    My new BF

    It came today!!!!! I picked it up from my LBS. I asked them not to open the box so I could see how it was packed inside and take pictures (I'm very visual). We opened the box, pulled it out, and put it together. It's candy apple red and just stunning!
    Martin (my favorite British mechanic) let me help him put it together (didn't take long) and I took it outside and rode it. All the shop guys asked if they could ride it, because none had ever seen one before (not a big market in this area for folding bikes).
    I got it home, and even tho the winds were sweeping between 36-50, I rode it around the neighborhood for about 10 min. I LOVE IT!!!!! It's light, nimble, and is just plain FUN to ride. I'm so happy I got it. Thanks to everyone for advice and help when I was asking about them. I can't wait to take it on my weeklong bike tour this summer, and for it's initial ride on Saturday morning at a local t-shirt ride.

    On my laptop I can't figure out how to resize my pictures, so here's two links:
