my two cents...

The Litespeed Bella is a great bike! I hope it does go to a good home.

I'm a tried and true Shimano girl. I love my Ultrega/Dura Ace combo...but even with my big hands, I did need shims, which they do make.

I just got a preview of the SRAM Red gruppo though...SWEET!!! And OMG...light and pretty it is! Even my wrench, who has gone SRAM and back...is going again, It's good stuff!
