    Finally finished!

    I finally finished my Burley frame that I purchased on ebay. I moved all of the components from my Jamis except the cranks (my lbs had to do this) and what a learning experience it was! I added a Brooks saddle (TE recommendations) and a Carradice Barley (Xeney's recommendation and I love it!). It fits great and I love it!

    Sweet, congratulations on your new bike
    Don't think of it as getting hot flashes. Think of it as your inner child playing with matches

    What a sharp lookin bike! I love your seat bag too. Have you road w/it loaded and did it affect handling of your bike?

    I haven't ridden with the bag loaded, just got it in yesterday. Others on this board recommended it, so maybe they can comment? (Xeney mentioned that sometimes she throws in a bottle of wine, that's what sold me)

    I love the Brooks and am still working on adjusting it. Everyone was right, it's like sitting on your kitchen chair. After seeing it at the lbs, I couldn't believe it would work at all! If it wasn't for the TE forums, I'd probably still be looking at cushy and cutout.

    Thanks everyone!
