Well, not really. I didn't have the diamond earrings, I was just saving up for them. I decided that a new bike would look better on me than diamond earrings.
So, here it is, a new 2010 Trek 7.3 FX.I rode it home from the store and it was awesome. It felt great! I can't wait to ride more. I also bought a wireless odometer, bottle holder (w/free bottle), and gloves.
Thank you to all who offered input and suggestions to my questions.

A far healthier and more fun route than diamond earrings.

Congrats! You'll have plenty of great miles with her.
I'm on the flip side - I had to sell a bike to pay for a new dental appliance the other day. My fault - left it in the dogs reach.
Okay, so it was my hardtail that I never ride and it went to a girl one of my teammates is dating that just got into mtbing but still..... Now I have an excuse to buy a new hardtail for xc races so I can leave my fs 29er at home.

I love that you rode it home from the store.
Like being a kid and wearing your new sneakers home from the shoe store.
And I think that bike looks lovely on you! (that's the color of my Trek too!)You too can help me fight cancer, and get a lovely cookbook for your very own! My team's cookbook is for sale Click here to order. Proceeds go to our team's fundraising for the Philly Livestrong Challenge!
