    Traded up for carbon bike

    Well, I got a bad case of bike lust, when the LBS owner said, "Pata I have the bike for you!" and showed me a new carbon women's specific fuji in extra small. Sigh. So, I traded up for a new ride. It is smooth as silk and glides up hills like no one's business. My DH says that he will put out my other steel frame Luna. I told him I still love her but I have a case of infatuation!

    Wow Pata! Nice ride!

    I haven't seen you around for awhile -now I know why - you've been out riding your new bike!
    Keep calm and carry on...

    Actually Biker Z I have been out with a knee injury -- a subluxated (sp?) pattella. Still struggling with it but it is somewhat better. Also, my computer wasn't working with the forum for a while and somehow that fixed itself as long as I use explorer for the browser.

    Cool! How do you like the SRAM Rival shifting?

    The shifting is taking a little getting used to, however, I think that's all it is. I am finding it just different, not particularly difficult or anything. It feels a little like when I went from a standard shift car to an automatic. Overall, I am pleased with the bicycle.
