What a beautiful bike. May you enjoy many happy and safe riding miles on it. As far as feeling guilty, I know the feeling, but please go out a just enjoy your bike.

Rolf Elans. Love that 1250 g per wheelset! I actually already had the wheels, which helped me "stay within budget" while building the rest of the bike.![]()
Actually, gals, my birthday isn't for TWO MONTHS. However, since I've never been very good at buying things for myself "just because", I felt like I had to somehow justify the purchase. I've been round and round with myself on this...do I really need a new bike? I mean, my old bike got me through some pretty tough rides and I survived, and it's still working just fine and the new wheels last year really helped with performance...but did she really need to be replaced? Why did I really want a new bike? The only real bonafide excuse I could come up with was that my old bike really hurt me after about 120 miles. (But then I suspect I'd probably hurt on ANY bike after 120 miles, and I'm not sure I'll ride anything longer than a 200 k anymore, but that's beside the point.)
I'm still not sure I really needed this bike. But I have it now, so I guess I'll just have to get over this guilty feeling. *sigh* I blame it all on Catholic school (which I got kicked out of).
The butterflies are within you.
