Congratulations! I can't wait to see the pics! I had to laugh at your LBS and the pink paint - my LBS got in one of the pink Treks and the 'guys" at the LBS were arguing over who would get to ride it! They thought it was one of the coolest bikes they'd seen in awhile! LOL different strokes for different folks
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"
