    new bike for wife

    Well, I finally completed building my wife a new road bike. It took awhile to choose the frame and components but here's is what I decided:

    Look 585 Elle (51cm) ; Campy Chorus 11; FSA stem; Ruby SL bar; Fi'zik saddleZipp 202 Tubulars; Look Keo carbon pedals.

    weight: 14.3 lbs

    My wife and I went on a ride last week and she loves the bike. However, she asked me to ride faster next time (we were already cruising above 22mph into a headwind).....May I should add some weight to the bike..or better yet....I should get a new bike :0)

    Pretty bike!!! I guess you're due for an upgrade now, too, huh?
    That, or add a 5 lb weight inside the seat tube...

    Niiiice.
    As much as I pretend I don't, I am secretly coveting a pink "girly" bike.
