Picking my new bike up tomorrow!!!

Congradulations!

BEE-U-TI-FUL!!!!! What a gorgeous bike!!!!! :) Congrats!

Very Puurr-tee! Looks like you'll have happy trails together.:)

Congrats!
and thanks for the comment on slim shims, that solves my problem!

I hope you and he (him??) have many happy years and miles together.

Congratulations - excellent choice. This is probably going to seem like a silly question but what is that tiny black wedge holding your bike up?

Hehe...a very basic door stopper, but works well to stop the bike falling over or rolling around - especially if the cat decides he wants to make friends with him! Still not been out, weather forecast looking worse rather than better, sniff!!! :(

Your bike looks very cool and fast. I have a trek 1000. I LOVE it. Mine is orange and white and most definitely a "girl". I named her Chrissie.

Thanks for all the nice comments!

Well, I managed to get him out for a couple of miles between hailstorms, etc. today (and yes, it was literally 2.5 miles :( ) But hey, here is the proof, slightly fuzzy and for some reason I look rather deformed due to the camera angle, but at least I've been out! Still terrified of braking and can't quite work out where the right gears are, but I suppose it will sink in eventually...

Deformed??- get out of town- you look GREAT!!! :p

Your fingers look cold though. :(

It took me a week or two to get the hang of my brifters/shifting when I switched from bar end shifters to new brifters. If my old brain cells can do it, you'll have it down in no time at all!

Looks wonderful- enjoy!! :)

You look just like me in that photo.
But taller and thinner.

I'm going to tell people that's me :p

Great photos of you and your bike, both! I'm having a chuckle here because I had my Trek Pilot for a year before I used all of the gears. I was using only the right-side gears, even up hills. Bike shops don't cover shifting when one buys a bike; at least my bike shop didn't. Once I learned I had a granny gear, I was delighted! :D

You look maaaahvelous together! Looks like a great fit!

Is that the bike with the charge saddle on it?

Lookin' good!
