Thank you!! I want to bring her up into the living room so I can just look at her. She's 47cm.

My mom is a preschool teacher. She didn't have many aversions to girl names (lucky since she has two daughters) but she's said many times that she would have had a very hard time if she had a son :rolleyes: !

Ooh! 47cm!! MY SIZE!!!

My new bike stayed in the livingroom for about a month when I got her. I think a little living room time is vital for proper socialization of the new family member.:rolleyes:;):D

I like Maddie. I have a niece named Madison and she goes by Maddie. She's a very good girl and accels at most everything. So to me Maddie is a very positive name.

My new bike is Fiona. She just told me one day after I'd had her about a month.:)

You should have seen yesterday after our first ride. I got caught in a downpour and she got all muddy. Had to clean her up already!

Princess Fiona does not like to go out in the rain. But she's had to endure it a few times. It's funny how much more prompt you are about cleaning duties with the brand new bike. Strange really.:rolleyes:

I totally understand! My three darlings are named quite eccentrically.
Little Wing
Portia
Bif

Luckily, I've never met any kids with these names!! (I know of 2 famous adults, but I've only gotten an autograph from one of them....)

Happy butterflies to you and your Miss Divine (or whatever you decide to name her). Enjoy!

~T~

Pledge wipes come in very handy for keeping the bike looking spiffy after a ride ;)

I've also heard they have other uses inside the home (dusting?) but I'm not sure :confused:

KG-

Very prettyful! Have fun getting to know her

Seeing your new beaut gave me a spat of bike lust!

Isn't it crazy, gals? We have nice rides, but see a gorgeous new frame like that and....boom. It happens. hee hee

Congrats on the new sweetness!

I had a PR coming up the ugly hill today (just a smidge over 1/2 mile, at 10%). My previous best time was 3:30 and that was only once. My usual time is 3:45. Today, on my new bike, AFTER a 2000m swim and a 45km bike ride, I went up that hill in 3:20. Wahoooo!!

Congrats, KG...so glad you were able to find something you fell in love with!

It's a gorgeous bike...I know you'll have many happy miles. :cool:
