...Hi Ana...

...oh, and btw, my name is Miranda, and welcome to cyber-bike-aholics..."

I'm lusting for carbon, though I haven't had an actual ride yet, but one of my guy bike pals told me his story. He did a Trek carbon demo program (from his aluminum Trek road bike) that ended up in a Trek Project 1 bike. Now, that is some beauty. After he test rode it, the disease was set into it's process. His last thoughts leaving the shop were... "how am going to get the $ for that bike?". Point of sentance importance... not "will" I, but "how".

Sooo... if you rode it, you at least know if you want it or not. Umm, right? Just don't get so love struck on the ride that you crash the demo. I've had a fender bender before... ouch.
