She's home. Joy! I went in for my scheduled pick-up last night so they could do the final fitting. After a few minor adjustments, she was ready to take home. I wanted to ride her right out of the shop, but I had too much crud in my arms. So I unloaded all that junk and took her on the road. Wow! Just wow! I finally understand what it means to have a bike that feels like a natural extension of the my body. I think we're going to get along just fine.

On the car ride home, post ride, I felt tingly in my girlie parts(in the good way). Blush. And at a stop light I couldn't help but reach back and stroke my new frame. When I returned home with her, DH was laughing at me 'cause I couldn't keep my eyes off her. But also I think he thinks it cute that I feel this way about a bike. He's always felt that way about Kira(his custom Co-Motion).

I'd like to thank Smiley, Scott, Beau, Jon, and others who worked on her. And a special thank-you to DH whose idea it was to do this and for lovingly building my wheels. I feel so darn lucky right now.
