But after some major tweaking, I'm still not quite comfy on the Bianchi, though I love everything else about her. So with that, and with the evil influence of Ace, I've taken to lurking at the Serotta website again. *sigh*
I hear you, JJ.
I'm staring 40 in the face this year and starting to think "new custom bike" would be a cool thing. Only, my LBS (and good friend) is a Seven dealer, so anything but a Seven is out of the question. That's not necessarily a bad thing. But DH is awaiting delivery of his custom Seven ID8 - this weekend, hopefully - and he says I cannot get an ID8 (drat!) so it would HAVE to be an Elium SG. I'm starting to rationalize it by telling myself my current Seven is not custom and, gosh, with my herniated disc in the neck and my back back and creaky hips (and I'm only turning 40?? Yikes!), I would really do well with a custom ride.
CURSE YOU, ACE!!!!!!
