She is beautiful, but lesson 1 on taking pictures of bikes. Always turn them around so that we can see the cassette/chain side. We love that stuff.
oh, ok. I see now you knew it was the wrong side. See? I was so carried away with the bike, I didn't read closely.

Drat. I've already got a sloping top tube. It sure doesn't seem like it when I'm trying to dismount

thanks gals...!!
Zen...every steel bike I rode under 50cm had a sloping tube, even the Trek520.
I wish they had photos of the smaller sizes you could compare! Maybe you need a custom??
and thanks for that explanation, Lisa...very clear, very exciting...
what an excellent bike I have!!! I can't WAIT to ride it!!!! (still freakin sick...and western oregon is having a stormy day anyway...and I have spent WAY too much money on wool...but think of the boxes in the mail!!)Discipline is remembering what you want.

Elk, if it helps, park your bike by your bed so you can have her near you.

DH and I have started a mini-tradition. Any new bike in our house gets to spend its first night in our bedroom so it's the first thing we see in the morning.
