    Scarlett - This was the most awsome story about being surprised on getting a new bike. You are fortunate to be you. Enjoy your new wheels. May you have some more great memories.

    Hi all

    sorry no pics yet
    just tried to upload from mobile (cell) but its new and the sim card thing is real tiny and my pc is not so up to date........ ooh maybe i need to get Geoff to buy me a new one........... now that would be pushing it.

    I have been really busy out on the bike and its so good, already i can go up hills i previously would have stopped (for a breath catcher) once or twice,

    will do some pics really soon

    thanks x

    Great story and great bike. Specialized makes a great frame and the Roubaix is enjoyed by many in my club. Enjoy your rides and your wonderful husband as well. What a dear!
