Traded Diamond Earrings for a New Bike

**mhami** · 11-30-2009, 06:48 PM

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.

Good choice

Many happy miles and tailwinds to you.

A far healthier and more fun route than diamond earrings.

I agree- the bike compliments your features more than the diamond earrings. Congrats on the new ride. It's SOOOO pretty!!!!

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.

Diamond frames are a girls best friend

Nice bike, much better choice.

**BellaMTB** · 11-30-2009, 10:52 PM

I'd go for a new bike over diamonds any day. Glad you straightened out your priorities & made the right choice. Congrats on the lovely bike!

Excellent choice. I'd have done the same in a heartbeat! Enjoy the new bike!

Smart lady! Good choice and pretty bike. Enjoy................

**OakLeaf** · 12-01-2009, 04:55 AM

Pretty bike! Enjoy.

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!)

I laughed at Trek420's comment about diamond frames!

I agree with all the others; good choice!

Happy riding to the two of you!

Definitely the better choice. Not only does it compliment your features, the more you ride the more it will compliment your figure.

Last year, my boyfriend bought me a present that came in something like a jewelery box. They were earrings for my bike. Well sort of, it was a super light, elegant single piece clamping system that worked for both my brakes and shifters together. I loved it.

Yes, a shiny new blue diamond bike. I like that. I know there is a blue topaz, but blue diamond, I am not so sure of. I'm glad I straightened out my priorities too. I rode it today 4.8 miles. I could go more, but I also walk my dog in the mornings and it was a busy day. I'm going to work my way up, but I think I need to get bike shorts sooner than later.

Bike shorts are even less than diamonds

Definitely a better investment at many levels
