Finally...my new bike!

**twiggjlm** · 08-18-2007, 08:25 AM

So here she is!! I picked her up yesterday!

I decided to go with the Dolce. I was so much more comfortable on this bike then on the Allez. You can't see in the picture very well but she is white and yellow with a white seat. Not sure how long the seat will stay white though!!

K! I am going out to ride!! Thank you all for your advice and support while I was shopping for the perfect bike!

Have fun on your ride! Pretty bike!

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.
Sting is quite fitting hence the colors, and also considering I just crashed on the pavement and the road rash on my leg stings a lil bit! lol

No scratches on the bike though!!

That is a very pretty bike! Glad to hear you saved it as you fell

Hope the road rash clears quickly <ouch>

Gilly :-)

BEE-utiful! Congratulations!

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.

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!!!!

What a sweet bike. She looks like she has a sunny disposition.

Have lots of fun rides.

**teawoman** · 08-18-2007, 10:33 AM

Woohoo!!!!! Very purty bike!

**Starfish** · 08-18-2007, 10:36 AM

Really love the color, and also the shape of the top tube. Enjoy!

**twiggjlm** · 08-18-2007, 10:38 AM

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!

I decided to stay with the white saddle, but the white bar tape, sadly has to go. It's already gettin dirty!

I don't mind my Mtn bike dirty, but for some reason this one is different. I feel like an over-protective mother! lol

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.
