    A 2007 Specialized Roubiax Elite triple!

    Plus , I bought a pair of shoes that fit!

    It replaced my Old CAAD7, which is sitting in a closet. Two guy I ride with want to give it to their 12 year sons who have expressed an interest in racing (why do all my bikes suffer ignominious fates when I sell them? (DOW, you're treating the Bike Friday ok?)
    Names I don't do names good. The only thing that came to mind so far is the Blue baroness(or Baron) any other ideas?

    How about just: Bleu.

    French. Basic. Easy to live with. Perfect loyal sidekick name...like naming an Australian Blue Heeler just "Blue," or something.
