Thanks for the suggestions!
I've been gone for quite a while from the boards, and am getting ready to welcome our first kiddo.
I plan on riding with her when it's age appropriate, but was wondering if (and where) there are...
Ohh...that would fit me perfectly! Too bad I just started school and hubby won't let me. :(
Nice bike!
I'm moving to Jacksonville at the end of this month and was wondering if anyone was in the area to ride.
I'll also be in the Orlando area a couple times a month to visit family, and can ride there...
I have those 2nd pair of black Fox shorts and they don't work well for true downhill (went the first time this weekend). I wear them on easy xc rides but anything else they pretty much suck.
They...
I'm short too...5'2" with a 28.5-29.0 inseam (they didn't call me stumpy in HS for nothing).
I have a Specialized road bike that doesn't fit me, I won't buy Specialized again...like Running Mommy...
Yup, there's a picture of her in the mountain bike section. Santa Cruz Juliana.
There's actually some good stuff close to me (within a 15 min drive) that I just discovered this past weekend and am...
Hey! Welcome to Japan!
I'm actually heading off to Korea for a few days but maybe if you're up for some rides the weekend of the 25th-27th we can head out. There are a few places around me, or we...
+1 for toe socks in general. After living in Japan where that's all they wear I'm a convert. No bunching, no skin on skin rubbing in the toes...amazing. I've never tried that brand but I now wear toe...
Maybe the bike doesn't fit you? Irulan would know more than me but maybe the reach is too far? I dunno, just throwing out suggestions.
Looks great! I'm always amazed at people who can do art, no matter the form. Congrats, I hope there's a big turn out. :)
I'm 5'2" and it's an XS (13" I think..). I had a Fisher Cake 3 DLX about 3 years ago that was the XS size so I decided to stick with it since I like the "tight cockpit" feeling.
I used the...

Of course it would come after a weekend of riding a rented bike...but you know..whatever :)
sort of...
I work in a hospital but I conduct shipboard influenza surveillance for large deck US Navy ships.
TPBM can speak more than 2 languages!
Dear Chainlove,
Can you put up some women's gear that actually is worth buying? Some jerseys would be nice, thanks.

5 days after the bike shipped I've received the wheels and they look perfect. +1 so far for Colorado Cyclist.
Shipping was cheap too. On a full bike to an FPO (foreign military postal address) PO...

He actually has a hardtail/FS/road bike so any and all are up for your use. I'm hoping my new FS comes in the mail sometime soon. If so you and I will go riding. If you have some free time we'll go...
And for the most frugal out there.... www.gearengine.com
SAC posts stuff up there too
Ordered some jerseys for DH...we're addicted to SAC so this doesn't bode well for us.
Don't buy a bike here....I just ordered a new FS Santa Cruz online because they were 2-3x more expensive here.
I'm fairly close to Machida so shoot me a message when you're around and we'll go...
We just ordered a Santa Cruz from them and you bet you'll be hearing from me if it doesn't go as planned :D Now I just have to wait!
I'm looking at a couple online shops: Cambria Bike and Colorado Cycles. We're getting another full suspension mountain bike and the prices over here in Japan are unreal (twice as much as in the US)....
I've got an 06 Allez but replacing it with a Luna as soon as she's built and the parts are going to the husband's bike as upgrades to his component set.
It just wasn't the bike for me, too...
I'm getting the Eclipse with Ultegra components (still researching Campy vs. Ultegra but something in that Gold build kit range). It'll be a step up from my current 105s.
The paint decision is...
