    Talking My find

    A barely used midnight blue Felt Z65 in my size at the local pawnshop end-of-year bike clearance. $375. I'm not generally a lucky person. It fits me perfectly. I think a cross bike is going to have to wait. I took it to my LBS. He went over it and made some adjustments. He said everyone should have a "go fast bike." I'm so pleased! I missed a trip to Brookings today to hear my daughter's choir sing because of a storm. This was my silver lining.

    Still grinning,
    Deb

    Hopefully this will show it. It's currently in the family room since there is no room in the garage.

    Beautiful bike - and doesn't everyone have a bike in their living room or bedroom (or both?)

    Beautiful bike! And no worries. I got 5 in the living room. And 4 in the bedroom
    For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.

    Wow! What a sweet find! It was your lucky day even though you missed hearing your daughter sing. Too bad about that Only paying $375 just makes the ride that much better!

    (2) in my dining room.
    (2) in my kitchen

    - to be exact. LOL. Two are mine (see signature) and two are my partners. We actually had to talk ourselves down from each getting another one. We had to turn to each other and say "Slow down crazy, slow down." 2 very nice bicycles is enough.

    @blackhillsbiker: Congratulations girl! Rock on! That is one cool bike!
