    Here she is...

    Pictures! One pretty standard pic from the side, then a more artsy one--I love Photoshop!
    And possible names. So far, she's only whispering, so it might be any of these:
    MizCrabtree (of Little Rascals fame)
    Abby Normal (from "Young Frankenstein")
    Sugar Magnolia (from nowhere in particular--though I think there was a popular song by this title, back in the 80s?)
    Annabelle Lee (E. A. Poe)
    and the one I'm leaning toward at the moment, Professor Sprout, from the world of Harry Potter:
    "Professor Sprout was a squat little witch who wore a patched hat over her flyaway hair; there was usually a large amount of earth on her clothes and her fingernails would have made Aunt Petunia faint."
    Sounds more like a MTB maybe, but still, I like the sense of tomboyishness.

    Any preferences?

    Wow, Nanci--I checked out that century online--looks like you Gainesville cyclists have a whole cycling weekend. It looks like fun and I'd love to come, but our local century is that very weekend--it'll be Prof. Sprout's first metric, and my first in about 3 years.

    So cute! She looks itty-bitty compared to my 53cm ... what size is that frame?

    And your celeste is prettier than my celeste ... I got this paint job with the fade (although mine is the steel version) and I think it's kind of goofy.

    Are you kidding me? I love that paint job on yours! That fade is cool. Of course, I love my own paint job, too. The frame is a 44, and I didn't realize just how tiny she is until I took the photos. Teeny-weeny for sure, but that's what fits!

    Smile So jealous....

    JuJu, I adore my "bleached celeste" Eros Donna, but the Veloce in celeste is just as gorgeous. And I love the Campy wheels! Too cool! Your bike is even smaller than mine. My riding friends call mine "the itty bitty green machine."

    Happy riding. That's great that you snagged an '05 with the triple. My biggest reservation (other than fit) about the '06 Veloce was the compact crank. My LBS neglected to tell me that they could have possibly gotten there hands on an '05. Hmmmmmm.
