Congratulations on yer lurvely new ride.
And the pink is cool - it's not too pink. Just little pink bits.
Kind of punk pink, not pepto-bismal pink.

Think of Pinky Tescadero (sp?) in Grease. Now you're cool!



I look forward to hearing ride reports!

Congratulations on your new bike! I bought the exact same bike a couple of months ago and I love it!! (The pink clenched the deal for me )

ALL RIGHT!!!! You picked a GREAT bike! Congratulations to you and your hubby on your new bike purchases. I'm a Specialized fan myself and hubby is a Trek owner too. Go figure!

When you get a chance post a pic of you perched on your new bike. We love to see proud new owners and their bikes.

Congrats and welcome to the family I love my Dolce too. In fact, I just came inside from giving a her a bath and lubing up the chain. We got kinda dirty yesterday on our ride

I like the pink and black combo, mine is a blue/white 06 model. I want to know why anyone in their right minds puts white bar tape on a bike? Looks nice but gets brown fast.

Congrats!!! I hope the two of you have many wonderful memories together.

I am an ex-runner, too, and don't EVER see going back. I thought running was the only thing that we keep me lean and trim but was I ever wrong... Biking is great for that and so much less of a chore than running is.

I see you are in NYC - where do you plan to ride?
