MMMMM love it, white/black bikes are so gorgeous.
I question the sizing of my bike periodically, but it is definitely not time for something new on my end! Enjoy!

Very pretty!! I almost had them order the same one for me to try. I was sure I would need a WSD but w easily got the other to fit me.

Gorgeous! I really love the black and white combination done that way. Shamu would be very fitting!

I'm not quite sure what my lesson is from this is, but there has got to be one (maybe don't buy a bike because you like how it looks and then convince yourself it fits and is comfy...????) I was so excited about my Orbea, and really, really wanted to love it, but I don't think that it was ever really the right bike for me. It was fin to ride, but basically killed my body (back and neck mainly). I did multiple fittings (not at the place I bought it, they lost interest after they had my $$$), but nothing made it much better. So I rode less and less. Now that the weather is nice, I really want to ride. After yesterday's ride, I was almost in tears. So I took a trip to the bike store today and test rode a bunch of bikes. I started riding with a Specialized Dolce, and was pretty comfortable overall. So not surprisingly the Specialized were still the most comfortable. So I came home with a Specialized Ruby Expert. After a fitting that included lots of adjustments and part changes. 2009 model, so I got a great deal. I am hoping I can actually have fun riding again!!

Your ruby is gorgeous - so was shamu... What happened to Shamu? Put out to pasture?
I'm sorry that shamu didn't work, that ended up an expensive lesson ;(
