Picking my new bike up tomorrow!!!

for some reason I look rather deformed due to the camera angle, but at least I've been out! Still terrified of braking and can't quite work out where the right gears are, but I suppose it will sink in eventually...

Deformed??- get out of town- you look GREAT!!!

Your fingers look cold though.

It took me a week or two to get the hang of my brifters/shifting when I switched from bar end shifters to new brifters. If my old brain cells can do it, you'll have it down in no time at all!

Looks wonderful- enjoy!!

You look just like me in that photo.
But taller and thinner.

I'm going to tell people that's me

You're bad.

(now I'm tempted to do the same thing)

Tantrumbean- It just occurred to me that maybe you should have some lights or bright clothes somewhere so cars can see you on dark days? Remember reflectors don't help if car headlights are not on yet in the late afternoon. (Maybe a screaming yellow vest?, some blinkies front and back?)

Lol, thanks, I'm flattered!!!!

I do have lights, blinkies, high viz, etc, but this is only just round the corner from my house, so I knew I was going to be back before darkness. It was actually quite a bit lighter than it looks on that picture.

And no, the Charge saddle is on my mtb. This one still has the stock saddle on it, which, strangely enough doesn't appear too bad - will see how it feels on a longer ride....

Great photos of you and your bike, both! I'm having a chuckle here because I had my Trek Pilot for a year before I used all of the gears. I was using only the right-side gears, even up hills. Bike shops don't cover shifting when one buys a bike; at least my bike shop didn't. Once I learned I had a granny gear, I was delighted!

You look maaaahvelous together! Looks like a great fit!

[uforgot]

Is that the bike with the charge saddle on it?

Lookin' good!
