How wonderful! You'll love your Racer X. I just bought a used one and am having so much fun on it. It's way more bike than my skills deserve at this point (I am a complete mtb newbie), but it's just a lovely ride.

I've got a good one too.
After getting NO fenders installed at the bike shop yesterday "what do you expect", the LBS owner said to me "this is a race bike.. It's not for slogging through the rain" She then went on to disparage OTHER LBS's in the area for selling bikes like mine... I quickly admitted that i bought it on ebay; she couldn't blame it on a LBS...
I got home with this sad tale of woe and DH said, bring your bike in, I think i have something that will work. And sure enough, in 30 minutes i had at least a rear fender.. He was so tired, after a bad night the night before and he still took time to do that.

Whattaguy!

"Sigh" It can't arrive quickly enough for me... In about a week and a half. I don't have my own pictures of it yet. But here is a link with a pic and a list of the components.

Emily and RocknRollgirl...Lucky girls! The Titus Racer X is an awesome bike.

I tell you, this touched my heart so much, better to me than any piece of jewelry he could ever buy.

I love this story!!! Wow, yay, good for you!!! Whoohoo!

I asked hubby to get me a Litespeed Mtn. Bike...Ten years ago it was the only small bike that would fit me...It was my engagement bike...Of course, I got a ring too, but it wasn't some big rock like he originally wanted to get me LOL. I'm a 'practical' gal (well, I like to have my cake and eat it too!)

I hear ya on the guilt about money on yourself, but you're worth it, so receive with joy, Goddess

Gorgeous!!! My favorite colors. My Bike Friday is white with light blue handlebar tape, and my Racer X has a pretty blue fork in the same shade (and is silver). Enjoy it!!!

My fantasy is an S.O. who would buy me a bike instead of an engagement or wedding ring... sigh.

(or bike and simple ti ring. gotta be practical, I guess.)

I lived that fantasy. I got a bike and a ring from my husband when we got married. He's a real keeper. I mentioned the other day that I liked the black rimmed wheels he took off of his bike, but of course they won't fit on mine. So last night he told me that he is ordering black rims for my bike so he can build me some new wheels.
