ooooooo - beautiful bike. Congratulations!
Pretty Bike...why do bikes on racks always look like they will 'fit' me (I'm 4'10")....
When are we riding?
I was thinking of taking the train in Thursday and just riding around all day until I wanna grab one back to Nash. What do you think?Quote:

My last appt is at 3, so I'll probably be done 4ish. The bridge over the Cumberland should be done b4 too long too.
You can also ride the train to Hermitage, go to the LBS's new shop, then ride to Leb.
We could eat at La Bicyclette. :D
I have a mixte that will fit you...Quote:

La Bicyclette sounds fab.
So, McKilty,
Tell us about how your new bike rides!
P.S. Are you trying cause trouble with that ipod 'attitude' avatar? :cool:
Heh- I haven't ridden it yet because I have yet to jack my dad's 15mm wrench to change out the pedals. Hahahaha. Tomorrow I will have a full report on how carbon feels under one's self.Quote:

Lovely bike! Very similar in specs to mine. Enjoy!
Cool. Carbon?- ooh la la!Quote:

Clawed in the face?! :eek: Kitty? Poor thing! (you, I mean, not the cat)
Hmmm...now I remember your past avatar where you appear to be biting some poor girl's head. Did she finally defend herself by clawing you? :D
Wasn't a cat, but it could have been anything! I have [literally] nailed myself in the face before while sleeping. Woke up with blood everywhere. Boo.Quote:

S'posed to rain. :(
Well, then.. I shall simply.. defy the rain and wear an umbrella hat while cycling!Quote:

Real edit: Take THAT, rain!
Yes I have to learn that today too! I am only experienced in bar end shifters, and have to learn the brifters today too. Guess I'll figure it out. Going back and forth between the two might be challenging for my old brain. You are young and will have no problem learning this stuff! Good luck on your first test ride!Quote:

So that was you I saw.Quote:

If you can operate down tube shifters while riding (and wearing the Brella Hat)
the integrated shifters are gonna be like going from a manual Volkswagen bug (circa 1963) to an automatic Porsche
I must say: once I get acquainted with them, they most certainly will be easier. Although, with down tube shifting, I could (though maybe not should) skip many gears instead of doing them one at a time.Quote:

Ah-HA! Executive decision: Carbon is much nicer than chrom-oly. So light and smooth, I took some very hard curves with graceful ease. :: Sigh ::
come on now! I need components!
Dude, I don't know what else you want. Components? Shimano 105 and Ultegra, Carbon fiber bike, Selle San Marco seat, some black bar gel tape, wheels with rubber... please specify and I won't keep it from you.Quote:

ps I do like the look, I just want my bike to look that cool
just get you some glittery streamers. They make any bike look 90% cooler.Quote:
