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!

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

Salsa, I was talking to DH about it and he said "oh, it'll go for far more" with confidence. Part of me knew he would be willing to buy it for what it was going for last time I looked. Maybe we'd chop off my feet or something, who knows.
It is a NICE bike.

I can't believe that someone hasn't jumped on this bike and the current bid is so low. I have a lightspeed Bella and I just absolutely LOVE IT. I would jump on this bike, but it is way to big for me. It is such a lovely bike...

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

Rats, the timing is off for me. I'm tempted though. It's titanium and my size. I'd have to sell one of my other bikes, though.

It's a beautiful bike and also in my size. Luckily, (or unluckily) I already own a Ti bike that I'm in love with...or I'd be SO tempted!
