I finally ordered my bike today (thanks Sue for being there on Tuesday when this started). It is a Project One Trek Pilot 5.2 spa wsd in shades of green. Today Scott did all the measurements and I gave them a down payment. The computer didn't like the fact that my shoulder width is too much for my build, but I can't help that.
Anyway, my bike should come just around the time I finish recovering from the hysterectomy I am having next week, so I will have something to look forward to. And Scott tells me that he can teach me to use the clipless pedals without falling.
I will post pictures when the bike, named Gattamelata, arrives.

Enjoy your new bike. My dh has a pilot and loves it, the only bike that doesn't hurt his neck.

Shades of green--mmm--sounds delicious. Green is among the best colors for bikes.
We want pix!
And btw, good luck with your hysterectomy and don't try to do too much too soon. Let other people take care of YOU!

Hey Sue, I wish you speedy recovery from the hyster. Having Gattamelata waiting for you during your recuperation should make the time fly by quickly!
Your bike sounds so gorgeous! Also, let us in on Scott's secret method in learning to use clipless without falling......that would be worth knowing!
