    Bike candy! You'll have to look for matching tires too!

    I have to ask. There have been many discussions about how much women hate the stock Bontrager saddles. How is yours?

    No problems so far...it's less padded than my last saddle. I did slide it back a bit last night. Today, I did 50 miles without any problems, but I was starting to wonder if I could go 100 miles on it...

    Mr. Silver, congrats on the new ride. It's purty. I'm of two minds about this though. While I'm happy for you, I'm sad for me b/c I likely won't be able to keep up with you at the Horsey next year!

    Enjoy the new bike! May you have many safe and fun miles on it!

    LOL!

    I noticed the ring on Mr. Silver's right hand--is that one of Silver's creations?

    Mr. Silver, what a great new bike. Thanks for the pic of you and your bike. A bike looks lonely without a rider nearby.

    Nope, Silver only works with silver (which means that technically, she's a "goldsmith" because a "silversmith" makes hollowware

    Inaugural ride:

    Smokin'!

    I bested my personal best on the Tri-Course by 6.25% on my first ride. Last year, my PB was 19.1 mph with drafting; a couple months ago, I bested this at 19.2mph and today I did 20.5mph in windier, hotter, more humid conditions!

    I was disappointed with the DuraAce shifters, but a trip to the LBS fixed that and they started to take on "slicing butter" attributes.

    The left DuraAce pedal wouldn't lock, so I rode with one DuraAce and one 105...again, a trip to the LBS fixed that.

    The guys at the LBS were ecstatic to hear about my speed improvement!

    I do have a little discomfort in the minor rhomboids...I'm hoping that's just a matter of getting used to the new geometry...
