    KayTee (who has not posted here for a looooong time) coined that phrase and I love it! Pictured below are the results of Godiva's "spa treatment" last weekend, a wedding present from my soon to be DH, Michael. I gave it it's first road test today and it's awesome! Hills flatten.....well, almost!

    Who needs diamonds when you can have such fine Italian jewelry?

    Lovely!

    Exactly! I would much rather my bike wear jewelery than wear it myself.

    Wow--and you don't even have to keep it in a vault!

    Hey, are those carbon fiber derailleurs? I had no idea such things existed.

    Yes, they are. The rear is carbon and titanium. I didn't know they existed either until Michael gave them to me.

    My bike lost weight with the overhaul, tool Man, do I ever wish I could go to a spa for a day and come back with less weight!

    Uh, you COULD lose weight after a day in the spa, just depends on how long you stay in the sauna!

    Beautiful bike parts. I have record too, and I love it. Most of my stuff is not carbon though (it's older) have fun!

    Ooooh! Aaaah! Your man has good taste-and I don't just mean the fine Italian jewelry. Congrats on the pending nuptials! He's definitely a keeper.

    I will take a new picture of her tomorrow morning - I just tried and it was all blurry. I want to take one outside in the sunshine. Stay tuned!

    Ok! Ok! *lol* I took the picture this morning - but then we went out on a ride after that. Here she is - very plain, but a classy lady if I do say so myself.
