Beautiful bike! I like the single chainring, and love that big ol' cassette!

Right. Now you'll have to get ANOTHER bike to really ride in the slush. Get an ugly one this time.

I'd like to also point out how nearly invisible those fenders are..at first I thought, what fenders?????????? (You know, re the fender discussion: wood vs plastic)
I'm a +3 on that too pretty bus....You're gonna have to go buy a used bike now...

Make ya a deal...
OK, first of all, I'm with the rest of the gang, she is a beauty
!
Next, about the snow... I'll make you a deal, as a sister midwest gal, since your beloved new purchase made my heart go pitter patter... I will go back to the sporting goods store and surrend my credit card for the xcski purchase I just got some help about in another thread... which will then make the snow melt ! It's starting to do that a bit now, just right after I told the shop guy I would be back next day to get the xcskis .
How's that for cycling sister support?

Good idea, Miranda, but I'm picturing now a troubled weather system...storms one day, melt the next, storms, melt, storms....we'll be so busy shovelling that neither one of us will get to use our new toys
Although, I have to admit this year is looking like a good xcountry ski season, so you're probably not going to waste money on that purchase.
But, now, ladies, while I admit that Slush Kicker is a pretty bike (as it stares at me from the dining room), slush is her destiny. Can I deny her her destiny? Would that not be cruel and unusual bike punishment? No, designed for slush she was, and slush she must attack. It is only a matter of time

Good point, weather divas
Ok, good point about the weather trade off... the rest might find it to be confusing
. Hmm, I was trying to figure out this winter's weather pattern, if the xcskis would be a good buy. Not too much white stuff last year. Thanks for the tip. Maybe I'll pay the shop boys a visit. Well, I see your point about Slush Kicker... yes, she must live out her destiny. Funny you say that about her staring at you from the dining room, that's where my bike sits too. DH doesn't seem to think that she goes very well with the formal victorian furniture, but I think she fits in quite nicely.
