    MINE. All MINE

    Picked her up today...












    It's a 2009, but brand new old stock from the LBS that was discounted, I couldn't beat the deal I got on it. It's got 700x23c tires on it and full 105. I'd have to pay about 1k more for a 2011 model with the same features.

    Now I've gone and done it.. I hope me and my Ruby have many of miles together!!!

    Very nice, and it looks like you have a beautiful day for it, too!

    Have you got her just propped on the toe clip in that first pic? I just can't do that... (clipless pedal against a curb is the same principle, but I can't make it work)

    Enjoy!

    Yup!! That's what I did.

    It WAS a gorgeous day today. I also had my first opps moment. I was turning and dropped the bike, landed on my knee and elbow, but kept the bike from hitting the ground. I have a skinned elbow but a bike that is still sparkly and new!!

    Shimano 105, 10-speed, 12-27t (Back) - 50 x 34t (Compact) Chainring, I would have rather had a Triple, but I took the small little hill near my house with ease, I just need to see how it does on the big hill.

    That is a beautiful bike, I am jealous. Good thing you saved the bike when you laid her down. I also have a ruby and love it.
