What a surprise!
I know you'll have many happy miles together. And I can't wait to see it. We'll need to do an Oakland hills ride this summer.

Woo hoo! I am so excited!
The long femurs were a surprise (well, long relative to my calves - I don't think they are freakishly long!).
Now I know why I always feel like I need to push my saddle way back (until it's like a springy diving board - not good!), or scoot myself right off the back of it.
I am in my early 40s, so I don't think I actualy "grew" an inch
, but I must be standing up straighter these days, and that seems to have made a difference. I am officially 5'3.85", and I have always thought of myself as 5'2". This changes everything!
Kim - Oakland hills rides are definitely on the agenda, but as great as this bike will be, it's still the same old slow up-hill rider pedaling! Although, I should have a more efficient pedal stroke when I am positioned better on the bike - maybe that will help get up those hills!
P.S. Ace - you can just forget that $2.-whatever!Keep calm and carry on...

Maybe the Bears should be my inaugural ride on the new bike? I'll suffer on the climbs (as usual) but we'll be picking the bugs out of my teeth after the downhills!

Bikerz, you seem to always have a positive, happy attitude and an easy smile (I wish I were more like you!) But hanging out after the Cinderella ride on Saturday, you seemed extra happy! At long last you're going to have the bike that you LOVE. Congratulations! Happy dance! Happy dance!
