    Lightning got a "new dress" for her bday!

    My bike's 1st birthday is next month--so Daddy agreed to buy her new tires, tubes and bar tape!

    When it all arrived in the mail today, I simply couldn't wait! I changed the wheels, tires and tubes by myself! It's a first--DH is usually to impatient to let me do it. I passed inspection. He did the bar tape when he got home.

    I never liked the white bar tape--not even on the floor of the lbs, because I knew it would show dirt. I was eyeing the Madone's on the Trek website and DH had to act fast (www.trekbikes.com/women/wsd_products/bikes/#road) -so he ordered the red tires. Wheels are his old set.
