Should I do it sight unseen?

Way to go! I'm pullin' for ya! And white with black should be really sharp! I bid on a white with pink one on Ebay last week, but didn't want to go too high (and not that excited about pink, although it looked really nice).

Not to be nosey, but can I ask how much the special color straight from Italy costs? Seems like I remember the cost being in Euros on the website, and I don't know what the conversion is. I probably wouldn't order a funky color without knowing if it would work, but maybe someday. Crazy as it sounds, I was building myself an orange one with silver thigh glides and grey scuff guards (see what I mean by "a funky color"?). Probably wouldn't actually order it (way too afraid it would be a horrible color mistake). I have an orange w/silver & grey helmet. I also have an orange and black Sherpani pack, orange Keen sandals, orange Nike running shoes (no, I did not purchase those because of the color, but that was what made me pick them up, only to find they were 1/2 price, and fit me nicely), and an accidental orange Patagonia capilene T (prize drawing at a run). So an orange saddle with my blue & silver USPS Trek 5200 could be cool (or stupid ), but I'd have to get much faster to pull it off. I suppose I'd crash my helmet the next day, and not be able to get the same one. It all started with the helmet, and snowballed from there - sometimes just the right orange can be the best available color option, even though I'm actually a green person (eewww - maybe I need a shower?).

So, Zen, maybe that's why I only have pets! I always knew there was a reason we never had kids - I always thought it was because we're to selfish & lazy, but now I know it was fear!
