New bike!!! I did it!!!

Nice bike. Is it a cyclocross bike?

My bike got a name last weekend. Sheila. It just evolved to that in a conversation I had with my son, that arose because the bike's handlebars were tilted down to make them fit in the back of the car. I call my husband's bike Frank (for Frankenbike) and so now we have Frank and Sheila, and their son, John (because it's a John Deere).

No, it's not a cyclocross, it's actually a touring bike but she is so sweet! Hmm...I'm sitting here staring at her right now. I'm in love! Oh, she is so sweet and such a wonderful ride. Hmmm...Wow! I still can't believe it.

Great! Did you get it in your town or did you travel to another city? Great choice. I love the color!

my thoughts are that a touring bike is more stable than a cyclocross bike.

what is the book? don't tell me it is about Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman.

That's a good looking bike, you're lucky to be able to fit two water cages.

Is it all black?
what kind of handlebars are those?

Congrats on your new bike! I would've loved to find a t800 when I was shopping for a touring bike (well, I could've found one, but I couldn't buy new). Not only do you have 2 cages, you have a third available on the downtube. Pretty sweet for those long, hot summer rides. Congrats on Quinn. I'm excited for you!!!

Mighty Quinn!

She's lovely! The dark blue is GREAT! She looks like she's yearning for some road/trail time!

I had a Cannondale touring bike as my first road bike and to this day it was one of my favorites! Congrats! I hope you enjoy many happy miles!

Quinn is absolutely lovely - and you picked a great name for her. Here’s to many healthy, happy miles with her!!!

Quinn is lovely. I hope you have lots of happy miles together

**Aggie_Ama** · 10-08-2008, 04:53 AM

Congrats Grayson!! My Cannondale Miranda says welcome to Quinn. Blue bikes are lovely, both my roadies have been blue and white.

On a side note, my husband has a completely blue Cannondale (like American flag blue) with Silver lettering and it works great to switch bar tape for a change of pace. He had black to start, then orange, now red. Next he is talking about white, so versatile!

Great name! Many happy rides!

**sgtiger** · 10-08-2008, 11:20 AM

Quinn is lovely. I adore that deep blue color on her. Many happy, happy miles to the both of you.
