I have a 1997 Trek 730, steel frame. I LOVE this bike. It has such a nice ride to it.

I use platforms with these mini-toe clips by zefal:

They cost around 8 dollars.

I have never fallen with these, and I can wear my regular shoes....

I don't know who the female cyclist is in that photo, and unfortunately I don't know what bike race this was. My mom thought it was a local race.

My father was passionate about two things, bicycling and hockey. Growing up, it was impossible for me to escape getting drawn in to these two favorites of his, and besides, I was a daddy’s girl who...

My Dad. He immigrated to the US from Italy in 1948.
He was PASSIONATE about bicycling and participated in amateur races at Bell Isle park in Detroit as I was growing up. One of our favorite...

Freakingly AWESOME bike!! I have always loved Bianchi's.

I looked it up on the Cannondale website. GEORGEOUS BIKE!

As for riding in this cold weather.....you're a brave lady!

I like the Polar insulated water bottles also. They do come in two sizes, the 24 oz is longer, and the 20oz is shorter. I use the 20oz size because it fits better with my frame.

There are...

I agree with what Seajay said in that the main difference seems to be in the ISOZONE thing that is there to soften the ride for the aluminum frame. I saw the 2010 7.6 FX WSD at the store and I...

I sent you a private message about my 2010 Vita Comp that I'm selling in case you're interested.

A year ago I was debating between the Specialized Vita Comp vs the Trek FX 7.6. I bought the Specialized Vita Comp.

Since both bikes (Vita Comp vs FX 7.5 that you're looking at) have aluminum...

Georgious bikes! How exciting!

This is a great post Happinesshill, thanks for starting it. When I first started hanging around this forum, I felt a little intimidated by the knowledge of the women on here and the high level...

Congradulations to you!! Yes pictures would be nice. :)

I'm first generation Italian. My parents immigrated here in 1948. My Grandparents/Aunts/Uncles followed shortly thereafter. Therefore I grew up immersed in all things Italian.....I can't seem to...

You're right, they are all beautiful colors. It will be a hard choice. But picking the color is part of the fun of going custom.

I did end up picking up the upgraded 2011 Jamis Coda. But, I haven't been able to take it for a ride due to the weather. It's frustrating for me to have to wait until spring to really "get to know"...

Beautiful bike, awesome colors!! Congrats!

Ok, the "spread" on the cassette I'm getting is 12-25 (which is exactly the same cassette spread I have on my Vita Comp). The cassette that I originally was going to get with the Coda Elite 9 speed...

Beautiful bike!!! And I'm envious that you can go out tomorrow and ride in 70 degree weather. It's COOOOOOOLLLLLLLDDDDDDD and snowing up here in Michigan.

Ciao

Thanks for the feedback Indy. I was a little nervous after I got off the phone with my LBS guy today when he told me about the changes.

As for the spread on the cassette, I'll have to call him...
