we all can't wait to see what your new bike looks like!

Me too.

What do you think of blood red metallic for a paint scheme?

I think it sounds perfect! (That's what I'm getting when I get my custom bike.)

Yo Susan,

Good choice on the wheel size. I don't know what fork you are going with, but if you are interested in a carbon option that isn't all aero-like in how it looks (read, massive blades), tell Natalie I have a pile of 650c Reynolds Ouzo Pro's I snatched up from Serotta about a year ago--1" steerer, all carbon. I'm happy to sell her/you one. Maybe she has other options in mind, but in 650c this would be the way to go, as any replacement steel fork would also likely take a 1" steerer. Good price, too.

Have fun!

I prefer to think of it as "ruby slippers red." Not so gory.

Except for the witch who had a house fall on top of her so you could take the ruby slippers from her dead feet?

Yeah, well, there is that. But I prefer to think of them on Dorothy's feet.

Ruby Red Slippers, I like that! The Wizard of Oz is one of my all time favorite movies. And, my sister's name is Dorothy. Hhhhmmm, maybe I'll need a Wizard of Oz nickname for my bike. It's a little bike with little wheels. Maybe I'll call it Munchkin!

Or you could name your new ride "Nessarose" after the witch whose slippers they were before Dorothy dropped a house on her.
