Oh, she is *pretty*!
I might have to look into the name stickers. Wait! Stop me! I gotta stop spending money!
Beautiful bike, Lise!

No, no! It's only about $6! That's the price of two Starbucks, or one bottle of wine (I'm guessing here), or 18 cans of Spam.... Originally Posted by KnottedYet

Lise,
Is your saddle nose pointing way down, or is that the angle from the camera??
Nice bike, tho'.
My LBS dealer noted that Sharpies work nicely to "customize" (or "grafitti-ize" his wife mentioned) unpainted ti frames. Wipes off easily when you're bored with it with rubbing alcohol. I've put my name on a chainstay with a Sharpie (and a bunny on the dropouts), but I haven't tried to remove yet. Don't know if that would work for painted frames, however.....

The saddle is pointed down, but not as much as it appears to be in the picture! It put too much pressure on my pubic bone when it was level. I keep an allen wench in my saddle bag and keep playing with the angle. Not sure I've got it right yet, but it's better.
It was supposed to rain today (and may yet), but it's sunny out now, and I have the day off, so I'm going for a ride! WAHOO!
