Probably many of you have the thread I am about to discuss on your ignore list, because a significant number of women here are not racers or interests lie elsewhere...
But my lovely bikes are feeling sad because no-one has noticed them...
Well, actually, its probably me... I value your comments and feedback, and I'd like to know what some of you think of my two bikes... so here, if you are interested to see, are my babies.

And if you want to leave any comments in that thread too, well, I'd be chuffed.

I love the term "chuffed". Just for that, I checked out your pics. Are those concave tubes on the EMC2? That's pretty cool!
And TT bikes always trip me out. They look so substantial and heavy, though I know they're probably light as a feather. That's one seriously high seatpost you've got there, Raven.
They both look like they're ready to win some races!
"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."

Your bikes are gorgeous. I'm sorry that they feel ignored.

Oy.
You want to flip that stem on the Giant to get even LOWER!!
Ohh, my back hurts just thinking about that! Are you made of rubber?
I felt the breeze from those speedy bikes just looking at them. Pretty hot looking. Nice.
I don't often read the race results thread. I don't ignore them. I just don't usually go and read them, either.2007 Seven ID8 - Bontrager InForm

Those are bikes I only can dream of having...awesome. Do you race a lot? I own a brand new Giant OCR3 (lowest end of the Giant, but works for me). I've had it for 6 months now and love it. I can just imagine owning one of those you have.

Hi folks...
Thank you soooo much for posting - i think i will be late for work now!
Anyways, i have been replying to you in that thread - but thank you.
Kali - I posted this to you
Yes, they are concave tubes in the EMC... makes the colour flash so prettily!!! Seriously, they look very "sexy" and the whole line of EMCs have very sweet lines to them.
High seat post cause of long legs on a smallish frame... still have to get that bladed though (the seat post) though the rest of the frame is aero.
and Regina, i posted this to you
Thanks Regina - they are hot... I really like 'em...
Yep, wanna flip the stem, want to get just a tad lower at the front... but I need to completely shed my belly first cause otherwise its too uncomfy when my thighs hit my tum...
Violette... here's what I wrote over there...
Thanks Violette... they are not top end bikes... more middle I guess as far as money goes... I race every Saturday, and a couple of organised events over Summer. Next year I'm going to get a licence so I can race outside of my club and have a go at some new things.
My partner and 3 eldest sons all race too...
Giants do make nice bikes - glad to hear you have one too.
Sorry to have whined about it... but I am really pleased some of you have noticed

The EMC really pops, and the Giant looks like she'd blow you off the line standing still! Nice stable.
It's all about the journey (my reason for riding slower)

It's funny, I never thought I had a belly until I got my TT bike and my leg started bumping into something I thought was nonexistent. Sigh...reality slapping me in the thighs!Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be. ~Grandma Moses
