Happy old/new bike

[zia]

I bought her on Craigslist, and she started out as a Terry Symmetry. After I discovered a cracked head tube on my second ride, I decided to upgrade to steel, transforming her into an Isis. After 8 weeks at the bike spa, I finally brought her home last week. I'm chomping a the bits for warmer weather so I can take her off the trainer and experience the feel of steel!

At just under 5'3" with a 28" (shoeless) inseam, I always I was too short-legged/long-torsoed for WS, but this bike has been a delight from the first moment hopped on her. (I did have to swap out the super-short stem for a 9 mm stem.) Maybe I'm just more comfortable being closer to the ground with 650 wheels? Regardless, I feel so strong on this bike!
