PICTURES! PICTURES! PICTURES! She's finally unveiled!

[BikerJen]

Nice fleet of bikes there!!! Have fun! I like the pink, black and silver as well. Good choice! Ditto on saddle feedback - let me know what you think of it.

I could only get the pics of your bike to appear, the rest I couldn't open so I will comment on your new bike. How nice the pink accent pieces look with that black and grey! And light too, wow. 17#s! Nice bike.

Thanks for all the comments. I'll reply to some of the questions.

COSC - Yes, the tandem and MTB are the same color, red. The MTB is DH's.

SHEESHThe bike closet was part of the over all custom cabinetry that was installed by a closet company. I think Closet Factory. DH made sure there was a closet just right for his bike. Luckily it fits mine too! He's going to put hooks on the inside of the doors to hang jackets.

CINNAMON TOAST and BIKERJEN The saddle ... I'm PRETTY sure I like it. Still getting a feel for it. It's the Damselfly. I also tried the Falcon X and did NOT like that one. It's cushier, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it just hurt my sit bones. I think it's the size, which is surprising to me since I'm not a teeny sit bone person. At least I don't think! I know I have child bearing hips, so I figure wide sit bones come with!

I don't necessarily want such a hard seat, so I may try something else at some point. I have 90 days (from a couple of weeks ago) to try it and I can send it back if I decide it's not working. It's been fine so far, but I don't know if I'll be hating it on longer rides. I've gone 25 miles so far on it, but plan to do a century on it eventually.

I think I'd hate that saddle on the tandem. Too much sitting down time. We rode the tandem yesterday and I was appreciating my Selle Trans Am (Same as Gel Flo). Completely different seat, but works better for the tandem. I do want to try it on the single, just to seee what it's like.

I think I answered everyone's questions. Thanks again for all the kudos on my new Baby! (And, by the way, Happy Birthday to me! Today's my birthday!)

Happy Birthday! What a fantastic birthday present. Very nice. I also like the bike closet, and the general cleanliness and organization of your garage. We only have 3 bikes and are constantly shuffling them around to get to things.

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

Very cool.
What are the handlebars on your new bike?

[Zen]

Pink and black always makes me think of Good and Plenty candy

[HeatherErin]

Very purdy new bike! That's a nice fleet of bikes!

[RoadRaven]

I can't get those pix to load for me here (connected at the moment at 16.8kbps)
I'll have to look at them on Monday at work (am in an off-campus meeting all day today)

Looking forward to it Jiffer - Baby sure sounds purty

[HillSlugger]

Pretty bike.

Glad to see you on a Mac

[teigyr]

Beautiful

I will have to show DH the picture of the closet. The more storage we have, the more bikes we can own!

Thanks for showing all the pics! I love the pink, it looks gorgeous.

[ladyicon]

Wow, really nice bikes. What really impressed me was how clean and neat your garage is. I also loved that bike closet idea!!!! Enjoy the new bike

[Jiffer]

Regarding the bike storage, DH is planning on hanging the tandem as well. Started to work on doing it once, but it didn't quite fit in the very spot he was attempting to put it. He has another plan, but hasn't done it yet.

Yes, the bike storage closet is especially nice for our most expensive bikes that don't have kick stands (of course) that we don't want falling over or getting stolen if the garage door gets left open. A bike did disappear from we "think" our garage recently. Luckily it was one of the cheap kid bikes! We're not even sure if she left it out or if someone walked up to the garage and swiped it. There's a new rule in our house now about NOT leaving the garage door open when we grab our bike or skateboard to go play at our friend's house!

MDHillSlug .... YES! Mac's rule!!!

What a beautiful family! I approve of the pink accessories, and the Dura-ace accessories certainly don't hurt.

-- gnat!

[Aggie_Ama]

Finally!! I love it, you have inspired me to add blue accents to my bike.

That is the perfect amount of girly pink, not over the top but it really compliments the black. Happy rides!!

[DDH]

Beautiful!!!! Bike and girl!!! I love the pink stuff.
