ooh - looky what I got to ride home today!

Can't stop grinning

No, it's not my new bike. But isn't it beeyoootifull! The first time I've ever tried a road bike! Wow! Whee!

I borrowed it from a colleague who's not much taller than I am, and he feels this bike is too small for him. The reach is way off for me, though, and considering that I'd like to hike up the saddle even higher it would just get worse. A stem short enough to fix that would make the handling go all wobbly, I'm afraid. With my hands on the top flat bit, or on the closest ends of the hoods (? the lowest part!) I had a comfortable reach.

But isn't it a beeeyoootifull bike! Note all the (somewhat) matching details - he was rather proud of them

Hi Laila! Too bad it's too big! It's hard to make a "too big" bike work. It's awful purty though, love the green because it's different, don't see a lot of kelly green bikes out there.

Is that a double chain ring? Can't tell from the pic, but maybe that's why you had so much fun ascending the parking garage! I know for sure I want a triple on my first road bike, I want to keep all my options open.

Happy commuting!

I love green, and that bike is a gorgeous green!
