Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

I will have to share Marty's story about something that happened while I was gone for a few minutes. Joe, at this "full service" shop, was fitting her bike and while she was spinning away on the trainer, he leaned closer and said quietly, "Now you know, nothing comes between you and your bike shorts. We just happen to notice little things while we're measuring." Marty did 'fess up that I'd already told her (whew, my reputation is safe) but now she says this is most conscientious bike shop she's ever been to. "They even talk about your underwear!"

I'm 5'1 3/4 (can't leave that out
) I ride a customer Rod but I am thinking about buying this Bianchi Eros Donna http://www.bianchiusa.com/556.html as a daily ride when the weather isn't so nice... The thought of riding my ROD in the rain just kills me...
What is really nice about it is it comes with Campy parts at least at all of the LBS I've seen it at. With the height thing comes the really small hands, mine seem to have no issue breaking with campy. Hands fulls on hoods and can grab the breaks. It's a really comfy bike, tha tcomes small enough...
I had a Raleigh w/Shimano stuff on there and I hated it.... I couldnt grab the brakes and it was so not fun going down hill. I pretty much had to take my hands off the bars to break. I did sell it to a short lady with much larger hands as I woul dnot want to see anyone else go though the same issues...
Anyways that's my rant from the little peoples of the world....
