Mark and I discussed it. Thom thinks it's a good idea. Mark thinks it makes the bike heavy. I think, just get faster so I don't need so much light.

Congratulations V - its beautiful. I love it when someone buys a new bike for me to oggle. Make sure you post some pics once you have your new baby at home.

give me just a sec here to wipe the drool off the keyboard, the monitor, my jersey (ok....that's sweaty I wouldn't know the diff)......not only did you get a Rivendell but you got the one named after the one character in Lord of the Rings that I've been in lust with since I was about 13 yrs old and read LOTR for the first time. My feelings right now are wayyyyyyyyyyy beyond envy they've entered into denial - I'll just pretend I didn't read this post and then it really didn't happen!

What a neat deal V - I can't wait to hear how it works out for you on those killer centuries.

(did you get the red to go with your cashmere jersey and pearls? lol)

Red has always been my favorite color, although lately I've been getting a lot of pink stuff. So when they first came out I was in serious lust.

I've been e mailing Mark about the various parts - so much to choose and think about. I thought I wanted a Phil Wood bottom bracket...but they are not that light.

I need to choose cranks...

I want a black Finesse saddle, but the ones at Wallbike don't have bag loops. I actually use the bag loops. The ones on the Brooks site have bag loops.

And of course I want to get it all decided so it can be ordered, so it can be built, so I can ride it...

V - have you checked ebay for the saddle? A friend of mine just bought one there, a Swift, with bag loops. Wallbike didn't have it either.

**DebW** · 08-09-2006, 07:34 PM

So how much weight are you going to lose (from the bike, not your bod)? And how many minutes will that translate into on Diablo?

Congrats. Sounds nice.

Just thinking. Have you checked with Shaw's or Stone's Cyclery? Doesn't Thom go to Alameda for work?

Oakland actually. But, I'll tell Riv what I want and hopefully they can find it.
