Buying a new bike...suggestions??

[bikerHen]

I am so sorry to hear about your daughter and the RR tracks. I am glad she is ok, aside from some scrapes and bruises. Maybe she had a deal with the tracks to get a new bike!!

She had barely stop shaking when she said maybe it was time for a new bike! Maybe it was all a plot! If it wasn't for the fact that her fall screwed up several plans for the coming weekend . . . I wonder?

Let me know when you get your OCR 1 That first ride will be a blast! bikerHen

Audio-A have you looked at the Continental gand prix 3000 tires. They have some that are grey with a beautiful magenta stripe. Check out their site. Might go great with your grey Bianchi

I've had a pair of those on backorder - I completely forgot about that! I already have three of the Schwalbe pink tires sold right here - I was waiting for my trip to Colorado to put them on my Cannondale, but I think they'll look HOT on my Bianchi. All of my clothing and helmets are pink, to match my old bike, so it makes sense to throw a dash of pink on the bike. What is so funny is that in my normal (non-biking) life, I couldn't care less about matching anything! And, purple is my color, but in my bike life, it's all about the pink! Hmm, now I realize that y'all just solved my shoe problem! I had a pair of pink Nike Ventoux shoes last summer, then switched to Sidi in the winter, which fit better with heavier socks. Now that it's warm, my shoes don't fit. I was hesitant to switch back to my pink shoes, but if they match my tires, then I don't see a problem! What do the fashion mavens think???

I think it's hilarious!!...and needless to say I would brag about knowing someone who matches - from her helmet to her tires!

Ok Girls-

I went to pick up my bike and it was not ready! (how cruel is that!! ) So today is Thursday and I pick up everything...biking shorts, jersey, cleats, helmet, and of course, my bike. I got the cat eye wireless computer put on and also some upgraded petals. I am so excited!! I will update you later on my first ride. I even took half day from work so i could ride!!

(but that's more cuz i like blue and find a lot of blue clothing!)
