Ooops, trip to the bike store.....

Keeper, I noticed you don't have clipless pedals. Have you thought about going clipless? Shimano make a pedal where it's toothy on one side and the clip on the other for those who are a little intimidated by clipping in. I use the Speedplay pedals and I couldn't be happier. It allows my foot to float up to 38 degrees or so which is nice since I have a bad knee.

Pedals are going to be my next purchase. I figured that I would give myself a little time to get used to my new bike, then venture on to pedals. I've been doing a bunch of reading about pedals and it's even more confusing than choosing a bike!

Teddie, yep I think you have a keeper. What a beauty.

Thanks!!! I agree that he is a cutie!! That is actually Keeper. I've had him for about 13 years. He is an ex-race horse and I used to compete dressage on him. He is basically retired now and living the good life. So I needed a new hobby, so I've taken up a different type of riding.

Now that's a gorgeous bike. I'm very impressed!

Which shop did you buy her at?

Thanks, I like it! I got it at Richardson Bike Mart. They had just gotten them. I first went to the one in Richardson and test rode a couple there. But they did not have my size, so I had to go up to Frisco. Somewhere along the tollway, I went from "just looking", to "yeah, I'm going to get my bike".

Keeper, since everyone is commenting on your beautiful bike I could use those same quotes for your beautiful horse ( well not the clipless pedals part). Enjoy your new ride !!!!!!!

Ooh! I find it nicer-looking than the 2007. Enjoy!

what part of Dallas are you in? I did the 2005 MS from Frisco to Ardmore. It is a great ride, you will love it. My problem is that it falls the weekend before finals!!!

I live west, basically in Argyle (near Flower Mound). Unfortunately I have not been able to ride my bike since I bought it. I have been in the hospital with a horrible eye infection (probably got it when I was riding at White Rock Lake and got nasty water in my eye/on my contact). I am ready for my vision to get better, so I can ride!

I am looking forward to the MS150. Now it goes from Frisco to the Texas Motor Speedway and then into Sundance Square in FW. A friend of mine has done both routes and said it's more fun into FW than OK.
