My Madone!
Here she is, and what a ride! :D:D:D:D:D OMG, I love it SO much and I've only put 5km on her. LOL. I didn't truly feel the difference until I rode it on familiar roads. It is SO smooth I can't believe it and the acceleration is amazing. Then I had to test it on a hill. I didn't try the big one today because my legs are sore from my run on Sunday, but I rode it up the hill I often do repeats on. I usually slow down to 9.5-10 kmh near the end of that hill and today I was easily doing 14kmh all the way up. I had been worried about moving from my triple to a compact double but the lowest gear felt ok. I am anxious to try it on my 'ugly' hill and see how I do.
Anyway, here are a few pics - one clean, and one geared up. (PS Trek Madone 5.1)

Very nice.
Those new Madones are pretty sweet.
Many happy miles with her.

-
beautiful! congratulations. I hope you have many wonderful miles with her. Named?
-

Wow, KG!!!! She's lovely!
(what's her name?)
-
Oh I don't know what to name her! I have such trouble coming up with names. None of my other bikes have names either although I sometimes refer to ny Giant as Betsy for no apparent reason.
Any suggestions?
-
She's so sexy and sleek... maybe after some starlet from the hey-day of the silver screen?
-
I'm drooling with jealousy! She's beautiful and so sleek! Wow.
Madone translates into Madonna.... so you could go with "Mary", ... of course there's always "virgie" :p
-
I thought about Madonna (Madone) but can't get the singer out of my head and I don't like her.
Edit: Jesvet med - I hadn't read your post beofre I said that. Funny!
Virgie????? Oh, Virgin Mary?

i am so jealous, there's a new madone right in the front of every issue of velo news and i've been lusting every time i see one. yours is my favorite so far (except the new tour de france issue has a yellow one thats awful purty).
did you know the new madone is not simply an upgrade, but a whole rebuild from the ground up.
have fun!

And then I also thought about the name Gwendolyn which was my D&D character's name. I've always loved that name.
