Very nice. ENJOY.
I'm thinking---BEE THEME. Switch out the saddle and bar tape to black. The saddlebag is fine. YOu should call the bike "Sting."

That isn't a bad idea to switch those out. I actually hadn't thought of that.

Must have been a bummer to go down on such a lovely new bike! Glad she's okay (and you, too!).
I'd stick with the white. It's really pretty.

Twigg, congratulations on your new sweet ride.
How do you like your white seat? I guess the white bar tape is a no go, but don't despair, there are some really cool bar ribbons out there with marbled colors. 
I think you will be pleased as punch to have a WSD bike.
I'm on a Specialized Sequoia and our LBS just got in a new shipment of '08's. I would love to test ride a Dolce. It looks so cool, clean and quick!
Have a great weekend ride.

I clean my white bar tape with Soft Scrub. It works like a charm. Originally Posted by twiggjlm

Nice- very nice!!!! What a beautiful ride!!!!
Sting is a good name- you can use it as a noun (I rode Sting this morning) as a verb (my bike stung the road yesterday), as an adverb (Sting's moving so stingingly fast that I couldn't see who was riding it) or as an adjective (you're stinger fast bike is amazing). Sorry- I just got done reviewing parts of speech with the students and my brain hasn't shut off.
Enjoy your new best pal!!!!Check out my running blog: www.turtlepacing.blogspot.com

This bike is so much fun to ride! Thank you all for the encouragement and the props.
I've had a bit of a shaky start on the clipless pedals (my first pair) but I know with some practice I will get used to them.
BTW-nice word usage Tri Girl! Sting is proving to be quite versatile!
