Wow, that's quite a climb.Originally Posted by ehirsch83
I checked out eBay, sounds like a great bike. A little small for me, I think.
On a side note, how do you like the Sram shifters?

Now I never have those issues, the double tap eliminates the throw issues.

Oooh, this is what I was wondering. I have tiny hands. Even a guy at the LBS (who is a REALLY small man) told me that SRAM works well for his small hands! Originally Posted by ehirsch83

SRAM et all
my two cents...
The Litespeed Bella is a great bike! I hope it does go to a good home.
I'm a tried and true Shimano girl. I love my Ultrega/Dura Ace combo...but even with my big hands, I did need shims, which they do make.
I just got a preview of the SRAM Red gruppo though...SWEET!!! And OMG...light and pretty it is! Even my wrench, who has gone SRAM and back...is going again, It's good stuff!"The bicycle is just as good company as most husbands and, when it gets old and shabby, a woman can dispose of it and get a new one without shocking the entire community." -- Ann Strong, Minneapolis Tribune, 1895

This bike would fit me perfectly, dammit.

Salsa, I think it's a sign
That bike is beautiful. Fortunately, it is too small for me. I'd wash myself in hot weather if I thought it would make a difference

So do you normally just take your showers cold...or maybe no bathing at all during the winter? Originally Posted by teigyr
