How on earth do you choose a bike?!

So when you get it (since I'm completely convinced you'll get it!) please post pics!

Ahhhhh, the decision is made! YEP - the TUSCANY!

Today I rode the Ruby and it just isn't the same pull at the heart strings. My guys swapped out the stem and that took care of that problem!

I chose my computer and bottle cages and pedals. I did end up calling a bike shop in Indy - they said that bike that price - snatch it up!

WOOHOOOOO!!!!! I can even spout off the componets now: all ultegra, dura ace shifters, and "sweet velocity 650 wheels"!!! YEAH!!!!

Sadly, it will be in lay-a-way for three weeks. The bike fitter will be back then so I can be properly fitted. So it works out okay that bonus time falls then. I cannot wait to ride, ride, ride!!!

Meanwhile, I'm back on the Giant FCR3 full time. It's still fun though!

You can tell it's the bike for you when it wags its fenders, rolls across the floor to you, and lays its handlebars in your lap...

... well, maybe not quite that dramatic, but you get the idea.

A Tuscany is a beautiful ride at any rate.

Of course! You're right! That's my excuse for the cat! It followed me home (My Trek does stare at me as I pull into the garage--"Where have you been? Want to go for a ride?")

Wow cool story of how that all happened, it really sounds like destiny. I wish something like that would happen to me. You know it's a good bike if it was the wife of the shop owner's bike. Plus the discounted price really makes it sweet!
