I'm getting a Seven!!!!!

Regina - I just read Kali's excellent post too, and it might be good for you to get a full fit on that Serrotta fitcycle AND on your Seven at that LBS in Frederick. The fitter there can probably tell you if any adjustments can be made, and/or if you really might benefit from a custom frame. For me, the issue is that I can't get positioned properly on my current bike relative to the pedals - raising the seat just takes me further away from the pedals, and moving the saddle back makes the saddle too bouncy, and makes the backs of my knees hurt. So none of the adjustable points will address the biomechanics properly. Once we had the numbers from the fit cycle, we could compare to my current bike and realy see the differences. It was very interesting to see.

Officially jealous. Yep. That would be me.

Ann, you deserve a kick-a$$ bike cuz you are an amazing lady and I'm SO happy for you!! You have to come ride in my territory with me sometime so I can see it up close and personal.

HAVE FUN!

I've got to say that bike is absolutely stunning. I stared at it, looked at the cost, and stared some more. Some day!!! I even showed DH last night...enjoy that bike!!!

Thanks, Z. I had the bike fitted to me - twice. Latest being after I rebuilt it to remove the triple and go to a compact crank in '05. The bike has been fine for 7 years now, I just think my deteriorating neck (from a car accident) may no longer - or may SOON no longer - be up to the task of the riding I do on the bike. That is...big gear mashing down in the drops.

Oh....I read about all the wonderful bikes you ladies are getting, and I can rationalize ANYTHING!!!

Must.
