Loving my bike...

[tulip]

I had an acquaintance who had a Luna and she just raved about it. I started looking at Margo's website, thinking, "someday..." I had a very serious crash that broke my old Vitus bike, so I was kindof in the market for a new road bike but in no rush because I was only commuting at the time and had not done any road riding for a year since the accident.

On the Luna website, there was this red bike for sale--pre-built, but I thought it would be too small. When I went to Santa Fe (where Margo was until a year or so ago) to visit a friend, I thought I'd just call her up and talk to her about building a bike for me. So I went there and the red bike was there, and she put me on it, and it fit like a glove, so I wrote a check and she sent it to me. I had it built up by Jill at Proteus and then had a fitting. We didn't have to change out any parts, just tweak the seat position.

If you are interested, just call her up and ask. Her website explains the process pretty well, as does Bleeker.

PS: I had not heard of SweetPea before, and I was very enthused that Margo is a woman builder and understands women's fit issues, works solo (not a big factory), former racer, current rider, obviously knows her stuff, makes beautiful bikes. I want to support small builders like her. Oh, and I only want steel bikes.
