ever seen. I've always thought Guru had a very cool frame. Love the paint. You're so lucky! Will you be naming her? (She immediately made me think of azaleas...)

And that seat looks pretty cool too, like it has pink embroidery on it -- what kind is it?

(MMmmmmm.....nice bike......) :D

[mommelisa]

to repeat a word tracy penned, you're such a goober! :-) you have that sleek sexy seduza, and i have bubblegum barbie... we'll be a pair riding together! after imaz, we're going for a ride, girlfriend!

Venus - its actually a serfas sattle - the Carma. I've tried so many saddles, it's very close to the same shape (cutout and all) of the saddle I have on my trek - which is a bontrager, so I'm hoping it will work. I haven't actually ridden it yet (gasp!) but as soon as I do, I'll let you know how it goes. I need something narrow in the front - with a smallish cutout (a big cutout has me collapsing into - ugh) and a softer back. It felt good in the bike shop, PLUS its the same color pink as my bike. LOL, a match made in heaven.

[SalsaMTB]

Wow, she's beautiful!!!

[moo bean]

Needs some pink-and-black bar tape to round the whole thing off ;)

But seriously: very nice indeed.
