    I love the paint job. It reminds me of the paintings I saw in China of the cherry blossoms. Beautiful. Nice work.

    Hope your quad contusion gets better fast. Just a word of warning. A small percentage of people can get calcium build up in the quad after a bad contusion. If this happens it takes medication and a longer rest to reolve the problem. So just watch for any weird problems like progressive loss of range of motion, hot areas around the contusion and extreme sensitivity that is not getting better but getting worse. If these things happen see your MD.

    She is fabulous and gorgeous! That is a pink bike I would actually ride!

    Like Wahine said about the quad contusion....watch it. The MD I used to ride with warned me about that, too, and suggested that any contusion requires massage (yes, that does sound like it hurts, doesn't it?) in order to keep the circulation going and to prevent that calcium build up. So get in your happy place and massage it as much as you can tolerate!

    Stunning, simply stunning! It must kill you not to be able to ride her yet, but I am sure you'll log many happy miles as soon as you can. You did a lovely job with the design and must be very proud!

    Could you explain this a bit more? How does the calcium build up manifest itself? Are they little lumps?
