oh baby, I got me a new shiny bike!

[buffybike]

My husband is looking at the Dash3 and I've got the Avail3 (the women's specific Dash). I'm happy with mine except for a few issues with the shifters. My LBS assures me that I'm just "breaking in" the chain and it's normal.
And "color" was important to me, too. I had the bike shop change my handlebar tape from white to black to 'toughen it up' a bit!

I think the Avail 3's the women-specific Defy 3. The Dash seems to be the women-specific Rapid. But, what do I know? *shrugs*

I like the green, much nicer than the weird yellow on the 3. (I hate yellow. But that's just me.) My LBS' website doesn't have the Dash 1 up yet. Congrats on the new bike, and have fun!

thank you all for the congrats. took it out for a long ride and i was smiling all the way, until the bugs got in my teeth. Ive learned that you probably shouldn't have the mouth gaping while riding! No pic sorry, my camera is broke and i can seem to find one of good size on google.. BUT when i do, i will make sure to post.

Congrats on the new wheels - I just bought my Giant Avail this year and I love it (see pic to the left). Ride on!

Reminds me of my youngest child when he was a baby and we took him swimming for the first time. He was having such a good time, smiling so much, kept getting water in his mouth...which of course choked him a little and made him mad but he kept on smiling!

You're right! I meant "Defy"...my bad.
