Woot! My Juliana just came in.
I've been waiting for the new Santa Cruz Juliana since May. She arrived today. What a beauty! This will be my first time riding full suspension and clipless, so I'll need lots of practice. After much research and deliberation, I decided to try the Crank Brothers Candy 3s and see how I do with them. Unfortunately, it's pouring rain today so I can't take her for an inaugural ride
.

The folks at my LBS were wonderful in terms of helping me research, giving advice, and setting everything up for me. They did a starting fit and even taught me how to use the clipless -- I practiced on the trainer. I must say that they have superb service. Several staff members spent a lot of time with me from when I first started inquiring, to my initial order, through to the build and set up of the bike.
