New bike - do tell - did you go for the EMC2 in the end?

kiwi!!!!!

YES!!!
And she is beautiful, just beautiful... better than my Giant TCR... my Giant we will set up as a true TT only bike with bar-end shifters and a tri-spoke wheel.

But this lovely EMC2 Femetape... oh, she fits me as if she were custom built... the bars and shifters are so very comfortable - no more reaching and squeezing with my fingertips to brake... the cranks are shorter like my Giant ... the Scorpio I have been training and road-racing on has longer cranks. Having a compact chain set is taking me a while to get used to, but I spin like Lance (well, it feels like it) up hills!!!

Every female who wants to race on the road should be subsidised into owning one of these...

My partner said The Hub (local shop) was going to get one in and maybe we should go look... then he said, there's one in but maybe he'll measure it up first to make sure it would fit me ok... then he came and picked me up from work one day and guess what was sitting in the back of the van???

He decided, because I had had a rough couple of months with sick parents and a few "run-ins" with my boss that I should have it now - thats what credit cards are for, right?

I am so lucky, I feel so spoilt and special

And it is true what they say about EMCs... I feel so safe and secure going downhill and round corners... it is a stiff bike, but absolutely sweet... I don't want to ride anything else in a road race situation, and when this one starts to get old, it will be just my training bike, and I will get another EMC...

Hi

don't know if it is of any help, but if you get their number, you can report them to the police. At least you can do that in Oz. But you do need to go into the station and fill in the form.
