    Wohoo Eden!

    Thanks for the details - congrats on the yellow jersey for the series and what an awesome surprise... so much better than a handful of PowerBars!

    Well deserved too - you are such a committed and disciplined cyclist, and so helpful on the forums.

    So... now you know it fits... how are you going to build her up?

    Ti frame means Titanium? So what wheels, make of gears etc etc - or are you still in the dreaming-about-it stage and have made no decisions?


    Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
    "I will try again tomorrow".

    I've pretty much decided that she'll be my super plush rain bike that can also race in the early season and crits. This bike will have 650 wheels, which for my road bikes I've been avoiding, as they say never look a gift horse in the mouth. It will actually work out pretty well. About a month ago I picked up a used TT bike (my god I found one in my size!) that takes 650's and one of my husbands team mates knows a lot of triatheletes who have 650 disks and other goodies that they would probably sell cheap, so I'd already planned to get TT wheels for the TT bike. Now I can transfer over the Velocity deep V's that came with the TT bike to the new frame. Other than that I'm going to have to work out the parts I have plus the parts I'll need and see what I come up with. We have a plethora of spare parts in the basement, so I know I have some things, like a pair of Ultegra STI levers hanging around. We have a pretty new LBS just about a block away from my house and he's going to help me with ordering the right parts and building it up. I think this is going to be fun.
