I've broken my promises to DP and paid for the Specialized Sequoia Elite. When I test rode it on Saturday the LBS guy said that they may not be able to get another if this one sells since Specialized has stopped production of the 2006's. I'd already decided that this is the bike I want and I didn't want to lose it. I just called the LBS and paid for it

Now, I'm not sure when to pick it up. I'm signed up for a ride on Saturday September 9 and wouldn't have a chance to road ride this more than once before then. Between this and my plan to swap pedals, seat, and accessories from the old bike to the new I figure I'm best off waiting until after the ride.

I can't wait to bring my Sweetums home! I'll post pictures!
