I BOUGHT HER!
My kids borrowed my camera so I could only take a picture on my cell phone which doesn't do her justice. I love the colors a lot more than the girly girl white and blue of my terry titanium isis.
The bars are temporary, he is ordering me a shorter reach bar but even with this one she feels amazing (tweaking gals).
The shop was amazing to work with! All this time they were in my town but I had been going to the wrong shops. I finally found someone that understands my fit issues, and a stock frame that looks like it was designed just for me.
She is the most amazing bike I have ever ridden. She climbs like a dream. I LOVE THE DURACE, and the durace compact FD works perfectly with my custom compact crank which I was worried about. I did go with the shimano casette at the shop's recommendation, although he told me the new durace group does come with an 11/28 if I find I don't like the 12/27 to consider when it wears out.
I did have to ditch the carbon crankset and put my heavy leather brooks saddle on her due to some personal biomechanical stuff, and while I know I will never race I can tell she will let me be the best rider that I can be.
Thanks for your help and encouragement!
