I wanna watch that shoot out…from a safe distance! Yeah, custom ain't cheap, but you can’t beat the fit.

IFjane, I love Godiva for a bike name - and what a beauty she is! I know you're enjoying the heck out of riding that gorgeous ti machine! And jenxxs, great bike! I haven't yet gotten around to registering on the IF Owners site, just like I haven't gotten around to the TE intro thread either.

Probably you two win the peewee bike stakes, as I ride a 51 cm bike with traditional geometry. My 6-month-old PeeWee is compact geo, however, and painted metallic silver w/black and clear decals. I was going for an understated look, but then decided to pimp him out in r-e-d. With DH's wheelset that I "borrowed" ("but honey, they're a perfect match!") he weighs 17.6 lbs, not bad for good old steel. I can't get over how well he rides and climbs! I’d send a photo but can’t figure out how to shrink it enough to post here, sorry. PeeWee replaces my faithful Blanche, the ’99 white Litespeed Classic I have to sell b/c she no longer fits my less flexible 54-yo bod.

Have y'all checked out the IF forum on http://www.bikefanclub.com/forum/pos...Board/indepfab ?
