Woohoo! I have a real road bike now :)

No pics until tomorrow.. I forgot to take some before I took it to the shop, but I won't forget after I pick it up tomorrow :) My super cute flowered saddle bag is here too.. and I think it's *plenty* big for what I need.. and I like that it has so many spaces to stash stuff so that I'm not going to be trying to cram everything in together.

The tape is not here yet.. but I'm not sure if I will strip the old tape off right away or not, because the tape that is on there still looks really good. But it will be ready and waiting :)

Yay, pics FINALLY.. my bar tape came yesterday but it was rainy and yucky so I didn't get a chance to take pics until today.. isn't she PRETTY! :D

I wasn't sure about my Honey colored brooks on there (I was thinking black at first) but I think it looks fine now... the saddle bag (ordered from TE) is SUPER cute, and while I wasn't so sure about the bar tape once I saw it, I couldn't help but put it on right away.. and I think I really like it now ;)

I'm thinking I need new pedals.. those are my blue Crank Bros Candy's from my trek... but the SL's come in back and orange, so I think my bike needs some in black and orange :p

WOW!!! SOOOO pretty!! I was going to get that bar tape for my red Bike Friday, but stuck with plain ol' boring black. I wish I'd gotten it now- it looks FANTASTIC!!!
I love the look. That's one hot ride!!

Thank you, I'm super thrilled with it too! :D

Even better that everything I want/need to carry in that saddle bag FITS with room to spare :eek: Which reminds me perhaps I should go and review it :p

I ♥ my tangerine bike :o

S-where did you get that bar tape? I'm curious if i can find anything like it down here..
