Yeah, I'm thinking she might be the one. So long as they sell that pretty silver bar tape somewhere! I'd like to build, and I'd really like to go with steel, but I also think sometimes supporting the LBS is important. I can still use Joshua for fat upgrade hookups, but this guy in Sisters is soooo nice! Besides, it's easier to make payments to the shop then build, my Surly is still sitting on the ground because blowing off a build is way too easy.

The only thing I don't like is the generic Sm, Med, Lrg sizing business. The medium, aka the 51 feels pretty good though. I don't have the stem eclipsing the hub, I don't know if that's bad or what, but I don't feel at all stretched out, or squished. She felt good, that's all I know. Her aluminum is forgivable, I mean, look how pretty she is!

Aaaaack! I hate bikes! I hate them! Hate them almost as much as dogs, that's why I have two dogs!!! Can't stand them!!!
